This book is another high-calibre volume in IMAGES’ acclaimed Master Architect Series of monographs. The Architecture of Adrian Smith, SOM: Toward a Sustainable Future showcases a body of work that has made a significant contribution to contemporary world architecture. Adrian Smith has brought design solutions with enduring value to the entire planet. He’s designed buildings in China, England, Germany, Brazil, Kuwait, Canada, Korea, Guatemala, Bahrain, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Dubai and the United States. His expertise covers areas as broad as operations, marketing, finance, and professional services. He is truly one of the few architectural polymaths, a person who has a great diversity of skills and immense intellect.

He is passionate about (and celebrates) well- designed buildings of all shapes and sizes, and has earned accolades for designing the tallest building in the world. Some of Smith’s most renowned works include Banco De Occidente, United Gulf Bank, Rowes Wharf, 10 Ludgate, Jin Mao Tower, Burj Dubai, and Pearl River. When it comes to important buildings, Adrian Smith and SOM have provided us a beacon by which to steer.

Die meisten Gebäude, die in den nächsten Jahrzehnten in Europa benötigt werden, sind längst gebaut. Die Bauaufgaben der Zukunft liegen in der geschickten (Um-)Nutzung und Veränderung von Bestehendem, ob bei der Sanierung von Altstädten, beim Anbau an Wohnhäuser, bei der Erweiterung öffentlicher Gebäude oder der Umnutzung ganzer Fabrikareale. Das Bauen im Bestand erfordert spezifische Vorgehensweisen bei Planung, Bauausführung und Umsetzung. Die Bandbreite reicht dabei vom Arbeiten mit den Vorgaben des Denkmalschutzes, dem behutsamen Sanieren, bis hin zum vollständigen Überformen des Vorgefundenen. Neben der ästhetischen Transformation spielen auch technische Aspekte wie die energetische Ertüchtigung oder der Umgang mit kontaminierten Baustoffen eine wichtige Rolle. Das Buch liefert einen umfassenden Überblick über architektonische Strategien des „Weiterbauens". Es präsentiert intelligente Ideen und Konzepte für den Umgang mit dem Bestand und gliedert diese entsprechend der gewählten Herangehensweise in drei Kategorien: Addition, Transformation oder Umnutzung. Vorgestellt werden alltägliche Projekte wie die Revitalisierung von Bauten der Fünfziger bis Siebziger Jahre, etwa die von Adrian Streich Architekten sanierte Siedlung Heuried in Zürich, aber auch besondere Beispiele wie die Freiluftbibliothek aus recycelten Elementen einer Kaufhausfassade in Magdeburg-Salbke von Karo* Architekten. Interviews mit Experten liefern hilfreiche Hintergrundinformationen zu ausgewählten Themen.

All eyes are currently on Turkey with Istanbul's status as European Capital of Culture 2010. It makes it a pertinent moment to take stock and to look at Turkey's past, present and future, bringing the nation's cultural renaissance and evolution to the fore internationally. Since the early 2000s, Turkey has undergone a remarkable economic recovery, which has been accompanied by urban development and a cultural flowering. Positioned between an expanding European Union and an unstable Middle East, the country provides a fascinating interface between the Occident and the Orient. Taking into account the current political concerns with consolidating Eastern and Western cultures, Turkey is poised at a vital global crossroads: Tackles aspects of globalisation and the potential threat that a rapid rolling out of an overly homogenised built environment poses to rich local building traditions that are founded on specific, climatic, knowledge and cultural diversity. Provides an analytical approach that highlights specific aspects of Turkey's rich heritage and current design culture. Features work by established and emerging design practices in Turkey. Contributors include Tevfik BalcIoglu, Gülsüm Baydar, Edhem Eldem, Tolga islam, Zeynep Kezer, Ugur Tanyeli, ilhan Tekeli and Banu Tomruk.
