Download or read book Disclosing Horizons written by Nicholas Temple and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-11-22 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the influence of perspective on architecture, highlighting how critical historical changes in the representation and perception of space continue to inform the way architects design. Since its earliest developments, perspective was conceived as an exemplary form of representation that served as an ideal model of how everyday existence could be measured and ultimately judged. Temple argues that underlying the symbolic and epistemological meanings of perspective there prevails a deeply embedded redemptive view of the world that is deemed perfectible. Temple explores this idea through a genealogical investigation of the cultural and philosophical contexts of perspective throughout history, highlighting how these developments influenced architectural thought. This broad historical enquiry is accompanied by a series of case-studies of modern or contemporary buildings, each demonstrating a particular affinity with the accompanying historical model of perspective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the social and spatial dimensions of dwelling from the perspective of sustainability. This publication avoids the traditional energy and technological dimensions of sustainability to position the notion of sustainable dwelling at the crossroads of spatial polyvalence and residents' empowerment. In the field of housing, this publication identifies the recurrent properties of 'sustainable space’ and the variety of the socio-cultural practices that can embody them. Its purpose is to comprehend how the concept of sustainability is reflected in housing spaces as well as to analyse how inhabitants put those spaces to the test.

Download or read book Sounding Human written by Deirdre Loughridge and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expansive analysis of the relationship between human and machine in music. From the mid-eighteenth century on, there was a logic at work in musical discourse and practice: human or machine. That discourse defined a boundary of absolute difference between human and machine, with a recurrent practice of parsing "human" musicality from its "merely mechanical" simulations. In Sounding Human, Deirdre Loughridge tests and traverses these boundaries, unmaking the "human or machine" logic and seeking out others, better characterized by conjunctions such as and or with. Sounding Human enters the debate on posthumanism and human-machine relationships in music, exploring how categories of human and machine have been continually renegotiated over the centuries. Loughridge expertly traces this debate from the 1737 invention of what became the first musical android to the creation of a "sound wave instrument" by a British electronic music composer in the 1960s, and the chopped and pitched vocals produced by sampling singers' voices in modern pop music. From music-generating computer programs to older musical instruments and music notation, Sounding Human shows how machines have always actively shaped the act of music composition. In doing so, Loughridge reveals how musical artifacts have been--or can be--used to help explain and contest what it is to be human.

Download or read book Rousseau Among the Moderns written by Julia Simon and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renowned for his influence as a political philosopher, a writer, and an autobiographer, Jean-Jacques Rousseau is known also for his lifelong interest in music. He composed operas and other musical pieces, invented a system of numbered musical notation, engaged in public debates about music, and wrote at length about musical theory. Critical analysis of Rousseau’s work in music has been principally the domain of musicologists, rarely involving the work of scholars of political theory or literary studies. In Rousseau Among the Moderns, Julia Simon puts forth fresh interpretations of The Social Contract, the Discourse on the Origin of Inequality, and the Confessions, as well as other texts. She links Rousseau’s understanding of key concepts in music, such as tuning, harmony, melody, and form, to the crucial problem of the individual’s relationship to the social order. The choice of music as the privileged aesthetic object enables Rousseau to gain insight into the role of the aesthetic realm in relation to the social and political body in ways often associated with later thinkers. Simon argues that much of Rousseau’s “modernism” resides in the unique role that he assigns to music in forging communal relations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enigma Helvetia indaga il rapporto complesso che, dalla fine dell'Ottocento ai giorni nostri, intercorre tra la produzione artistica, la storia, la cultura e l'immaginario del singolare laboratorio che è la Svizzera. Nel secolo appena trascorso si sono susseguiti profondi cambiamenti sociopolitici, al cospetto dei quali il paese ha profilato la propria identità e la propria posizione internazionale, condizionando inevitabilmente - per reazione o identificazione, rottura o assimilazione -, anche le espressioni di creatività . La mostra, documentata nel catalogo, propone un'esplorazione avventurosa, curiosa e persino divertente dentro l'enigma elvetico, affiancando alle straordinarie opere d'arte provenienti dai più importanti musei svizzeri, immagini e oggetti del quotidiano, delle tradizioni e della produzione industriale svizzera. Il volume edito in ed. bilingue italiano/inglese riporta al suo interno alcuni testi in tedesco, francese e romancio. Annotation Supplied by Informazioni Editoriali
