Цитата. «Сегодня, пожалуй, как никогда прежде неравнодушные граждане мира стремятся понять, как работает пространство, и даже сделать что-то для его улучшения. Отчасти это связано с осознанием того, что мы стоим на пороге грандиозных перемен. Урбанизация, перенаселение, изменение климата, сдвиги в энергетическом балансе планеты—все это побуждает нас пересматривать принципы обустройства среды обитания и искать способы организовать ее так, чтобы она помогала нам не только выжить, но и сохранить психическое здоровье».

Wir arbeiten in ihnen, spazieren über sie und fahren durch sie hindurch: Dass Hochhäuser dem Sturm trotzen, Brücken und Tunnel dem Verkehr und der Schwerkraft standhalten, ist jedoch nicht selbstverständlich, sondern fast ein Wunder - und der Kunst der Ingenieure zu verdanken. Roma Agrawal, die Westeuropas zweithöchsten Wolkenkratzer plante, weiht uns ein in die Geheimnisse der Statik. Auf ihrer Reise durch die Geschichte der Gebäude erzählt Agrawal, wie Materialien Bauweisen revolutionierten und warum die wichtigste Errungenschaft des Römischen Reichs der Ziegelstein war.

"Das Bild der Kathedrale Notre Dame in Flammen ergriff und schockierte mich zutiefst. Ein Vermächtnis von unschätzbarem Wert lag vor unseren Augen im Sterben. Es war beängstigend und ich hatte das Gefühl, der Boden unter unseren Füßen hätte begonnen zu beben." So äußert sich der große Schriftsteller nach dem tragischen Brand, der die Kathedrale Notre-Dame am Abend des 15. April 2019 verwüstet hat. In seinem berühmtesten Roman, Die Säulen der Erde, beschrieb Ken Follett ausführlich die Verbrennung der Kingsbridge-Cathedral fast wie eine Vorahnung dessen, was in Paris geschehen ist.

While the grandiosity of Fallingwater and elegance of Taliesin are recognized universally, Frank Lloyd Wright’s first foray into affordable housing is frequently overlooked. Although Wright began work on his American System-Built Homes (ASBH, 1911–17) with great energy, the project fell apart following wartime shortages and disputes between the architect and his developer. While continuing to advocate for the design of affordable small homes, Wright never spoke publicly of ASBH. As a result, the heritage of many Wright-designed homes was forgotten.

In Mind in Motion, psychologist Barbara Tversky shows that spatial cognition isn't just a peripheral aspect of thought, but its very foundation, enabling us to draw meaning from our bodies and their actions in the world. Our actions in real space get turned into mental actions on thought, often spouting spontaneously from our bodies as gestures. Spatial thinking underlies creating and using maps, assembling furniture, devising football strategies, designing airports, understanding the flow of people, traffic, water, and ideas.

He engineered the perfect placement of brick and stone, built ingenious hoists and cranes to carry an estimated 70 million pounds hundreds of feet into the air, and designed the workers' platforms and routines so carefully that only one man died during the decades of construction.
