"[2] In 2001, Martina Löw published the study Soziologie des Raums, a major contribution to a previously neglected area of sociology.

The book translated into many different languages addressed the complex ways in which spaces are socially constructed and in turn structure everyday life.

Löw understands space as a relational arrangement of social goods and living beings produced by an operation of synthesis and placement of these elements.

This logic implies a complex ensemble of knowledge stocks, means of expressions, and manifestations, which are intrinsically related and based on rule-governed, routinized forms of actions stabilized by specific resources.

In 2008 – 2013, Löw was director of the collaborative project „Intrinsic Logic of Cities “, a joint research venture of the Technische Universität Darmstadt and Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences, sponsored by the Hessian Ministry of Higher Education, Research and the Arts as part of the program “Offensive for the development of scientific and economic excellence (LOEWE) “.
