This reader’s first visit to Israel was in 2012, for a program evaluation at an Israeli university. In the course of that visit I spent a day in Jerusalem. It was unforgettable. I had known people of all three monotheistic traditions, but had never seen a place where they all converge and diverge in such fervent sensorial splendor. Hearing the church bells and the call to prayer at the same time was simply moving. It was also a tangible and explicit introduction to the complex intercultural h...

Abstract The primacy of sunlight over shade is a relatively recent historical phenomenon in Australian architecture. In this paper, it is argued that shade was a priority for northern Australian settlers in the state of Queensland and evident in their architecture until the 1920s when ideas about thermal comfort, race and climate elevated the desirability of sun exposure. This paper considers the cross-cultural exchange of colonial shade and the increasing avoidance of sun exposure linked to European beliefs about human health, derived from the field of tropical medicine and evidenced by northern Australian clothing styles and the Queensland house. Later sections consider the social and cultural underpinnings of a Modernist shift in architecture prioritizing sun exposure over deep shade. Finally, the paper will consider a refocus on shade provision since the 1990s, linked to rising rates of preventable skin cancer.

Thermal comfort is the preoccupation of many building scientists, but it is something that architects and architectural historians seldom explore. For designers, the fact that comfort is an environmental attribute related to physical and psychological experience, expected to go unnoticed in the modern world, means that it is often taken for granted. Shouldn’t this taken-for-grantedness stir the curiosity of architectural historians? Don’t critical architectural historians share a tradition of...

On June 5, 2007, Jean Prouve’s maison tropicale was sold at Christie’s in New York for 4.96 million US dollars. This staggering amount corresponds to Prouve’s status and the exceptional character of this “designer object.” The collector who seeks to stand out can no longer settle for a piece of furniture or a door panel; only an iconic, unique object, with an exotic edge, will attract notice.

2007年6月5日，Jean Prouve的“热带之家”(maison tropicale)在纽约佳士得拍卖行以496万美元成交。这个惊人的数量与Prouve的地位和这个“设计师对象”的特殊特征相对应。想要脱颖而出的收藏家不能再满足于一件家具或一块门板;只有一个标志性的、独特的、带有异国情调的物体才会吸引人们的注意。热带住宅的附加价值确实在于“协同机制de l 'ensemble”(Graf, p…

Zusammenfassung Ausgangspunkt des Artikels stellt eine ausgewahlte Fotografie, die ein Fragment einer Ausstellung uber die so genannte "Tropen-" oder "Kolonialtechnik" aus dem Jahr 1934 zeigt, die im Rahmen der Fruhjahrsmesse in Leipzig stattfand. Diese besondere Bildquelle dient hier als Ausgangspunkt fur eine Reflexion uber die Besonderheiten des deutschen Diskurses uber das Bauen in den Tropen. Dieser Diskurs begann wahrend der deutschen Kolonialzeit, endete aber, wie mehrere Archivdokumente und Publikationen aus den 1920er, 1930er und fruhen 1940er Jahren belegen, nicht mit dem Versailler Vertrag von 1919 und dem Verlust der deutschen Kolonien. Eine solche Kontinuitat der deutschen Expertise ist in der internationalen Wissenschaft bisher ubersehen worden, insbesondere im Bereich der Architektur und des Stadtebaus fur die Tropen. In diesem Artikel werden im Zusammenhang mit dem Foto "Weitblicke" auf die Reihe diverser Forschungsfragen angeboten Abgesehen von der Verbindung zu den kolonialen Ambitionen der Zeit konnte die in dieser Quelle evozierte Leipziger Messe von 1934 gleichzeitig auch mit dem unternehmerischen Denken der Zeit in Verbindung gebracht werden. Sie zeugt von einem sichtbaren Interesse kleinerer, spezialisierter Unternehmen an der besonderen Typologie einer Tropenunterkunft, dem so genannten Tropenhaus, einer Domane des Bauens, die grosere Generalunternehmer aus dem deutschen Baugeschaft offenbar nicht beschaftigt hat. Schlieslich lasst sich diese besondere Aufnahme mit Diskussionen uber Baustoffe fur den Einsatz in tropischen Klimazonen verbinden.
