Auschwitz, 1270 to the Present
Author: Deborah DworkPublisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 9780393039337
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 488
Book Description
Auschwitz, 1270 to the Present elucidates how the prewar ordinary town of Auschwitz became Germany's most lethal killing site step by step and in stages: a transformation wrought by human beings, mostly German and mostly male. Who were the men who conceived, created, and constructed the killing facility? What were they thinking as they inched their way to iniquity? Using the hundreds of architectural plans for the camp that the Germans, in their haste, forgot to destroy, as well as blueprints and papers in municipal, provincial, and federal archives, Deborah Dwork and Robert Jan van Pelt show that the town of Auschwitz and the camp of that name were the centerpiece of Himmler's ambitious project to recover the German legacy of the Teutonic Knights and Frederick the Great in Nazi-ruled Poland. Analyzing the close ties between the 700-year history of the town and the five-year evolution of the concentration camp in its suburbs, Dwork and van Pelt offer an absolutely new and compelling interpretation of the origins and development of the death camp at Auschwitz. And drawing on oral histories of survivors, memoirs, depositions, and diaries, the authors explore the ever more murderous impact of these changes on the inmates' daily lives.

Book Description
Das eigene Haus mit Garten ist der Traum vieler Menschen. Obgleich Flächenfraß und Ressourcenverbrauch kritisiert werden, gilt das Eigenheim im Grünen als Versprechen für Freiraum und ein Leben nach den persönlichen Vorstellungen. Die meisten Häuser werden jedoch ohne Mitwirken eines Architekten erbaut, wovon die misslich zersiedelten Ortsränder zeugen. In diesem Buch werden 26 vorbildhafte Einfamilienhäuser von der Organisation des Grundrisses bis zum konstruktiven Detail vorgestellt. Dabei wird aufgezeigt, wie das Haus in sein Umfeld eingebettet ist, wie regionale Bautraditionen neu interpretiert und Materialien auf ungewohnte Weise eingesetzt werden oder wie Erweiterungen und Sanierungen dazu beitragen, heutigen ökonomischen und ökologischen Wohnanforderungen gerecht zu werden.
Single Family Houses
Author: Christian SchittichPublisher: Walter de Gruyter
ISBN: 3034615175
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
The private single family house is still very much the preferred choice of home. Yet in recent years there have been many changes not only in the personal situations of the residents, their expectations and desires, but also in the rising costs of energy and raw materials. This has meant that issues such as multi-functionalism, the use of innovative building materials or energy-efficient building methods are increasing in significance. In this completely revised and expanded second edition these topical developments have been taken into consideration. The organisation and layout of the first volume, with its concise and detailed project documentation, has been retained. The authors introduce floor plan solutions using contemporary projects which bear in mind changing family structures. At the same time, the contributions provide an in-depth introduction to planning single family houses, from the design of the floor plan to useful tips for the realisation. In addition to this fundamental information, 22 projects are documented, providing ideas and inspiration for planners, students and clients. The international selection of projects highlights current trends in planning and designing single family housing and reveals the tried and tested basics.
Empires in World War I

Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
Soon after the guns in Belgium and France had signalled the commencement of what would become the world's single most destructive conflict to date, the British, Ottoman, German, Russian, Austro-Hungarian, French and Belgian Empires were at war. Empires in World War I marks a turn away from the pre-eminence of the Western Front in the current scholarship, and seeks to reconstitute our understanding of this war as a truly global struggle between competing empires. Based on primary research, this book opens up new debates on the effects of the Great War in colonial arenas. The book assesses the effects of the war on Native Americans in the United States for example, as well as on the relationship between India and Pakistan, the British justice system in Palestine and the 'imperial scramble' in the Asia-Pacific region. Empires in World War I will be essential reading for students and scholars of the twentieth century.
