The essays collected in this volume cover the spectrum of issues that determine the quality of architecture. For example: What exactly is architectural quality? Is it based on physical facts? Is it a matter of cultural context? Does it lie in the eye of the beholder or is it actually beauty that matters? Do architects’ intentions and ideas provide the keys to a building’s evaluation? Does it rest primarily in its form? Or in the ethical attitude it expresses? Or is it just a group of critics deciding these issues among themselves?
While quantitative-technical evaluations of buildings abound internationally, the qualitative assessment of architectural works has so far been largely neglected. This unique anthology on definitions of architectural quality ranges from general observations and theories to case studies, and lays a rigorous foundation for assessing works of architecture.

This unique anthology on definitions of architectural quality ranges from general observations and theories to case studies, and lays a rigorous foundation for assessing works of architecture.; Die Texte dieses neuen Sammelbandes der International Conference on Architectural Criticism decken das gesamte Spektrum der Fragen ab, was die Qualität von Architektur bestimmt. Beispielsweise: Was definiert architektonische Qualität Beruht sie auf physischen Fakten Ist sie eine Frage des kulturellen Kontextes Liegt sie im Auge der Betrachter:innen Sind die Intentionen und Ideen der Architekt:innen der Schlüssel zur qualitativen Bewertung eines Gebäudes Handelt es sich um eine Frage der Schönheit Liegt die Qualität eines architektonischen Werks in seiner Form Oder in der ethischen Haltung, die es ausdrückt Wird die Qualitätsfrage nur von einer Gruppe von Kritiker:innen unter sich geklärt Während quantitativ-technische Bewertungen von Bauten international weitverbreitet sind, wird die qualitative Bewertung architektonischer Werke nach wie vor vernachlässigt. Dieses Buch präsentiert eine einzigartige Sammlung von Definitionen der architektonischen Qualität, die von allgemeinen Beobachtungen und Theorien bis hin zu Fallstudien reichen, und schafft so eine präzise Grundlage für weit über quantitativ-technische Merkmale hinausreichende Beurteilungen von Architekturen. 192 pp. Englisch.
