  • PORTALS to the PAST and to the FUTURE JÜRGEN SEEFELDT the Advent of the Digital Era Has Raised Questions on the Future Course of Library Development
    PORTALS TO THE PAST AND TO THE FUTURE JÜRGEN SEEFELDT The advent of the digital era has raised questions on the future course of library development. The challenge of maintaining a LUDGER SYRÉ balance between their educational, cultural and service roles has presented libraries with new challenges – challenges which their rich and varied media holdings, modern technical infrastructure and information specialist competence well equip them to face. This fourth revised and extended English edition of “Portals to the Past and to the Future” by Jürgen Seefeldt and Ludger Syré, now in its fifth German edition, is an in-depth state-of-the art report on current German librarianship. Lavishly illustrated, PORTALS the book traces the history of libraries in Germany, portrays the various types of library and cites many examples of the TO THE PAST AND TO outstanding achievements of nationwide library cooperation in the Federal Republic of Germany. The reader will gain both a revealing insight into the cultural and educational THE FUTURE policy underlying the German library system and an outline of the profession. Special at- tention has been paid to current developments such as the preservation and presentation of the common cultural heritage and the emergence of the digital library. LIBRARIES This book has been translated not only into English but also into Arabic, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Russian and Turkish and is now the standard work on libraries and librarianship IN GERMANY in Germany. Because of the interest it has generated internationally, it was decided to pub- lish the German and English versions of this new edition simultaneously.

  • Cantzheim Kanzem an Der Saar
    CANTZHEIM KANZEM AN DER SAAR Vor der imposanten Kulisse des Weinbergs entfaltet das spätbarocke Gutshaus „Cantzheim“ in Kanzem bei Trier eine faszinierende ästhetische Wirkung. Durch den denkmalgerechten Umbau und die Modernisierung des Hauses hat Max Dudler diese außergewöhnliche Verbindung zwischen Architektur und Landschaft neu belebt. Die zwei ergänzenden Neubauten halten respektvollen Abstand und betonen so die solitäre Wirkung des Gutshauses. Die harmonische Fassung des Gesamtensembles in die landschaftliche Szenerie gelingt durch die unaufdringliche Landschaftsarchitektur von Bernhard Korte. Die ästhetische Wirkung des 1740 für das ehemalige Weingut des Prämonstratenserklosters Wadgassen errichteten und lange im Besitz des Bischöflichen Priesterseminars Trier befindlichen Gutshauses bewegte den heutigen Besitzer zum Kauf des Anwesens im Jahr 2007. Die Instandsetzung und Entwicklung der Anwesen verfolgte vorrangig das Ziel, die solitäre Wirkung des spätbarocken Gutshauses herauszuarbeiten und den beeindruckenden Hintergrund – den Schwung des Weinbergs mit der klaren Gliederung der Rebstöcke – in die Gestaltung der Gesamtanlage einzubeziehen. Die barocke Bausubstanz des Gutshauses wurde vollständig respektiert und fremde Anbauten entfernt. Für das Innere des Hauses galt die Prämisse, die ursprüngliche Struktur nicht anzutasten, die Räume jedoch für eine zeitgemäße Nutzung zu modernisieren. Die Unterbringung der Technik in der neu errichteten Remise ermöglicht den Betrieb ohne Einschränkung der barocken Bausubstanz. Die räumlich getrennten

Although the fact may be surprising to some, landscape painting is positively thriving in the 21st century—indeed, the genre has arguably never felt as vital as it does today. The reasons why, if speculative, surely include our imminent environmental collapse and increasingly digitally mediated existence. Landscape Painting Now is the first book of its kind to take a global view of its subject, featuring more than eighty outstanding contemporary artists— both established and emerging—whose ages span seven decades and who hail from

  • City Library Heidenheim A. D. Brenz
    CITY LIBRARY HEIDENHEIM A. D. BRENZ Max Dudler’s most recent library building in Heidenheim resembles an abstract of a city skyline. The structure extends between the historic Old Town and the eastern part of the city – characterised by a heterogeneous, post-war architectural style – and unites Heidenheim’s layers of architectural history. In 2013, Max Dudler won the Heidenheim competition for the design of the new building, which was officially inaugurated on 10 November 2017. The inner city of Heidenheim is characterised by post-war architecture, which is visually distinct from the historical development of the Old Town. Max Dudler’s new library building is situated on the previously inaccessible property of a former penal institution, which has hitherto manifested the division between the small-scale development in the eastern part of the city and the Old Town. The new city library now connects the two areas: As an urban figure, it reflects the many layers of Heidenheim’s architectural history and the scale of the surrounding area by making proportional reference to the gabled buildings in the adjacent Old Town. Between the two “heads” rising into the sky spans an urban landscape made up of smaller “houses”, the layout of which is oriented on the long structure parallel to it. The transformation of the “organic” city results in a sculptural structure, an urban silhouette. In conjunction with the neighbouring St. Paul’s Church and the old town hall, the new building can be seen both as a solitary object and an integral part of the urban context. The urban setting and formulation of the new building block refers directly to the existing typologies in the inner city, characterised by passages, squares and promenades.

Ungers School in Germany 이 은 영*1) Yi, Eun-Young (명지대학교 건축학부 교수) Abstract Classic rationalist architecture came to play an important role in modern architectural discourse in the 1970s. But it has declined since the death of its most representative architects Aldo Rossi and O. M. Ungers. However, the phenomenon to be noted is that a new momentum was brought to the German architectural scene through some remarkable achievements by the disciples of Ungers after 2000. This study aims to read this phenomenon on the topography of german architecture and to catch out what potential it has to create balance in the international architectural debate. It is not the aim to analyze a single architect in detail, but to compare some important architects like Hans Kollhoff, Max Dudler, Eun-Young Yi and Uwe Schröder. And further the study will try to give an overview of how far this phenomenon can change the topography of the German architectural scene. The buildings that have been examined here are Daimler Chrysler Building, Grimm Zentrum, Stuttgart City Library, and Haus Hundertacht. Through this study, it was found that some architects continue the attitude and the architectural languages of O. M. Ungers and develope their own unique architecture. And this phenomenon has the potential to influence todays architectural debate on a global scale.
