Download or read book Charles Simonds written by Charles Simonds and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book which accompanies the exhibition is an effort to begin to assemble the photographs and texts which will make it somewhat easier for future authors to deal with the diversity of Simonds's work, most of which has not even been photographed or otherwise documented. (There are also various kinds of private works which he makes for himself and friends which have not been considered here.) The photographs are arranged according to Simonds's categories and the section headings are based upon his written descriptions. The categories are not mutually exclusive; it would have been equally possible to group certain projects together as "Cosmological" and "Organic Architectures," an option which the artist may exercise in the future. The three essays reflect the variety of responses that Simonds's Little People have elicited over the last decade. Simonds's work first appeared in the charged, politicized context of the early 1970s, which often focused upon the implications of his street works with regard to the conventions of the New York art world. Subsequent critiques questioned the apparent contradictions of his also making unique, salable works. John Beardsley's essays focuses on the question of the public works, while Daniel Abadie's evokes the myriad associations of fantasy and reality that we encounter through the range of Simonds's activities as an artist. The third essay alternates between a reading of the sculptures as objects and an introduction to some of the diverse ideas which contribute to their meaning; the notes can be read separately as suggestions for further exploration. The Commentaries are a personal tour of Circles and Towers Growing, again concentrating on the presence of the sculptures themselves in the exhibition. Reprinted in its entirety is Simonds's text Three Peoples, which relates the histories and beliefs of the Little People. --

Book excerpt: This study looks at Ann Cline2s hut dwelling experience, Richard Brittain2s experiment in assive dwelling with the desert, the inspirational ceramic architectural dwellings of Charles Simonds, and the researcher's own personal account of ceramic making and dwelling experience; all to shine light toward a clearer understanding of the act of making and dwelling. Through the lives of these four makers, this study explores the common ground that links different pathways of making and dwelling. Their art, and their interpretation of what it means to create a living space upon the earth, is revealed in the dwellings they created. Through their hands we see alternative ways to view a space in time, and to create an atmosphere for human dwelling that reflects the natural, physical world from which all our ancestors2 shelters once emerged.
Download or read book Where Soul Meets Matter written by Eva Pattis Zoja and published by Chiron Publications. This book was released on 2018-12-02 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the hands explore the sand’s consistency, its smoothness, and its readiness to respond to the slightest touch, all sorts of perceptions and emotions go through the clients’ state of mind, and they cannot say whether they came from inside or out. It appears to be a circular process, a very subtle but also very persistent and concrete dialogue between the inner and outer worlds, between body and psyche, and more generally, between psyche and matter. The author explores the psyche’s astonishing capacity and determination to regulate itself by creating images and narratives as soon as a free and protected space for expression is provided. A variety of examples from analytic practice with adults and from psychosocial projects with children in vulnerable situations illustrate how sandplay can be used in different therapeutic settings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A superb visual reference to the principles of architecture Now including interactive CD-ROM! For more than thirty years, the beautifully illustrated Architecture: Form, Space, and Order has been the classic introduction to the basic vocabulary of architectural design. The updated Third Edition features expanded sections on circulation, light, views, and site context, along with new considerations of environmental factors, building codes, and contemporary examples of form, space, and order. This classic visual reference helps both students and practicing architects understand the basic vocabulary of architectural design by examining how form and space are ordered in the built environment.? Using his trademark meticulous drawing, Professor Ching shows the relationship between fundamental elements of architecture through the ages and across cultural boundaries. By looking at these seminal ideas, Architecture: Form, Space, and Order encourages the reader to look critically at the built environment and promotes a more evocative understanding of architecture. In addition to updates to content and many of the illustrations, this new edition includes a companion CD-ROM that brings the book's architectural concepts to life through three-dimensional models and animations created by Professor Ching.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thoroughly illustrated classic study traces the history of the world-famous Chicago school of architecture from its beginnings with the functional innovations of William Le Baron Jenney and others to their imaginative development by Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright. The Chicago School of Architecture places the Chicago school in its historical setting, showing it at once to be the culmination of an iron and concrete construction and the chief pioneer in the evolution of modern architecture. It also assesses the achievements of the school in terms of the economic, social, and cultural growth of Chicago at the turn of the century, and it shows the ultimate meaning of the Chicago work for contemporary architecture. "A major contribution [by] one of the world's master-historians of building technique."—Reyner Banham, Arts Magazine "A rich, organized record of the distinguished architecture with which Chicago lives and influences the world."—Ruth Moore, Chicago Sun-Times
