Shared by these distinctive spaces is a common approach to decoration that centers on collections gradually accumulated, delights in the handmade, embraces the beauty in imperfection, and values comfort and character above all.

Book excerpt: Discussing the idea with reference to accounts of awakening in esoteric literature, as well as contemporary psychological methods, Living Space: Openness and Freedom through Spatial Awareness proposes that a common denominator in both physical and emotional healing is the creation of more perceptual and conscious space and that an easier and more spacious awareness can be achieved by relatively simple changes to the way we pay attention.

Download or read book Frank Lloyd Wright s Living Space written by Gail Satler and published by . This book was released on 2000-04 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This sociological analysis of Wright's architecture examines the interaction between people and the spaces they create. Satler shows how Wright explored a new architectural dimension, the space in which we live. Focusing on the Larkin Building (1904) and Unity Temple (1907), works that Wright considered important but that have received little attention, Satler delineates the social nature of space. She provides an analytic framework through which to understand Wright's buildings and his writings, revealing how the history of such works and cultural landscapes offer a basis for making social, political, and spatial choices about the future. Wright's specific architectural works provide a framework for constructing social histories of places and people because his designs represent a natural way to build and to live within a larger social landscape. This original study will appeal to sociologists, architects, urban and architectural historians, urban planners and anthropologists, and those interested in the work of Frank Lloyd Wright.

Download or read book Living Space written by Michael E. Veal and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2024-04-09 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living Space: John Coltrane, Miles Davis, and Free Jazz, from Analog to Digital fuses biography and style history in order to illuminate the music of two jazz icons, while drawing on the discourses of photography and digital architecture to fashion musical insights that may not be available through the traditional language of jazz analysis. The book follows the controversial trajectories of two jazz legends, emerging from the 1959 album Kind of Blue. Coltrane's odyssey through what became known as "free jazz" brought stylistic (r)evolution and chaos in equal measure. Davis's spearheading of "jazz-rock fusion" opened a door through which jazz's ongoing dialogue with the popular tradition could be regenerated, engaging both high and low ideas of creativity, community, and commerce. Includes 42 illustrations.
Download or read book Living Space in Fact and Fiction written by PHILIPPA. TRISTRAM and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2024-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1989, Living Space in Fact and Fiction explores the house both in the 'real' world of the architect and the built environment, and in the fictional world of the novelist. The role of the house, in fact and fiction, tells us much about the space we live in, while the work of contemporary architects and designers illuminates aspects of the novelist's art. Profusely illustrated, Living Space takes the history of the house from the Georgian world of Samuel Richardson's Pamela through the works of novelists such as Jane Austen, Dickens, George Eliot, and Henry James, up to 1914, when the notion of the house changes its nature. Philippa Tristram is concerned not only with the structure and organization of the house, but with the inner life lived within it. She shows how the subconscious life of the family was transformed over a century and a half, revealed in the shape and structure of the home. This book will be of interest to students of literature, history and architecture.
Download or read book Land Use and Living Space written by Robin H. Best and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-09-02 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few people have any coherent idea of whether the shifts taking place in land-use structure are critically important for us all, or whether they are largely immaterial. This book (originally published in 1981) by setting down a more quantified and carefully researched statement and appraisal of land-use structure and change than had previously been attempted, shows that much of the conventional wisdom about land use can be shown to be incorrect or very suspect. Land-use planning has often been built on the insecure foundation of myth rather than reality, the author maintains. Land Use and Living Space shows that much of the perceived land problem in Britain is not substantiated by evidence on the ground and concludes that there is no real ‘problem’ at all. This analysis was a welcome contribution to the debate during the 1970 and 80s about the true state of land use in Britain, Europe and the USA.
