Energy Atlas
Future Concept Renewable Wilhelmsburg

Global climate change calls for rapid and decisive measures, particularly from the world’s metropolises—the future of our climate will be decided in cities! But how can cities forge a path to a post-fossil fuel, post-atomic energy era, to ensure that urgently needed steps are put into practice? The ENERGY ATLAS takes the example of Hamburg’s Wilhelmsburg district to examine developments in future energy requirements. This book presents potential for saving energy, increasing efficiency and using renewable energies, as well as strategic steps for optimising energy supply. The analytical methods used here form the basis for urban action strategies, which can be applied more generally, demonstrating how cities in particular can become the pioneers of climate protection and resource conservation.

Kreativität trifft Stadt - Zum Verhältnis von Kunst, Kultur und Stadtentwicklung 

It has become commonplace for art and culture to play a distinctive role in the context of international building exhibitions. With the objective of reaching a well-balanced and sustainable handling of art, culture and creativity, the IBA Hamburg has decided to test unconventional, open-ended formats. With its project „Creative Quarter Elbinsel“, the IBA Hamburg aims to support and establish artistic and creative structures on the Elbe islands that will continue to exist even after the IBA timeframe. This publication shows concrete projects and results while also pointing out ways of looking at problems within the continued development of the „Creative Quarter Elbinsel“ in the period 2008–2010. In doing so, it not only showcases projects that have been developed in the last few years, but also allows experts to present thought-provoking contributions that critically question the theoretical and strategic alignment of the IBA concept with respect to its structural efficacy and vis-a-vis similar formats.

Netzwerk „IBA meets IBA“
Zur Zukunft Internationaler Bauausstellungen

International Building Exhibitions (IBA) have been in existence in Germany for over one hundred years. They therefore constitute a fixed element of urban development, always delivering innovative responses to the pressing issues of dwelling, building, and urban planning of their respective eras. Yet what characterises an IBA? What have preceding IBAs actually achieved? And how can this long tradition be built upon in the future? These matters were intensely debated during the “IBA meets IBA” forum documented here. They have demonstrated that: “IBA needs IBA”—debate on the future of International Building Exhibitions is enriching and provides an indispensible basis for the perpetuation of an over one-hundred-year-old IBA success story. This publication gathers the essential contributions to that debate and outlines the components of the “IBA meets IBA” network. With contributions by Werner Durth, Uli Hellweg, Engelbert Lütke Daldrup, Jörn Walter among others and a guest contribution by Roger Willemsen.

WASSERATLAS
WasserLand-Topologien für die Hamburger Elbinsel

Dealing imaginatively with the extreme water dynamics of the Elbe Islands in Hamburg is one of the key themes of the International Building Exhibition Hamburg within the context of its main heading “Cities and Climate Change”. The WASSERATLAS offers a new perspective on complex water-related issues in connection with the Elbe Islands. In a combination of maps, photos, diagrams and texts, it vividly depicts the interplay of human influences, topography, and water with all its facets: the Elbe, harbour water, canals, groundwater, sewage, and floodwater. Against the background of the original, fascinating concept of water-land and vital questions concerning the future, creative and remodelling approaches to the water-land dynamics of the Elbe Islands are applied, modified and developed in 3 x 3 scenarios. This makes the WASSERATLAS an innovative, interdisciplinary tool for the design of urban waterscapes.

Culture I Nature - Art and Philosophy in the context of Urban Development

At present, metropolises all over the world are looking for answers to the challenges of climatic change as well as for better perspectives for urban life. Too often, possible strategies are being designed by city planners and are implemented top-down. But is a »masterplan« really the only way to tackle complex questions of a socially and ecologically fair future, and to meet the demands of a conscious and committed urban population? Examining the complex relationship of „urban culture“ and „threatened nature“, this book presents cooperative planning processes, artistic interventions and philosophical reflections. Community gardening, gentrification processes, and citizens’ participation are only some of the subjects dealt with by German and American artists and experts in this inspiring two volumes on sustainable urban development. Contributions by Gernot Boehme, Critical Art Ensemble, Mike Davis, , Lisa Heldke, Susan Leibovitz Steinman, Dan Peterman, et. al.

