Parasite paradise: a manifesto for temporary architecture and flexible urbanism
NAi Publishers, 2003
Sign. PG 14 Par
Der Band diskutiert erste Resultate eines Projektes, das im Rahmen eines umfangreichen „Kunst im öffentlichen Raum”-Programmes für ein Neubaugebiet in der Nähe von Utrecht in den Niederlanden in Zusammenarbeit mit SKOR stattgefunden hat. Das Projekt versuchte einerseits im Zwischenbereich von Kunst und Architektur beispielhafte experimentelle Ansätze für eine kleinteiligen, leichten Urbanismus vorzustellen. Andererseits sollten die mobilen oder temporären Strukturen im größeren Kontext der Behausung neuer nomadischer Lebensweisen und deren Stichworte – „mobility, deregulation, network society, freedom, speed and individualism” untersucht werden.

Das leichte Haus: Utopie und Realität der Membranarchitektur
Spector Books, 2015
Sign. PH 2 Sch
The starting point for the informed research by Walter Scheiffele is the publication »Der Raum als Membran« [»Space as Membrane«] published in 1926. In this book, Siegfried Ebeling developed his theory of biological architecture. Even though he was closely read by many Bauhaus architects, Ebeling’s work was soon forgotten. Walter Scheiffele’s comprehensive essay bears witness to the genesis of an idea that is still virulent today.

SpaceCraft: More fleeting architecture and hideouts
Gestalten-Verl., 2009
Sign. PG 14 Spa
On the one hand, the book features flexible, fleeting structures that only exist for a limited time; these include pavilions, art projects or exhibition spaces. On the other hand, Spacecraft focuses on spaces that are used temporarily such as studios, offices or vacation homes. These structures, which are often used as hideouts from our hectic lives, can either blend in harmoniously with their surroundings or seem as exotic as a spaceship that has just landed.
