Buildings

German edition Villa Silberblick where a mentally deranged Friedrich Nietzsche spent the final years of his life, was originally a middle-class home. Nietzsche's sister Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche not only looked after her ill brother but also exploited the cult-like admiration the philosopher enjoyed for her own ends and installed the Nietzsche Archive in the building. Initially very popular amongst Europe's avant-garde later Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche allowed the archive to be instrumentalized by the National Socialists before it became a taboo topic in the GDR. Featuring many colored illustrations, the book relates the turbulent history of a memorial that reflects the ambivalence of modernism.

Mit der zunehmenden Komplexität von Bauprojekten steigt auch die Gefahr, die Projektziele nicht zu erreichen, Termine und kalkulierte Kosten zu überschreiten. Es ist daher wichtig, potenzielle Risiken im Projektablauf zu kennen, zu analysieren und zu minimieren. Mit Strategien und Organisationskonzepten für alle Projektphasen und Handlungsbereiche im Baumanagement schafft das Buch eine sichere Basis für die erfolgreiche Projektabwicklung: Grafiken und Referenzmodelle veranschaulichen übersichtlich die Workflows und Prozesse aller Projektbeteiligten. So ist es möglich, Aktivitäten, Termine und Kosten vorausschauend zu planen, notwendige Arbeitsschritte zu koordinieren und mit allen Beteiligten abzustimmen. Die Autoren mit langjähriger Erfahrung im Projektmanagement beschreiben neben den Grundlagen auch moderne Managementmethoden, auf die in dieser siebten Auflage des Standardwerks etwas ausführlicher eingegangen wird. Weitere Kapitel zu Kommunikation sowie zu integrierter Projektabwicklung ergänzen die Neuauflage. Formulare und Checklisten zum Herunterladen und direkten Bearbeiten vervollständigen das Handbuch und machen es damit zum zentralen Instrument für die Projektsteuerung.

Mass housing and urban planning are a key element in North Korea's material foundation. In the post-war era, the country attempted to socialise all types of living spaces - from small apartment rooms to urban settings - based on political ideology. The idea that North Korea's political forces are brainwashing their people is superficial - as testimonies from many defectors have revealed.By exploring home culture and daily life, this book aims to capture the actual life of North Koreans, who have largely supported the country's unique dictatorial political system. To this end, it uses drawings, maps, and diagrams obtained from various archives. While these are neutral forms of communication, they also convey the actual intentions of North Korean architects and planners hidden behind the deceitful claims of political leaders.· The reconstruction of Pyongyang and Hamh¿ng· Piotr Zaremba and the urban planning of Chongjin· The creation of Kim Il-sung Square in Pyongyang· The emergence of mass housing in Post-War North Korea· The introduction of microdistricts in site planning· Socialisation of rural space in North Korea· The planning of Gwangbok Street New Town in Pyongyang· The development of the housing market

Historic Meetinghouses and Churches of New Hampshire thoroughly documents the history of these unique civic and religious related structures in all areas of the state from Colonial times into the twentieth century.
