Just as we turn into animals when we go up to the line, because that is the only thing which brings us through safely, so we turn into wags and loafers when we are resting.

We can do nothing else, it is a sheer necessity.

[...] But our comrades are dead, we cannot help them, they have their rest--and who knows what is waiting for us? We will make ourselves comfortable and sleep, and eat as much as we can stuff into our bellies, and drink and smoke so that hours are not wasted. Life is short.

SMS „Emden“ versenkt die „Diplomat“

Gefürchtet und geachtet Die kurze Geschichte einer weltberühmten Kaperfahrt Ich habe lange überlegt, ob ich zu SMS „Emden“ einen Artikel machen soll, da es wirklich genug Literatur und Verfilmungen über das wahrscheinlich bekannteste Schiff des Ersten Weltkrieges gibt. Nachdem aber Kapitän R. J. Thomson, der die „Fürth“ mit seiner Mannschaft von Colombo nach London überführte, mit seinem Schiff…

Already for centuries the book is a primary means for architects to present their work and ideas about architecture. Accordingly there literally are thousands and thousands of architecture books spanning centuries and styles. In 2016 architect and researcher André Tavares published his fabled book „The Anatomy of the Architectural Book“ with Lars Müller Publishers who have recently published the second edition of the long out of print book.

In line with the book’s title it isn’t a history of the architecture book but an exploration of its anatomy as a reflection of architecture. Beginning with two case studies, namely the 1851 Chrystal Palace exhibition in London and Sigfried Giedion’s „Befreites Wohnen“ from 1929, Tavares showcases how in the first example chromolithography allowed color illustrations and involved the publication in the contemporary discourse about the appropriate use of color in architecture. The second example in turn represents an object in its own right with which Giedion supported his arguments for modern housing.

In part two of the book Tavares dives deeper into the anatomy of the architectural book by analyzing a wealth of books. On basis of the five characteristics texture, surface, rhythm, structure and scale he examines books by the likes of Giovanni Battista da Sangallo, Gottfried Semper, Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, Walter Gropius and Erich Mendelsohn. The latter’s book „Amerika“ from 1926 is one of the examples in the rhythm section: as Tavares explains, Mendelsohn translated his experience of the perceptual dynamism in the USA to the book by organizing the its pages cinematically. This means that he immerses the reader in the American city and its architecture by gradually moving from piercing contrasts to sequences of street views to make the reader aware of its physical qualities.

Although the previous example represents just one of the three methods of organization showcased by the author it demonstrates his in-depth analyses of the architecture book’s development over time. This amalgam of book, architectural and media history makes Tavares’ publication a fantastic read that is highly recommended!

Just a little of a week ago was the anniversary of the Wannsee Confrence. Fifteen men decided the fate of millions. Barely more than a scratch of a pen against paper and people were doomed.

24 Days of La Fayette - The Shadow of Olmütz

Day 1: All the world’s a stage …

As soon as you enter the busy tavern you are met with lively chatter. You exhale, trying to reign your ever rising tension in. If this goes wrong, even attending this meeting can bring you in a potentially deadly predicament. The Austrian government is not known to be kind to those they suspect of sympathizing with French Revolutionaries. You square your shoulders; you have thought about the risks and are willing to take them – your shaking hands be dammed. Your view wanders through the packed room. This is certainly not the finest inn the town has to offer but also not the shabbiest. You spot a group of men sitting together in the far-right corner, seven of them altogether. No, you were told to meet with only two others. On the other side there sits a couple with three young children – a fourth on its way by the looks of the women. You try to further scan your surroundings, as inconspicuous as possible, when someone calls your name. Startled, you turn around. On the table behind you sits Martin Müller, you know him from Church, with his mates. He raises a hand in greeting, and you reciprocate the gesture. Don’t lose your nerves! Suddenly you spot them, two men, both still in their twenties, sitting alone on a table, partially obscured by the bar. You walk over to them, deliberately slow, and take a seat. Both men look up at you and the older one gives you a skeptical look. “We were waiting for a friend to join us”, he informs you. “So was I”, you explain before adding “the fire burns so merrily these days.” An expression of recognition passes over the younger man’s feature after hearing the agreed upon code, and he zealously declares “They say the firewood is imported from Prussia!” You simply nod and allow your glance to wander from one man to the other – you just found your co-conspirators in this endeavor! “I am Francis, Francis Kinloch Huger”, the younger man introduces himself and shakes your hand. You already admire and dread his passion in equal terms. Huger’s father had lodged the Marquis de La Fayette when he first came to America. The son is now a student of medicine in Vienna. “And my name is Justus Erich Bollmann. Pleased to make you acquaintance”, the older, sterner, man introduces himself but does not offer you his hand. You nod again. You know Doctor Bollmann by reputation since he has already served as a messenger for the Marquis’ clandestine notes. You know that he is trustworthy – but now is the time to introduce yourself and show Huger and Bollmann that you are just as trustworthy and dependable as they are!

I am Friedrich Willerich, a physician, just like Bollmann and Huger!

I am Georg Oltmanns, a lawyer in training with some connections to the local officials! (If you choose this option, I might surprise you with a part in Plattdüütsch ;-))

I am Hugo Curie, a French Chaplain, but left my home country many years ago!