Catalogue for the Interim Presentation 2010

In the summer half year of 2010, the Internationale Bauausstellung (International Building Exhibition) IBA Hamburg is organising a major interim presentation of its plans, publicising projects and making it possible to explore construction sites for the first time. The book presents responses to important issues of the future, which the IBS Hamburg has chosen as its key themes: Cosmopolis – the question of coexistence in our increasingly international urban societies; Metrozones – access to conceivable new urban spaces; and the City and Climate Change – the question of sustainable solutions that combine the growth of cities ans a conservational approach to our ressources. This detailed, vividly illustrated publication examines the backround for each project location, presenting the tasks faced as well as the projected solutions of the IBA.

Metropolis: Reflection
Designs for the Future of the Metropolis

With the Internationale Bauausstellung (IBA) Hamburg the Free and Hanseatic City dares a leap across the Elbe – to the Elbe islands Wilhelmsburg, Veddel, Kleiner Grasbrook and the Harburg castle island. From Hamburg’s “forgotten backyard” to the future lab of the metropolis: the IBA Hamburg focuses on the potentials of the international urban society – the COSMOPOLIS –, the design of the „inner peripheries“ – the METROZONES – and the CITY UNDER CLIMATE CHANGE. Until the year 2013, when the Elbe islands will not only host the final presentation, but also an International Garden Show, numerous participants will work on the future of the metropolis. A series of publications will accompany the IBA on its way. Volume 1 features a retrospective of former International Building Exhibitions in Germany, an outlook on projects of the IBA Hamburg, and complex considerations of the metropolis phenomenon.

Metropolis: Resources
Designs for the Future of the Metropolis

Half of mankind lives in cities – and the tendency is on the increase. These people use the greater part of our energy and yet also produce the most pollutants – with far-reaching consequences for the world climate. The other way around, climate change has an impact on urban life, influencing living conditions in the city. These tremendous changes herald the departure into a new age. The International Building Exhibition Hamburg focuses on this theme, taking a detailed look at "The City in Climate Change". Volume 2 of the series "Metropolis: Resources" illuminates causes and examines previous efforts in architecture, town planning and urban development planning with the intention of reflecting on strategies and visions for a new, appropriate form of urban living.

Metropolis: Education
Projects for the Future of the Metropolis

Transition from the industrial to the information society calls for a new kind of learning. Outstanding potentials for this exist in urban communities, where there is a concentration of both formal and informal educational facilities for children, youths, and adults; these must be developed. Urban space and the architecture of educational institutions can create inviting, encouraging, and inspiring settings in which to learn. The International Building Exhibition Hamburg adopts such contexts as a working emphasis within the framework of its key theme COSMOPOLIS. Volume 3 in the METROPOLIS: series enquires after the new city of the information society and its need for innovative “pedagogic architecture,” and also presents examples of reformative intervention for discussion.

Metropolis: Metrozones
Projects for the Future of the Metropolis

In the midst of our cities, on waste ground between city and landscape, streets of traffic and port or industrial areas, there are some exciting urban spaces: metrozones, the most important potentials for sustainable development. Here, the inner city is suddenly cut off, and the full dynamics of the metropolis and its streams of people and goods can develop—in a unique language of functioning, provision, and distribution. At present, entirely new fields of possibility are opening up in such places, giving rise to innovative, sustainable strategies of urban development: projects that solve the conflicts burdening such districts and generate a new quality of urban space—not suburban idylls, but powerful, lively areas that create a new part of the city within the city. Volume 4 of the METROPOLIS: series illuminates strategies and shows visions for the urban transformation of metrozones in the 21st century.

Metropole 5: Kosmopolis

There is more to globalisation than international financial and trade networks. Globalisation also creates an international urban society: the Cosmopolis. The aim of the Internationale Bauausstellung (International Building Exhibition) IBA Hamburg is to adapt the city to the needs of citizens of this cosmopolis and to give them the opportunity to develop. Volume 5 of the IBA’s series of publications deals with the structure of the communities inhabited by citizens of this cosmopolis—the places where they live, move and operate. In the light of demographic change, the book focuses on questions such as whether—and, above all, how—the armoury of urban planning and of architecture can be used to overcome the social and cultural barriers within urban societies, how ethnic and cultural diversity can become positive strengths, and how this can happen under the conditions of a worldwide trend of urbanisation that is coming up against its ecological limits.
