Designing Processes
Wie machen wir das Bauen nachhaltig und zukunftsfähig? Das Buch präsentiert eine Strategie zur Bewältigung der Zukunftsaufgaben der Baubranche aus der Perspektive des organisierenden Architekten und mit Blick auf das transdisziplinär integrierbare Wissen verwandter Disziplinen. Mit profundem Einblick in die operativen Vorgänge analysiert der Autor die komplexen gesamtgesellschaftlichen Systemzusammenhänge, die oft althergebrachten Prozessstrukturen folgen. Er beleuchtet die Wechselbeziehungen zwischen den Handlungsmustern der Baubeteiligten und den Rahmenbedingungen und entwickelt daraus eine Strategie, die – selbst ein Prozess – einen künftigen Soll-Zustand entwirft.
Religious Transformation in Modern Asia
This volume explores the religious transformation of each nation in modern Asia. When the Asian people, who were not only diverse in culture and history, but also active in performing local traditions and religions, experienced a socio-political change under the wave of Western colonialism, the religious climate was also altered from a transnational perspective.
