Plants are among the most important materials for effective landscape design. Yet the fundamentals of plant biology and growth; their morphology, color, and functional assets; and details such as planting, pruning techniques, and maintenance practices are surprisingly absent from our education and training, which tend to focus on other core principles like drainage, grading, and spatial relationships.

»Also muss die Wahrnehmung eine instinktive Fähigkeit der Seele sein, basierend auf einer profunden und essentiellen Geometrie, jener Geometrie, die sich aus den einfachen Teilungen eines Kreises ableitet. All das hatte er schon seit langem für wahr gehalten. Nun machte es sich daran, den kurzen Schritt zur Fusion von Symbol und Objekt zu tun. Der Kreis ist der Träger der reinen Harmonien, reine Harmonien wohnen der Seele inne, also sind Seele und Kreis eins.« aus Kepler von John Banville

Wie verändern digitale, lernende Technologien unsere Arbeit, unser Zusammenleben und unsere Möglichkeiten der Selbstbestimmung? Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) ist längst nicht mehr nur ein Thema der Science-Fiction. In unser aller Alltag steckt mehr KI, als es vielen bewusst ist: in Sprachassistenten und Navigationssystemen, auf Social-Media-Plattformen und Streamingdiensten, in Verwaltungsabläufen und Überwachungstechnologien.

Why urban design is larger than architecture: the foundational qualities of urban design, examples and practitioners
Urban design in practice is incremental, but architects imagine it as scaled-up architecture—large, ready-to-build pop-up cities. This paradox of urban design is rarely addressed; indeed, urban design as a discipline lacks a theoretical foundation.

Neben der Realisierung von permanenten künstlerischen Gestaltungen in den öffentlichen Bereichen des Klagenfurter Lakeside Science & Technology Parks sowie der Umsetzung von temporären Projekten wurde der von Josef Dabernig entworfene und eingerichtete Kunstraum Lakeside zum Zentrum einer kontinuierlichen künstlerischen und diskursiven Programmierung.

This publication picks up on several of the themes which emerge conceptually and artistically in the Central Asian Pavilion project, and elaborates them in a philosophical, historical and poetic register within the specific materiality and temporality of a book—though the website as a repository and forum for these kinds of explorations should be mentioned as well—with its capacity to extend the time, space and context of

The 208 pages of ERB Issue Two are bursting with essays, reviews, reportage, interview, photography and experiment by writers from all over Europe — and beyond. It is a reading experience unto itself, designed like nothing else. The ERB’s print designer, Patrick Doan, gave the magazine a distinctive, layered form. TURN the pages to read, but CUT the pages — easily done with a finger — to open a second layer, where you’ll find shorter essays, asides, and the occasional language game. Issue Two features resurrected darlings, psychic detectives, lyrical slang, Chinese palindromes and to every reader their own Dichter und Denker. Discover Europe’s new république des lettres.

These photos were either lost, forgotten or thrown away. The images now are nameless, without connection to the people they show, or the photographer who took them. "My Queer History " wants to be the home for lost photos – a resting place for the nameless and lost.

'Queer' is an inclusive term, encompassing the complex experiences of sexuality and gender diversity across history. In the past, 'queer' has been used as a term of derision, but many today have reclaimed the term to capture the complexity of gender and sexuality.

A discreet, yet unapologetic, feminist reading of the past and present with a particular focus on deconstructing inherited notions of identity and gender. It seeks to examine the impact these have had on contemporary relational modalities in order to find new capacities to dissect the resulting interpersonal dynamics. There is a wish to pause automatisms that suffocate the mind.

Here live the near-blind. In their eyes the city dwells like aureoles on suckling lips. Here they apprehend the city with knowledge viscous and immediate. And here they also live uneasily, for tranquillity is found only in pictures they are disinclined to make.
In essays, letters and aphorisms, this book makes near-blindness tangible as one condition of living in. protracted war.

“Calls for more Blackness in architecture schools can be simplistic,” writes architect Darell Wayne Fields, guest editor of Log 57. Well-meaning equity and inclusion programs often simply “associate the mere presence of Black bodies with institutional change.” In Log 57, a 208-page thematic issue titled Black is . . . an’ Black ain’t . . ., 29 authors explore the complexities of Blackness as it relates to aesthetics and architectural pedagogy. As Fields notes, “In calling for more Blackness, I, for one, am calling for more Black methodology. An inherent characteristic of [which] is a measurement of difference.”

