      Dieses philosophisch-mystische „Gespräch“ mit Meister Eckhart versucht nicht nur, im anfangslosen Leben und der durch keine weitere Bestimmung verstandenen „Gottheit“ eine strukturelle Übereinstimmung aufzuweisen, sondern daraus zugleich eine notwendige Kulturerneuerung zu gewinnen. - This book pursues an in-depth discussion between Eckhart's mysticism and Henry’s radical or material phenomenology of life. Such an encounter opens up a path for the future, which does not arrange singularity and universality against each another but rather integrates them as a merged “action.

      What potential for design can be found in damaged or even devastated landscapes? What do we understand by a workshop for new landscapes? Building exhibitions have enjoyed a 100-year tradition in Germany. But the first Internationale Bauausstellung (IBA) to redesign a post-mining landscape creatively was implemented in Lusatia-a region much impaired by man's over-exploitation. What did the IBA give to Lusatia? What methods and processes may be applied in other regions beyond Lusatia? Ten authors explore these questions by highlighting the changes after ten years IBA in Lusatia. They look at the region from a wide range of perspectives: from inside and out, but also from the viewpoints of history, politics, culture, technology and art, and that of the people involved-local residents and planners.
