      With the rise of the global economy and increasing interconnectedness, architects face new tasks and evolving fields of activity. This transformation prompts renowned international experts from Europe and the United States to explore these changes through twenty-five technical papers. They address key questions: What competencies do architects possess to tackle new challenges? What additional skills and knowledge are necessary? What strategies are architects currently employing to navigate these emerging fields? The insights gained from these discussions are invaluable. The book opens with a brief introduction by the editor, who contextualizes the issues and frames the essays within contemporary architectural discourse. This introduction sets the stage for a deeper understanding of the profession's evolution. Additionally, the publication concludes with short biographies of the authors, providing further context to their contributions. Overall, this collection offers a comprehensive examination of the architectural profession's response to the demands of a changing global landscape, highlighting both the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for architects.

      Das Buch, das aus der letzten DOM-Konferenz in Linz heraus entstanden ist, setzt sich in rund 30 Fachbeiträgen mit dem Leitbegriff «Populismus» auseinander und versucht das Phänomen aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven heraus zu beleuchten: Muss ein erfolgreiches Design heute den Wünschen der breiten Öffentlichkeit entsprechen? Woran orientieren sich eigentlich Trends und die Erwartungen der Bevölkerung? Kann Gestaltungskultur grundsätzlich nur im Widerstand gegen populäre Trends entstehen oder liegt in einer Anpassung an populäre Tendenzen auch ein Potential zur Schaffung einer besseren Lebensumwelt?
