Download or read book Across an Inland Sea written by Nicholas Howe and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-09 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do the places we live in and visit shape our lives and memories? What does it mean to reside in different locations across the span of a life? In richly textured portraits of places seen from within, Nicholas Howe contemplates how places create and gather their stories and how, in turn, a sense of place locates the stories of our own lives. Howe begins with one of the finest descriptions ever written of Buffalo, that city on an inland sea where he grew up. He gives us a fresh Paris, viewed from the river below. And he depicts Oklahoma as a site of open lands and dislocation--a place of coming and going. Howe then turns to Chartres, a traditional location of pilgrimage, to ask what other sites might still be capable of compelling visitors in secular time. He portrays Berlin as a scene of twentieth-century history--and a city that helped him make sense of his American life. Finally, he writes about Columbus, Ohio, as home. Vividly rendering the places he has known, Howe meditates on the weight of home, the temptations of the metropolis, the fact of dislocation, the unraveling of history, the desire to remake ourselves through voyage, and the wonder of the familiar. In ways that too often elude travel writers, it is place that holds our imagination, that inspires much of our art and literature. Across an Inland Sea evokes the various senses of place that can fill and haunt a life--and ultimately give life its form and meaning.

Download or read book Contemporary Architecture written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The architecture created in the first few years of the twenty-first century is a rich and diverse mix, catering for the high expectations of an increasingly sophisticated architectural clientele, the demands of modern technology, and the stringent requirements relating to environmental sustainability. This book presents a collection of almost sixty contemporary international projects, each an important contributor to 'early twenty-first-century style'. Projects include the latest in corporate office design, introducing new concepts such as 'hot desking', the importance of natural ventilation and natural light, the frugal use of energy, and an emphasis on 'human scale' in massive office projects.
Download or read book Modernism as Memory written by Kathleen James-Chakraborty and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2018-01-15 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After World War II, West Germans and West Berliners found ways of communicating both their recent sufferings and aspirations for stable communities through buildings that fused the ruins of historicist structures with new constructions rooted in the modernism of the 1910s and ‘20s. As Modernism as Memory illustrates, these postwar practices undergird the approaches later taken in influential structures created or renovated in Berlin following the fall of the Wall, including the Jewish Museum and the Reichstag, the New Museum and the Topography of Terror. While others have characterized contemporary Berlin’s museums and memorials as postmodern, Kathleen James-Chakraborty argues that these environments are examples of an “architecture of modern memory” that is much older, more complex, and historically contingent. She reveals that churches and museums repaired and designed before 1989 in Düren, Hanover, Munich, Neviges, Pforzheim, Stuttgart, and Weil am Rhein contributed to a modernist precedent for the relationship between German identity and the past developed since then in the Ruhr region and in Berlin. Modernism as Memory demonstrates that how one remembers can be detached from what one remembers, contrasting ruins with recollections of modernism to commemorate German suffering, the Holocaust, and the industrial revolution, as well as new spaces for Islam in the country.
Download or read book Archive written by Matthias Sauerbruch and published by Lars Muller Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compendium offers a new insight into the work of Sauerbruch Hutton. The development of their architectural thinking can be traced completely from the texts of the architects, the considerable number of unimplemented designs, and realized or under construction projects, such as: the GSW headquarters in Berlin, the Federal Environment Agency in Dessau or the Museum for the Brandhorst Collection in Munich. On one hand, the book provides a far-reaching overview, and on the other hand it makes clear how each project was individually developed out of its structural and social context, and how the respective forms emerge from functional, technical, spatial and sculptural considerations. The book reveals how Sauerbruch Hutton understands their work as a process of continuous research. In doing so, the focus of sustainability repeatedly appears throughout the book as an integral part of their interest. In addition, the architects have developed their own language, which is recognizable by the spatial use of color and material as well as their organic corporeality.

Download or read book Postindustrial DIY written by Daniel Campo and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2024-01-23 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronicles grassroots efforts to recover, rebuild, and enjoy architecturally iconic but economically obsolete places in the American Rust Belt. A pioneering Detroit automobile factory. A legendary iron mill at the edge of Pittsburgh. A campus of concrete grain elevators in Buffalo. Two monumental train stations, one in Buffalo, the other in Detroit. These once-noble sites have since fallen from their towering grace. As local elected leaders did everything they could to destroy what was left of these places, citizens saw beauty and utility in these industrial ruins and felt compelled to act. Postindustrial DIY tells their stories. The culmination of more than a dozen years of on-the-ground investigation, ethnography, and historical analysis, author and urbanist Daniel Campo immerses the reader in this postindustrial landscape, weaving the perspectives of dozens of DIY protagonists as well as architects, planners, and preservationists. Working without capital, expertise, and sometimes permission in a milieu dominated by powerful political and economic interests, these do-it-yourself actors are driven by passion and a sense of civic duty rather than by profit or political expediency. They have craftily remade these sites into collective preservation projects and democratic grounds for arts and culture, environmental engagement, regional celebrations, itinerant play, and in-the-moment constructions. Their projects are generating excitement about the prospect of Rust Belt life, even as they often remain invisible to the uninformed passerby and fall short of professional preservation or environmental reclamation standards. Demonstrating that there is no such thing as a site that is “too far gone” to save or reuse, Postindustrial DIY is rich with case studies that demonstrate how great architecture is not simply for the elites or the wealthy. The citizen preservationists and urbanists described in this book offer looser, more playful, and often more publicly satisfying alternatives to the development practices that have transformed iconic sites into expensive real estate or a clean slate for the next profitable endeavor. Transcending the disciplinary boundaries of architecture, historic preservation, city planning, and landscape architecture, Postindustrial DIY suggests new ways to engage, adapt, and preserve architecturally compelling sites and bottom-up strategies for Rust Belt revival.
