Ostermann and Charles Kraus, Series Editors This paper is one of a series of Working Papers published by the Cold War International History Project of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C. Established in 1991 by a grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Cold War International History Project (CWIHP) disseminates new information and perspectives on the history of the Cold War as it emerges from previously inaccessible sources from all sides of the post-World War II superpower rivalry. Among the activities undertaken by the Project to promote this aim are the Wilson Center's Digital Archive; a periodic Bulletin and other publications to disseminate new findings, views, and activities pertaining to Cold War history; a fellowship program for historians to conduct archival research and study Cold War history in the United States; and international scholarly meetings, conferences, and seminars. The CWIHP Working Paper series provides a speedy publication outlet for researchers who have gained access to newly-available archives and sources related to Cold War history and would like to share their results and analysis with a broad audience of academics, journalists, policymakers, and students. CWIHP especially welcomes submissions which use archival sources from outside of the United States; offer novel interpretations of well-known episodes in Cold War history; explore understudied events, issues, and personalities important to the Cold War; or improve understanding of the Cold War’s legacies and political relevance in the present day.

  • Retallick (Page 1)
    1 Architecture about Architecture/ The wisdom to know the difference? Peter Retallick Key Words: Ethics, Psychology, Philosophy, Third Reich Abstract of the paper In this paper I examine whether “design wisdom” is a prerequisite for self-fulfillment or self-actualization. I refer to various philosophers and I look at the life of Albert Speer. He was an architect in the Third Reich and had a close relationship with Hitler. A combination of flawed personalities made these two a team. Speer brought his design skills to work for National Socialism and in so doing gave them a sort of imprimatur or cachet. There is a brief description of Speer’s journey into the centre of power and the result for him was a twenty-year jail sentence. My thesis is that Speer’s involvement in this is archetypal and lessons can be learned from his experience. He was not a thug, mediocre or incompetent. Submission Part 1 Wisdom is sometimes defined as a wise outlook, plan or course of action, common sense and good judgement. It follows that design wisdom has some functional component connected with the act of designing. In all of these things responsibility is an implicit component. For design practice it could include such a wide range of issues and permutations that a personal design manifesto is endless. The designer is constantly coming into contact with new situations and people, and he or she needs to find a path that satisfies creative desires as well as providing a degree of accountability. Peter Singer offers a definition that I believe is helpful because it brings a plethora of ideas down to something concrete.

  • Backgrounder: Siemensstadt 2.0 Berlin
    Backgrounder Berlin, January 8, 2020 Siemensstadt 2.0 Berlin: Participants in the urban development competition In the summer of 2019, Siemens and the State of Berlin selected and invited 18 architecture and urban planning firms to participate in the urban development competition for Siemensstadt 2.0 in Berlin. Seventeen firms took part. The teams had close to three months to create their designs, working together with – if necessary external – landscape architects and other experts for traffic, infrastructure, protection of historic buildings, and sustainability. AS+P Albert Speer + Partner (Frankfurt am Main) Architecture, urban planning, traffic and open space planning, and the planning of cultural, educational and sports facilities, airports and trade fairs – so diverse is the expertise of the architectural firm founded by Prof. Albert Speer. Over the years, the firm – with its 200 employees – has developed, among other projects, the Audi IN campus in Ingolstadt as a research and development center, and a new residential district on the site of a former military barracks in Darmstadt. AS+P created the urban planning concept for the Siemens Campus in Erlangen. www.as-p.de ASTOC Architects and Planners (Cologne) When developing master plans for entire cities or urban districts, ASTOC covers every aspect from the project’s social-spatial qualities down to the details of each individual house. The firm, with its 80 employees, followed this principle with its Europacity Berlin project, which it handled all the way from winning the urban design competition to planning the individual buildings. The firm has also secured its reputation as a developer of new urban districts with projects in Regensburg (Marina Quarter) and Hamburg (Holzhafen Quarter).

The triangle emblem consists of graphics of a white magnolia flower, a large junk and a propeller. The propeller symbolizes the continuous advancement of the city; the large junk, one of the oldest vessels plying the Shanghai harbor, represents the long history of the port; and the large junk is set against a background of a white magnolia flower blossoming in the early spring, forecasting a bright future of the city. Back to >> C ontents The City Flower In 1986, the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Municipal People's Congress passed a resolution to adopt the white magnolia as the city flower.

  • Ian Hamilton Finlay, Albert Speer, and the Ideology of the Aesthetic at Little Sparta and Spandau GREG THOMAS Independent Scholar
    Ian Hamilton Finlay, Albert Speer, and the Ideology of the Aesthetic at Little Sparta and Spandau GREG THOMAS Independent Scholar Abstract: This article assesses the development of Ian Hamilton Finlay’s concrete and post-concrete aesthetics from his contact with Brazil’s Noigandres poets in 1962 until his late-1970s correspondence with the architect and former Nazi minister Albert Speer. It considers Finlay’s work over this period, from early-1960s concrete poems evoking a private realm of formal order to counterfactual renderings of the same works on neoclassical and Third Reich architecture. The second half of the essay offers a reading of A Walled Garden, Finlay and Ian Gardner’s study of Speer’s garden on the grounds of Spandau prison. The article posits a gradual awakening of Finlay’s sense of the ideological quality of aesthetic judgement, culminating in works that ask troubling questions about the relationship between the socially unifying work of concretist aesthetics and the social repression and violence of Nazism. Keywords: Concrete poetry, Brazil, architecture, gardens, aesthetics At some point in the late 1970s, probably in August 1977, Ian Hamilton Finlay established a correspondence with the architect and former Nazi armaments minister Albert Speer.1 Finlay had already read Spandau: The Secret Diaries, 1 Acknowledgments and sincere thanks are due to the following organizations and estates for granting copyright permissions and/or authorizing reproductions or quotations: Wild Hawthorn Press for allowing reproduction of poems
