WerteWandel: Prozesse, Strategien und Konflikte in der gebauten Umwelt

New valuations and revaluations occur in architectural design, planning, and construction, based on existing reference values. Preservation or further development of building structures is based on traditional thought patterns and internalized value systems. This volume focuses on processes of value appropriation, internalization, and formation, illustrated using selected examples from the history of building and planning.

Within the intricate realm of architectural design, planning, and construction, a continuous cycle of valuations and revaluations unfolds. Every decision, whether oriented toward the future or aimed at creating new realities, is rooted in established reference values. While these actions are forward-thinking and geared toward the establishment of novel structures, they are nevertheless informed by the enduring principles and value systems that have shaped the built environment over time. It is important to note that values in the realm of building are not static entities but rather undergo a dynamic process of appropriation, internalization, and formation. This interdisciplinary volume delves into the intricate dynamics of value appropriation, internalization, and formation, utilizing selected examples from the rich history of building and planning, spanning from modern times to the present.

Through these illustrative examples, readers gain a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between values, architecture, and the broader societal context. The book explores how values are appropriated, internalized, and transformed within the architectural and planning processes, shaping the design, construction, and preservation of buildings. It sheds light on the mechanisms by which cultural, social, and economic factors influence the valuation of buildings and the decision-making processes that govern their development.

Moreover, the volume emphasizes the role of individuals, communities, and institutions in the formation and dissemination of values. It explores how values are transmitted, contested, and reinterpreted over time, and how they contribute to the evolution of architectural and planning practices. By examining the processes of value appropriation, internalization, and formation, this book offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics that shape the built environment and the role that architects, planners, and policymakers play in shaping its future.
