    Arthur Ovaska March 6, 1951 – March 26, 2018 Arthur Ovaska, an Associate Professor in the Department of Architecture, died at the age of 67 on March 26, 2018 at his home in Ithaca, New York after a long struggle with cancer. He is survived by his wife, Sherri, his two sons, Eric and Alan, and his daughter, Wynter. Originally hailing from the coast of Massachusetts's Cape Cod Bay, Arthur began his study of Architecture at Cornell as an undergraduate student in 1968, graduating with a B.Arch. in 1974. Two years later he went on to his Master of Architecture degree, with Oswald Mathias Ungers and Colin Rowe as his initial advisors. From 1974 to 1978, he collaborated with Ungers in Ithaca and in Cologne, Germany, on a number of international architectural competitions, as well as on three landmark Cornell Summer programs: “The Urban Block” in Ithaca, and both “The Urban Villa” and “The Urban Garden” in Berlin. He was a major contributor to The City in the City: Berlin, A Green Archipelago, a 1977 manifesto by O.M.Ungers and Rem Koolhaas. In 1978, he co-founded the office Kollhoff & Ovaska with Hans Kollhoff, who had also been engaged with Cornell's graduate program and a collaborator on "The City in the City" project. Their office produced significant designs for Berlin's International Building Exposition 1979- 1984/87, including the original master plan as well as several constructions including the Lindenstrasse Apartments and the Museum Gardens (near the Berlin/Jewish Museum) and the Luisenplatz Development (near the Charlottenburg Castle), to name a few.

Puis, de sa petite ville natale de Rhé- nanie-Palatinat, il emménage à Karlsruhe dans le but d’y faire ses études à la Technische Hochschule (TU). Porté par « un intérêt émotionnel pour la modernité »1, Ungers décide rapidement de se plonger dans un cursus d’ar- chitecture.

  • Oswald Mathias Ungers: Dialectical Principles of Design
    OSWALD MATHIAS UNGERS: DIALECTICAL PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN Sam Jacoby Architectural Association School of Architecture, UK This is an Accepted Manuscript by Taylor & Francis for publication in The Journal of Architecture on 29.05.2018 1 ABSTRACT An important contributor to the post-war debate on architecture’s relationship to the city was the German architect Oswald Mathias Ungers (1926–2007). Starting in the early 1960s, he became increasingly interested in questions of typological organisation and morphological transformation, positing their relationship in dialectical principles. This paper traces some of the shifts in Ungers’s understanding of architecture through a utilisation of typology as a design theme, the morphological transformation of architectural form, and the coincidence of opposites in urban building complexes by reviewing a selection of closely linked pieces of design research (lectures, writings, and large-scale housing projects) from the 1960s to 80s. This paper examines how Ungers’s interest in rational design as a problem of serial formal and social transformations led him to new understandings of architectural and urban design. The concepts of typology and morphology hereby played a central role in reclaiming architecture as a formal and intellectual, but also a social and imaginative project, through which the city could be reasoned, however, always through the problems arising from architectural form itself. 2 INTRODUCTION Oswald Mathias Ungers (1926–2007) was an influential post-war German architect and important

THROUGH MODELS, DRAWINGS, AND PHOTOGRAPHS, IT PRESENTS TWENTY-FIVE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT MUSEUM BUILDING PROJECTS FROM THE PAST TEN YEARS. THE FEATURED PROJECTS — ALL KEY WORKS BY RENOWNED ARCHITECTS — OFFER A PANORAMA OF INTERNATIONAL MUSEUM ARCHITECTURE AT THE OPENING OF THE 21ST CENTURY. Thanks to broad-based public support, MAM is currently in the initial planning phase of its own expansion with Museum Park, the City of Miami’s official urban redesign vision for Bicentennial Park. MAM’s expansion will provide Miami with a 21st-century art museum that will serve as a gathering place for cultural exchange, as well as an educational resource for the community, and a symbol of Miami’s role as a 21st-century city. In the last decade, Miami has quickly become known as the Gateway of the Americas. Despite this unique cultural and economic status, Miami remains the only major city in the United States without a world-class art museum. The Museum Park project realizes a key goal set by the community when MAM was established in 1996.

  • Die Abwesende Utopie Skizze Zu Einer Kritischen Geschichte Der Städtebaulichen Leitbilder 1965-19851
    33 Vittorio Magnago Lampugnani Die abwesende Utopie Skizze zu einer kritischen Geschichte der städtebaulichen Leitbilder 1965-19851 Konkrete Utopie steht am Horizont jeder Realität. Ernst Bloch, Das Prinzip Hoffnung.2 Eine Wasserscheide in der Entwicklung der avantgardistischen urbanisti- schen Kultur bildete das Treffen vom Team 10,3 das 1966 in Berlin stattfand. Dies ist scheinbar doppelt paradox: denn institutionell begann mit dieser Tagung der Verlust der Führungsposition der ehemals revolu- tionären Architektengruppe innerhalb der fortschrittlichen Produzenten städtebaulicher Leitbilder, ein Verlust, der 1971 auf dem letzten Kongreß in Toulouse le Mirail endgültig und allgemein feststellbar werden sollte; und inhaltlich standen kaum neue konzeptionelle Ansätze im Mittel- punkt der Diskussion. In der Tat traten die bedeutsamen und innovativen Impulse marginal, sozusagen neben der Hauptveranstaltung auf, und darüber hinaus durch zwei Außenseiter. Der erste war Oswald Mathias Ungers, der bereits Anfang der sechziger Jahre begonnen hatte, mit Peter Smithson zusammenzuarbeiten, und mit diesem Treffen den Vorstellungen des Team 10 näherrückte. Sein 1964 in Angriff genommenes Projekt »Berlin 1995«, das noch die technologi- sche Utopie der Megastruktur verfolgte und die Grundidee von Smith- sons »urban infrastructure« übernahm, schlug anstelle des Verkehrswege- Systems für Automobile eine Kabinenbahn vor.

