The Prototype Laboratory initiated and maintained by the Chair of Product Development at the Faculty of Architecture, TU Delft, has set an example in architectural education for hands-on 'learning-by-making' for students. According to the authors of this book, in the current curriculums time spent on practical work is not rewarded and students are educated in an abstract concept of architecture, not getting a proper feeling for materialization. A semester of designing, engineering, producing and building a prototype with their own hands after their own design often gives students a boost in their education. The Delft Prototype laboratory was the base of around 1,000 students, now professionals. Some architect's offices make prototypes regularly as their designs are quite experimental and require more insight for the designing architect, before the realization of his building. Prototypes of technical components are often developed parallel to the building process.The Prototype Laboratory at the Faculty of Architecture was supervised for almost 18 years by Peter van Swieten. He describes his experiences in this book, in collaboration with the initiator, professor Mick Eekhout. Marcel Bilow took over the Bucky Lab, as it is called, from 2012 onwards.

Kann Design zur Lösung globaler Probleme wie Klimawandel, Ressourcenverknappung und Bevölkerungswachstum beitragen?„Transformation Design“ sucht nach neuen Wegen für die Veränderung unserer Verhaltensweisen und der Gesellschaft durch neue Formen der Innovation. Der bestehende nutzerorientierte Ansatz des Designs muss deshalb zu einem gesellschaftsorientierten Ansatz erweitert werden. Das Konzept der Transformation geht auf den Anthropologen Karl Paul Polanyi und sein Buch The Great Transfomation (1944) zurück, in dem die Entstehung der mittlerweile nahezu unangefochtenen und global verbreiteten westlichen Marktlogik beschrieben wird: die Transformation von Gesellschaften mit Märkten in Marktgesellschaften bezeichnet er als „Entbettung der Märkte“. Inzwischen beziehen sich führende Think-Tanks auf Polanyi. Sie fordern einen neuen Gesellschaftsvertrag und die „Wiedereinbettung“ des Marktes in die Gesellschaft. Was sind die Potenziale, Instrumente und Beiträge des Designs für diese neue „Große Transformation“? Die Vielfalt der vorgestellten Fragen, Antworten, Theorien, Methoden, Ideen und Projekte lässt vermuten, dass „Transformation Design“ zwar keine eigene Disziplin sein, aber zu einem fruchtbaren Diskurs führen wird. Das Buch versucht eine erste Positionierung dieser ehrgeizigen ethischen Haltung im Design. Und es will die internationale Diskussion beflügeln, das Projekt eines verantwortlichen Designs voranzutreiben. “Transformation design” is looking for new ways to change our behavior and society through new forms of innovation. The existing user-oriented approach of design must therefore be extended to one that is society-oriented. The concept of transformation is based on the anthropologist Karl Paul Polanyi and his book The Great Transformation (1944), which described the emergence of the now almost undisputed and globally widespread western market logic: the transformation of societies with markets into market societies, which he calls “dislodgment of the markets”. Meanwhile, leading think tanks are referring to Polanyi. They are calling for a new social contract and the “re-embedding” of the market into society. What are the possible instruments and contributions of design for this new “Great Transformation”? The variety of the above questions, answers, theories, methods, ideas, and projects suggests that “transformation design” is not in fact a discipline in itself, but that it will lead to a fruitful discourse. The book attempts to form an initial position in terms of this ambitious and ethical design perspective. It also seeks to inspire the international debate to push for a project of responsible design.

Public service authorities are required to solicit bids for architectural and engineering services. This work helps to structure the bidding process. It offers procedural recommendations, discusses options for awarding contracts when specific thresholds have not been met by bids, makes specific suggestions for coordinating bidding with the planning process, and presents typical problems that arise in architectural and engineering contracts. Öffentliche Auftraggeber sind regelmäßig verpflichtet, Planungsleistungen förmlich auszuschreiben. Dieses Werk bringt Struktur in das Vergabeverfahren, und zwar sowohl im Unter- wie auch im Oberschwellenbereich. Es werden Ablaufempfehlungen gegeben, Gestaltungsspielräume zur Durchführung von Unterschwellenverfahren erläutert, konkrete Empfehlungen zu Planungsprozessen und zur Durchführung eines darauf abgestimmten Verhandlungsverfahrens gegeben. Es werden Besonderheiten erläutert, die für Sektorenauftraggeber bestehen und für Auftraggeber, die im Bereich der Verteidigung und Sicherheit tätig sind. Das Werk gibt eine konkrete Empfehlung zur Gestaltung von Architekten- und Ingenieurverträgen, deren Abschluss am Ende des Verhandlungsprozesses steht.
