Hochschulbau, Team-X-Ideale und tektonische Phantasie / Campus design, Team X ideals and tectonic invention

By: Karl Kiem

Das Gebäude der Freien Universität Berlin (Candilis, Josic, Woods, Schiedhelm, 1963-73) ist ein bahnbrechendes Werk in der Tradition der heroischen Moderne. Dieses wird in der vorliegenden Untersuchung anhand einer Fülle bisher unpublizierten Quellenmaterials zum ersten Mal umfassend untersucht. So werden nicht nur die bei diesem Gebäude umgesetzten technischen Innovationen, sein utopischer Charakter und sein Einfluss auf die internationale Entwicklung im Hochschulbau der sechziger Jahre des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts untersucht, sondern auch die (personellen, politischen und mentalen) Ursachen für die Vielzahl der technischen Probleme, die die Ausführung des Gebäudes kompromittierten und schließlich einen dunklen Schatten auf seine Reputation legten. Das in jüngster Zeit wiedererwachte Interesse an der FU Berlin und den Architekten Candilis, Josic, Woods und Schiedhelm zeigt, wie die Relevanz dieses Gebäudes mit seiner kompakten Synthese von komplexer Konzeption und tektonischer Innovation in Verbindung mit differenzierten baugeschichtlichen Bezügen jenseits von nostalgischen Formen für Architekten, Lehrende, Studenten und Theoretiker fortdauert.

Asian Contagion

The Causes And Consequences Of A Financial Crisis

By: Karl Jackson

For much of the second half of the twentieth century, the Asian economic "miracle" has fueled the greatest expansion of wealth for the largest population in the history of mankind. In the summer of 1997, thirty years of economic boom came crashing back to earth. The reality of unrestrained speculation, inefficiently regulated currency exchange, banking instability and bad loans have struck the much-vaunted "Asian Tigers" like Thailand, Indonesia, Korea, and, finally, Japan, casting a shadow of uncertainty on a region recently to the fore in the world economic system. Recovery depends largely on reform within the Asian economies themselves and a cold assessment of the structural weaknesses that lay under the surface, but only now have come to light. The implications for world economies and, more broadly, the dynamics of world politics, are tremendous.

Shuker has collected evidence of these mysterious, somewhat mythical creatures in THE BEASTS THAT HIDE FROM MAN. Shuker provides entertaining, solidly researched tales about extraordinary animals. Shuker also provides a supplement to Bernard Heuvelmans's checklist of cryptozoological animals, which contains updated information on unknown creatures.