Since 1953, the Kulturkreis der deutschen Wirtschaft im BDI e. V. has awarded the ars viva Prize to young artists living in Germany. This year, it goes to Anna-Sophie Berger (1989), Oscar Enberg (1988), and Zac Langdon-Pole (*1988).

Heimo Zobernig’s contribution to the Venice Biennial responds directly to the existing exhibition situation in the Austrian Pavilion, built in 1934 based on plans by Josef Hoffmann and Robert Kramreiter. The Pavilion’s structure, with its rounded classical arches and majestic visual axes, on the one hand, and clear, rational forms and modern construction materials, on the other, moves between the poles of historicism and modernism. At the same time, Zobernig’s intervention connects inside and outside, to create an enclosed site where one can linger and reflect on human presence in space.

In meinem Doktoratsprojekt „Crip Modes of Artistic Research“ erforsche ich soziale Bewegungen um „Behinderung“ in wechselnden historischen Räumen. Ziel ist es, alternative Erzählungen, Strategien der Aneignung und Verbindunglinien mit u.a. künstlerischen Mitteln aufzuzeigen. Die Arbeit verfolgt einen transdisziplinären Ansatz, der sich aus künstlerischer Perspektive den „Disability Studies“ nähert und sozialgeschichtliche, theoretische Bezüge herstellt. Es bringt diskursive Medien, Räume und Formate hervor, darunter eine regelmäßig veröffentlichte Zeitschrift (Crip Magazine) sowie andere künstlerische Formate.

2017 begann das Künstlerkollektiv Triple Candie (Shelly Bancroft und Peter Nesbett) mit der Arbeit an einem vielschichtigen Forschungsprojekt, im Zuge dessen sie die Werke und Methodologien des amerikanischen Künstlers Michael Asher (1943–2012) untersuchten. In diesem performativen Projekt unternahmen sie den Versuch, die verlorenen, experimentellen Potenzialitäten von Ashers situationellen Kunstwerken wiederaufleben zu lassen. Dafür führten die KünstlerInnen profunde

Der situationistische Philosoph und Filmemacher Guy Debord (1931–1994) folgte in seinen Filmen stets dem Vorsatz, nichts zu tun, was man in Filmen machte, und alles zu tun, was man dort nicht machte. Die Filme, die er zwischen 1952 und 1978 schuf, spiegeln diesen Plan auf einzigartige Weise wider. Seine Drehbücher und Szenarien sind nicht weniger radikal als diese selbst. Erstmals werden die Texte aller Filme

The catalog was developed in close collaboration with the artist. It examines Atkins' practice in the context of contemporary art, literature and digital representation, and explores how the artist uses the displacement of language and script as well as music, voice and sound. Through videos, texts and drawings, the artist develops a multi-layered and deeply figurative discourse. The impossibility of an adequate representation of the physical, especially the corporeal - from computer-generated visual vocabulary to the most hackneyed poetry - is

Daily Weeding depicts Kuba Ryniewicz's everyday life in Newcastle. The British photographer of Polish origins gives us a glimpse into a number of intimate and public moments spent with his husband and closest friends, set against the familiar backdrop of his home and surrounding fields, sharing them with both poetry and humor. His photos are enhanced by a moving work of literary fiction written by playwright and novelist Yelena Moskovich and a postscript written by James Tait Black Memorial Prize winner Olivia Laing.

Like a mighty river that flows and deviates from its course, this publication invites us on a journey to decipher the hidden predatory logic within the mechanisms of gold mining exploitation and the resulting socio-ecological devastation in the Guayana and Venezuela’s Amazon regions. More than a warning, What the Mine Gives, the Mine Takes presents a collective and sensitive cartography of this mining conflict through a diversity of art projects, poems, essays, diagrams, satellite visions, and documentary images.

Foreign words, paper, photos, colors, ashes, organic matter: two artists mix images and texts – shapes and words. Animals and humans meet, undergo metamorphoses and establish strange connections, as elastic and intimate as membranes.

„Wie ein Hund!“ sagte er, es war, als sollte die Scham ihn überleben. Mit diesem Satz beendet Franz Kafka seinen Roman „Der Prozess“ und benennt ein zentrales Thema seines Schaffens: Die Scham. Sie und viele andere mit dem Werk Kafkas verbundene Themen haben den Schriftsteller tatsächlich überlebt und als „kafkaesk“ eine allgemeingültige und immerwährende Eigenständigkeit erlangt.
