520 |a Around 1800, one of the most influential architectural concepts of the last 250 years emerged—that of built spaces as technical devices. Climate, morality, and comfort are the three main themes of this study, and each is vividly examined in separate chapters through synchronous comparison and with the help of examples. The emergence of corresponding metaphors, knowledge, and construction forms is traced over a period of about 70 years. The author focuses particularly on the operative dimension of architecture. Thus, the book provides a historical perspective on a key topic for the future of architecture. The book is aimed at readers interested in architecture, technology or the cultural history of building and living. 
520 |a Um 1800 entstand mit der Konzeption gebauter Räume als technische Geräte eines der einflussreichsten architektonischen Denkmodelle der letzten 250 Jahre. Klima, Moral und Komfort bilden die tragenden Themen dieser Untersuchung, die in je eigenen Kapiteln im synchronen Vergleich und anschaulich mithilfe von Beispielen untersucht werden. Verfolgt wird das Aufkommen entsprechender Metaphern, Wissensinhalte und Bauformen über eine Zeitspanne von rund 70 Jahren. Einen besonderen Fokus legt der Autor dabei auf die operative Dimension der Architektur. Damit leistet das Buch einen historischen Blick auf ein Zukunftsthema der Architektur. Zielgruppe des Buches sind Architektur- und Technikinteressierte sowie für die Kulturgeschichte des Bauens und Wohnens aufgeschlossene Leserinnen und Leser.
