Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Ab 1946 siedelte sich der Berliner Siemenskonzern in Erlangen an. Die Bürobauten von Siemens schufen die Architekten Hans Hertlein, Walter Henn und Hans Maurer. Der für die Mitarbeiter erforderliche Geschosswohnungsbau trägt die klare Handschrift von qualitätvollen Siedlungsplanungen aus der Nachkriegszeit. Innerhalb weniger Jahre entstanden mehr als 20.000 Wohnungen. Neben der Industrie entwickelte sich auch die Universität rasch weiter. Die Bauten des theologischen Seminars, der juristischen Fakultät und das philosophische Seminargebäude in der Kochstraße stehen beispielhaft für die 1950er- und 1960er-Jahre. Die "Philosophentürme" des staatlichen Bauamts auf dem selben Campus sind hervorragende Beispiele des "Beton Brut". Im Herzen der Stadt entwarfen Sep Ruf das Vereinsbankgebäude sowie Werner Wirsing das Jugendzentrum. Ab 1967 verlagerte sich das Zentrum der Stadt nach Süden zum Ensemble von Rathaus und dem "Neuen Markt" von Harald Loebermann. In neuen Stadtteilen entstanden Kirchenbauten von Gustav Gsänger und Paul Becker.

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- In the second half of the 19th century, new methods for quarrying and processing natural stone were developed. In the Nordic countries Sweden, Norway, and Finland, this technological progress went hand in hand with a systematic geological mapping and large-scale exploitation of natural stone deposits. As a result, new constructions were developed, changing the building practice in these countries. With the end of historicism, a new architecture arose that, particularly in Norway and Finland, acquired a national-romantic character. This paper examines the interaction between geological exploration, commercial development, technical inventions, and the development of national-romantic architecture.

Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Since Gunnar Asplund completed the extension of the Gothenburg City Hall 77 years ago, it has been subject to criticism. To this day an endless controversy has been smoldering. But meanwhile the dispute revolves around the restoration that was completed recently.

Akzeptiere. Das Buch und seine Geschichte. Deutsche Übersetzung mit Einleitung und Kommentar

Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The »Stockholm Exhibition 1930 of Arts and Crafts and Home Industries« (›Stockholmsutställningen 1930 av konstindustri, konsthantverk och hemslöjd‹) and the Acceptera-manifesto, published the following year by the exhibition organizers – Gunnar Asplund, Wolter Gahn, Sven Markelius, Gregor Paulsson, Eskil Sundahl und Uno Åhrén – mark the breakthrough of Modern Architecture in Sweden as well as in the other Nordic countries. In Acceptera(›Accept‹) the authors promote, under the term »Functionalism«, or »Funkis«, a modernisation of architecture, urban planning and the arts and crafts, which is the product of inevitable progress and which has to be »accepted« — thus the title of the book. In subsequent years this functionalism develops into an equally aesthetic and political programme for the restructuring of Sweden to a »folkhem« (literally ›a people’s home‹), the term symbolising Sweden’s welfare state. This book makes the text of the Acceptera-Manifesto accessible to the interested reader in German for the first time. In addition, the history of the book is investigated: the various movements and developments that contribute to the Stockholm exhibition and the publication of Accepteraare examined; the reception and impact of the book are also taken into account. Finally, this edition is extensively annotated and its design follows the Swedish original from 1931 as it constitutes an integral part of the book.

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- In the nordic countries a wave of modernization, industrialization and urbanization comes up in the second half of the 19th century which catapults the hitherto backwards and rural countries on Europe’s periphery into the modern age. However, these great upheavals also plunge the countries in a deep social and cultural crisis resulting from an awareness of backwardness compared to the countries on the european continent as well as from the insight that a nostalgic nationalism that appeals back to a mythical past has become obsolete in the industrial age and is no longer sufficient as foundation for a cultural identity. In response to this crisis, a life reform movement emerges that is based on the arts & crafts movement as well as various artistic and literary reform movements and – equally absorbing rural traditions and progressive social ideas – tries to establish a new national everyday culture.In this essay, the two key terms coined by Ellen Key, »celebration habits« (›festvanor‹) and »everyday beauty« (›vardagsskönhet«) – the programmatic core of the nordic life reform movement – are analysed and illustrated in various typical manifestations, such as the artists’ banquet or the celebration ritual. It also examines to what extent the nordic life reform movement with these two core terms finds an expression in painting, arts & crafts and architecture in the late 19th and early 20th century and fulfills its promise of social and cultural renewal.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In the second half of the 19th century new methods for mining and processing natural stone are developed — parallel to the mechanization of brick production and the emergence of concrete structures.A number of technological innovations, such as the bandsaw (1854) or the use of power machines and explosives (from the 1860s and 1880s on) facilitate the previously laborious mining of hard natural stones.In the Nordic countries Sweden, Norway and Finland this technological progress is accompanied from the mid-19th century on by systematic geological exploration and in the 1880s by large-scale commercial developments.As a result of this enthusiasm for natural stone new types of constructions are developed and – in the course of breaking away from historicism – a new architectural language .In Sweden, this is new architectural language called »material realism«. In Norway and Finland this is the start of a new national architecture, fueled by the struggle for independence and intended as a means to assert the countries’ cultural identity.The goal of this paper is to outline the interaction between geological exploration, technological inventions, the development of new structures as well as the emergence of a new national romantic architecture.