  • „Haus Im Haus". Die Umsetzung Eines Topos Im Modernen Kirchenbau
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Langer, Andrea (Hrsg.): Der Umgang mit dem kulturellen Erbe in Deutschland und Polen im 20. Jahrhundert, Warszawa 2004, S. 249-264 u. Abb. 1-15 Kai Kappel „Haus im Haus". Die Umsetzung eines Topos im modernen Kirchenbau In der Geschichte des Sakralbaues sind raumhaltige Ausgrenzungen und kleinmaßstäbliche Binnenarchitekturen durchaus geläufig. Meist wurden liturgisch bedeutsame Orte architektonisch ausgestaltet und gleichzeitig oder nachträglich mit einer äußeren Raumhülle umgeben. Ein antikes Beispiel ist das jüngere Didymaion mit seinem Kultbau im Sekos. Im Bereich des christlichen Sakralbaues sind dies die Grabeskirche in Jerusalem und manche ihrer Kopien, Kirchen mit Loreto-Haus oder S. Maria degli Angeli bei Assisi. Hingewiesen sei auch auf Altarziborien, Schreine und die Archi- tektonisierung des Allerheiligsten in Form von Sakramentshäusern. In einem weiteren Sinne zugehörig sind Einbauten in bestehende Strukturen, etwa die Adaption antiker Tempel für Kirchen. Der Kirchenbau des 20. Jahrhunderts und der Gegenwart ist unter dieser Perspektive bisher noch nicht differen­ ziert betrachtet worden. Dieser Überblick über die höchst unterschiedlichen formalen Möglichkeiten baulicher Inkorporation ist auf Deutschland be­ schränkt; Umnutzungen, die zur Profanisierung von Kirchen geführt haben, werden nicht behandelt. „Haus im Haus" ist ein bisher kaum definierter architektonischer Topos. Oswald Mathias Ungers hat diesen verwendet, wenn mehrere Raumhüllen einen im Kern liegenden Raum umgeben.1 Um die mit dem Thema in Verbindung stehenden baulichen Erscheinungen präzise charakterisieren zu können, ist es erforderlich, weitere Begrifflichkeiten einzuführen. Die Einfü­ gung eines formal wie statisch weitgehend autonomen Systems aus Stützen, Decke und Dach in eine bestehende Raumstruktur wird als „Implementie­ rung" bezeichnet. Bei einem „Haus im Haus" befindet sich innerhalb der Umfassungsmauern eines Gebäudes ein freistehender, durch Mauern oder 1 UNGERS (1983), 59, zum Folgenden besonders 55-72.

Für ihn bedeutete es den Gewinn räumlicher Erfahrungen und eine Erprobung des Möglichen. Es war ein Laboratorium, »ein kleines Universum«, »ein Weltstück«. Nicht weniger als drei Wohnhäuser hat Ungers für sich und seine Familie im Laufe seines Lebens gebaut, zwei im Kölner Vorort Mün- gersdorf, eines in der Eifel. Schon das erste, dem dieser Band ge- widmet ist, erregte internationales Aufsehen; es galt als wichtiges Beispiel des sogenannten Brutalismus. Es zeige »alles, was ich damals konnte«, schrieb Ungers zu dem Bau. Einhüllung und Ber- gung, Metamorphose und Transformation, Autonomieanspruch der Architektur, aber auch Rücksichtnahme auf den genius loci waren gewollt. Architekten bauten damals gern frei stehende Bungalows im Grünen für sich. Ungers dagegen siedelte sich in einem Ort mit Auslieferungen Spuren römischer Vergangenheit an und erwarb ein Grundstück, das an eine bereits existierende Zeile von Reihenhäusern anschloß.

  • The City As Archipelago Oswald Mathias Ungers
    ARCH381 Ahmad Alnaji I Abdülbaki Demir I Büşra Tanoğlu I Doğa Öykü Önen I Elmas Sultan ŞimşekI Gizem Kalay URBAN DESIGN Oswald Mathias Ungers The City as Archipelago Oswald Mathias Ungers ● 1926-2007 ● Frankfurt/Germany ● Architectural Theorist ● The Archive for Architectural Research ● “representative of radical neo-rationalism in antithesis with certain trends in the new avant-garde movements” (Cambridge Dictionary) Archipelago a group of small islands /ˌɑː.kɪˈpel.ə.ɡəʊ/ an area of sea in which there are many small islands: the Hawaiian archipelago What is Archipelago? An archipelago is a group of islands set in a sea that simultaneously unites and divides them. Each island is a part of the whole composition and works together. However, even in the absolute separation of the islands, there is not any center. The centerless is both a thing that attracts the islands toward each other and separates them. As a result, it prevents a single mass and it increases the relationship between the islands. Archipelago describes a condition where parts are separated but at the same time, still united by the common ground of their juxtaposition. This concept is based on creating different well defined zones of the city. These zones are surrounded by other urban context, but keep their character preserved. For example, if we compare Greek polis and The Roman Empire in terms of the geographical and political form, we can say that the Greek polis can be described as an archipelago.
