Summary:

Monografie mit Fragestellung Was wäre, wenn Forschung, Wissenschaft und Architektur verschmelzen? LAVA ist ein von Tobias Wallisser, Chris Bosse und Alexander Rieck gegründetes Architekturbüro mit Standorten in Deutschland, Vietnam und Australien. Der für die Expo 20 entworfene Deutsche Pavillon ist ein Beispiel für die Eloquenz, mit der LAVA auf die Fragen der Zeit reagiert. Die 3 Kernthemen des Buches – Stadt der Zukunft, Biodiversität, Energie und Nachhaltigkeit – werden um die Disziplinen „Connecting Minds“, gemeint ist soziale und politische Architektur, „Digitale Prozesse und Technologien“ und „New Work“ ergänzt und innerhalb dieses Buches in 6 Kapiteln erforscht. Neben Projekten und deren Herleitung führen Denker:innen aus Architektur und Gesellschaft ihre Positionen in diesen Gebieten weiter aus – kreativ, spekulativ und nachdenklich. Themenfelder: City – Energy – Biodiversity – Connecting – Work – Digital Processes Ausgewählte Projekte als Case Studies Texte u. a. von Amy Frearson, Georg Vrachliotis, Giovanna Carnevali, Maria Aiolova, Gilles Retsin, André Wilkens, Marjan Colletti und Raoul Bunschoten

Monograph questioning What if research, science and architecture were merged? LAVA is an architecture studio founded by Tobias Wallisser, Chris Bosse, and Alexander Rieck with offices in Germany, Vietnam, and Australia. The German Pavilion for Expo 20 is an example of the eloquence with which LAVA responds to issues of the day. The three core themes of the book – Cities of the Future, Biodiversity, as well as Energy and Sustainability – are complemented by the subjects “Connecting Minds,” meaning social and political architecture, “Digital Processes and Technologies,” and “New Work” and explored together throughout the six chapters of this book. In addition to projects and their derivation, architectural and sociological thinkers elaborate on their ideas on these topics – creatively, speculatively, and thoughtfully. Themes: City – Energy – Biodiversity – Connecting – Work – Digital Processes Selected projects as case studies With contributions by Amy Frearson, Georg Vrachliotis, Giovanna Carnevali, Maria Aiolova, Gilles Retsin, André Wilkens, Marjan Colletti, and Raoul Bunschoten
