Focusing on spatial dramaturgy, the book explores how architectural spaces are experienced and shaped. It is divided into four sections, beginning with archetypal principles derived from early modern assembly buildings in Venice. Theoretical insights from theatre, film, and music enrich the discussion, while detailed analyses of 18 international case studies provide fresh perspectives on contemporary architecture. The conclusion systematically presents the parameters and tools of spatial dramaturgy, emphasizing its significance in architectural design.

The political climate of our time is being shaped by a dwindling ability to engage in public dialogue, putting democratic practices under increasing pressure. In order to counter the trend towards retreating into the realm of self-affirmation, we need new spaces in which public debate is not only tolerated but stimulated. With this in mind, students at Rhein/Main University of Applied Sciences designed centrally located salons in Berlin and Frankfurt/ Main that could inspire interest in democratic engagement. In summer 2021, the German Architecture Museum will exhibit these designs. This book complements the exhibit with five essays by well-known authors, as well as a comic strip depicting a day in the life of the Salons of the Republic.

Bilingual edition (English/German) / Zweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/english) The realization is gradually dawning in Europe that many immigrants from Muslim countries are here to stay and are seeking to be naturalized— and therefore have the right to build buildings in which to practice their religion. The current building activities frequently cause tension, also for esthetic reasons, within society well into the mosque associations. The question of how the structure and appearance of a mosque can gain acceptance by society is a subject of heated debate especially in Western Europe. 14 interior architect students from RheinMain University have pursued this question and studied the traditional spatial concepts of mosques creatively. The range of ideal-typical designs shows not only the rich design potential harbored by this construction task, but also how contact between Islam and a western context could lead to a new, intercultural architecture, which reflects the reality of our living environment, without compromising commitment to tradition.

Schwindende Dialogfähigkeit prägt das politische Klima unserer Gegenwart in einem Maß, dass demokratische Praktiken zunehmend unter Druck geraten. Um dem Trend zum Rückzug ins ?Selbstbestätigungsmilieu? entgegenzuwirken, bedarf es neuer Räume, deren Atmosphären Debatten nicht nur dulden, sondern stimulieren und kultivieren. Studierende der Hochschule RheinMain haben deshalb Salons für zentrale Orte in Berlin und Frankfurt / Main entworfen, die Lust auf Demokratie machen. Die Entwürfe werden im Sommer 2021 im Deutschen Architekturmuseum ausgestellt. Das Buch ergänzt die Präsentation der Entwürfe um fünf Essays namhafter Autor*innen und einen Comic, der einen Tag in den Salons der Republik lebendig werden lässt

Architektonische Räume werden wesentlich von ihrer wirkungsvollen Inszenierung mitbestimmt. Deren Repertoire zu analysieren und für die Anwendung beim Entwerfen aufzubereiten, ist der Gegenstand der Raumdramaturgie. Sie wird in diesem Grundlagenwerk in vier Teilen dargestellt: archetypische Grundzüge, dramaturgisches Wissen in Theater und Musik, beispielhafte Bauten der Gegenwart und Raumdramaturgie als Werkzeug des Entwerfens.
