A depiction of his most important works New forms of lightweight and adaptable construction Insight into interdisciplinary research projects Frei Otto's work as a source of inspiration for architects and engineers worldwide No other architect provided as many ideas and inspiration to construction in the second half of the 20th century as Frei Otto. Lord Norman Foster described this great pioneer of lightweight construction simply as "an inspiration". Frei Otto explored the foundations of resource and energy-efficient building well before these issues received the attention of the wider public. By including users in construction planning and taking into account local and climatic conditions, he opened new avenues for the building industry. To celebrate his 90th birthday, the publication provides insights on the key aspects of his work. At its heart was the search for natural designs and an exploration of form-finding and self-development processes. As such he created a whole universe of ideas using membrane, net and convertible roofs with umbrellas, grid shells, and pneumatic structures. The book introduces his key works and highlights how his ideas were adopted and continued throughout the world. Kein anderer Architekt hat dem Bauen in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts so viele Anregungen und Impulse gegeben wie Frei Otto. Frei Otto erforschte die Grundlagen zu ressourcenschonendem und energieeffizientem Bauen lange bevor diese Themen in den Fokus der breiten Öffentlichkeit rückten. Mit der Einbeziehung der Nutzer in die Bauplanung sowie der Berücksichtigung klimatischer und örtlicher Gegebenheiten wies er dem Bauwesen neue Wege. Die Publikation anlässlich des 90. Geburtstags von Frei Otto gibt Einblicke in alle wichtigen Aspekte seines Schaffens. In dessen Zentrum standen die Suche nach natürlichen Konstruktionen und die Erforschung von Formfindungs- sowie Selbstbildungsprozessen. Dazu entwickelte er mit Membran-, Seilnetz- und wandelbaren Dächern, mit Schirmen, Gitterschalen und pneumatischen Konstruktionen ein ganzes Universum an Ideen. Das Buch stellt seine wichtigsten Arbeiten vor und zeigt, wie seine Vorstellungen weltweit aufgegriffen und fortgeführt wurden.

Ist 1968 gescheitert? Die Frage ist falsch gestellt. Die Ereignisse, die Bedeutung und die Auswirkungen von '68 lassen sich nicht in einem schlüssigen Narrativ fassen. Das Jahr beschreibt einen Kulminationspunkt, an dem höchst heterogene kulturelle, soziale und politische Phänomen in eine Interaktion zueinander treten, ohne ursächlich miteinander verbunden zu sein. Herzstück des Bandes ist ein Essay von Hermann Kappelhoff, der '68 aus der Analyse von Happenings, avantgardistischen Aktionen und Filmen heraus als Synonym für eine Form kultureller Gemeinschaftsbildung beschreibt; es markiert die Geburtsstunde der transnationalen Geschmacksgemeinschaft der westlichen Pop- und Jugendkultur. Dass sich der radikale kulturelle Wandel von '68 nur in seiner Heterogenität fassen lässt und die Logik des Happenings und des Widerspruchs zur poetischen Matrix des Kinos wird, zeigt ein Kaleidoskop aus Analysen von Filmen, die 1968 gezeigt wurden.

Quandt war Erbauer eines ersten Goethe-Erinnerungsortes, Gründer des Sächsischen Kunstvereins und Vorkämpfer für eine moderne Gemäldegalerie in Dresden. Er förderte zeitgenössische Künstler und erforschte Alte Meister. Seine Mitbürger wollte er durch Kunst gebildet wissen und trug unermüdlich mit Gesprächen, Artikeln und Ausstellungen dazu bei. Vorliegende Studie beleuchtet die umtriebige Persönlichkeit und ihr Wirken im frühen 19. Jahrhundert. Quandts breites Engagement hinterließ tiefe Spuren im deutschen Kulturleben und gab der jungen Kunstgeschichte wesentliche Impulse. Daher lohnt der Blick in seine Biographie, seine schriftlichen Vermächtnisse, seine private Sammlung mit Werken solch klingender Namen wie Overbeck, Schnorr von Carolsfeld, Friedrich, Botticelli, Fra Angelico und Cranach.

The German lacuna in Edward Said's 'Orientalism' has produced varied studies of German cultural and academic Orientalisms. So far the domains of German politics and scholarship have not been conflated to probe the central power/knowledge nexus of Said's argument. Seeking to fill this gap, the diplomatic career and scholarly-literary productions of the centrally placed Friedrich Rosen serve as a focal point to investigate how politics influenced knowledge generated about the "Orient" and charts the roles knowledge played in political decision-making regarding extra-European regions. This is pursued through analyses of Germans in British imperialist contexts, cultures of lowly diplomatic encounters in Middle Eastern cities, Persian poetry in translation, prestigious Orientalist congresses in northern climes, leveraging knowledge in high-stakes diplomatic encounters, and the making of Germany's Islam policy up to the Great War. Politics drew on bodies of knowledge and could promote or hinder scholarship. Yet, scholars never systemically followed empire in its tracks but sought their own paths to cognition. On their own terms or influenced by "Oriental" savants they aligned with politics or challenged claims to conquest and rule.

Practicing Progress focuses on the German Enlightenment in its dual manifestation as a cultural era and as a mode of discourse. The volume’s unifying theme is the promise and limitations of the Enlightenment, as seen from the twenty-first century. Contributors deal with figures from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries in theology, poetry and drama, economic theory, and music. Included are such powerful critics of the politics of progress as Friedrich Nietzsche, Hannah Arendt, and Bertolt Brecht. The volume is of particular interest to scholars concerned with the complexity of literary phenomena. A variety of interpretive approaches yield fresh insights into the still ongoing project of Enlightenment.
