In Krisenzeiten: Quo vadis, Architektur? Angetrieben vom Wunsch, angesichts von Krisen bessere Welten zu erschaffen, versuchen Architekt: innen, Gesellschaft, Städte und Wohnformen neu zu denken, die Architektur und ihre Materialität zu erneuern - und prägen damit eine neue Ästhetik. Denn Krisen eröffnen als "Kippmomente" neue Perspektiven: Anhand historischer wie zeitgenössischer Projekte untersucht Susanne Stacher unterschiedliche Strategien in der Architektur. Ansätze aus Wissenschaft und Philosophie (u. a. Pierre-Henri Castel, Hartmut Rosa) ermöglichen es, Vorstellungen von Fortschritt, Wachstum, Natur, Gesellschaft zu hinterfragen, die in den vorgestellten Architekturprojekten sichtbar werden. Das Buch spannt einen weiten historischen Bogen und ist ein Plädoyer, über die Rolle von Architektur und Städtebau in Zeiten ökologischer Krisen nachzudenken. Eine historische und philosophische Betrachtung von Architektur in Krisenzeiten Vom Archaismus über das Streben nach Entschleunigung, Erschaffung durch Zerstörung bis zur Wiederverzauberung der Welt Projekte/Konzepte von Hans Hollein, Ebenezer Howard, Bjarke Ingels, Le Corbusier, Adolf Loos, Paul Otlet, Bernard Rudofsky u. a.

This monograph provides a rigorous, encyclopedic treatment of the fundamental topics in real analysis, functional analysis, and measure theory. The result of many years of the author's careful and extensive work, this text synthesizes and builds upon the existing literature in an effort to develop and solidify the theory of measure-theoretic calculus in abstract spaces. Standard results and proofs are illustrated in general abstract settings under rigorous treatment, and numerous ancillary topics are also covered in detail, such as functional analytic treatment of optimization, probability theory, and the theory of Sobolev spaces. Applied mathematicians and researchers working in control theory, operations research, economics, optimization theory, and many other areas will find this text to be a comprehensive and invaluable resource. It can also serve as an analysis textbook for graduate-level students.
