Book excerpt: Cinematic Aided Design: An Everyday Life Approach to Architecture provides architects, planners, designer practitioners, politicians and decision makers with a new awareness of the practice of everyday life through the medium of film. This novel approach will also appeal to film scholars and film practitioners with an interest in spatial and architectural issues, as well as researchers from cultural studies in the field of everyday life. The everyday life is one of the hardest things to uncover since by its very nature it remains overlooked and ignored. However, cinema has over the last 120 years represented, interpreted and portrayed hundreds of thousands of everyday life situations taking place in a wide range of dwellings, streets and cities. Film constitutes the most comprehensive lived in building data in existence. Cinema created a comprehensive encyclopedia of architectural spaces and building elements. It has exposed large fragments of our everyday life and everyday environment that this book is aiming to reveal and restitute.

Book Forms of the Cinematic

Download or read book Forms of the Cinematic written by Mark Breeze and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2021-02-11 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary collection explores how cinema calls into question its own frame of reference and, at the same time, how its form becomes the matter of its thought. Building on the axiom (cherished by philosophers of cinema from Epstein to Deleuze) that cinema is a medium that thinks in conjunction with its spectators, this book examines how various forms of the cinematic rethink and redraw the terrain of traditional disciplines, thereby enabling different modes of thought and practice. Areas under consideration by a range of leading academics and practitioners include architecture, science, writing in a visual field, event-theory and historiography.

Book The Horrorscope Manuscript

Download or read book The Horrorscope Manuscript written by Thomas Stacey and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2024-09-28 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an effort to cope with the death of his wife, Scott Theisen resumes his passion for writing by reviving a manuscript he started before his marriage to Patricia. The novel is written in the genre of nonfiction a la Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood. It tells the story of the search for an active serial killer, dubbed The Horrorscope Killer, who has been killing women on the dates of the zodiac cusps. Scott meticulously researches the murders, finishes his manuscript, sends out queries, and gets a response from literary agent Lindsay Hangton, who requests a hardcopy of the manuscript. But the manuscript disappears, along with all his electronic and hard copies. Desperate to recover the manuscript, he tracks Lindsay, who is headed to her cabin in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Lindsay’s boss, the owner of Mantis Literary Agency, also has an obsessive interest in the manuscript. Scott and Lindsay meet at a local Indian casino and become romantically involved. As their relationship becomes more intense, they focus on preserving the manuscript and revealing the identity of the serial killer. The fate of all three lives culminates in Lindsay’s cabin as the search for the missing manuscript finally ends in a surprising twist—one of many in this intriguing novel of suspense.

Book The Place and the Writer

Download or read book The Place and the Writer written by Marshall Moore and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-04-08 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The combined experience of authors throughout the ages offers a wealth of valuable information about the practice of creative writing. However, such lore can also be problematic for students and practitioners as it can be inherently additive, making it difficult to abandon processes that do not work. This adherence to lore also tends to be a US-centric endeavor. In order to take a nuanced approach to the uses and limitations of lore, The Place and the Writer offers a global perspective on creative writing pedagogy that has yet to be fully explored. Featuring a diverse array of cultural viewpoints from Brazil to Hong Kong, Finland to South Africa, this book explores the ongoing international debate about the best approaches for teaching and practicing creative writing. Marshall Moore and Sam Meekings challenge areas of perceived wisdom that persist in the field of creative writing, including aesthetics and politics in institutionalized creative writing; the process of workshopping; tuition and talent; anxiety in the classroom; unifying theory and lore; and teaching creative writing in languages other than English.

Book The Power of Existing Buildings

Download or read book The Power of Existing Buildings written by Robert Sroufe and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Your building has the potential to change the world. Existing buildings consume approximately 40 percent of the energy and emit nearly half of the carbon dioxide in the US each year. In recognition of the significant contribution of buildings to climate change, the idea of building green has become increasingly popular. But is it enough? If an energy-efficient building is new construction, it may take 10 to 80 years to overcome the climate change impacts of the building process. New buildings are sexy, but few realize the value in existing buildings and how easy it is to get to “zero energy” or low-energy consumption through deep energy retrofits. Existing buildings can and should be retrofit to reduce environmental impacts that contribute to climate change, while improving human health and productivity for building occupants. In The Power of Existing Buildings, academic sustainability expert Robert Sroufe, and construction and building experts Craig Stevenson and Beth Eckenrode, explain how to realize the potential of existing buildings and make them perform like new. This step-by-step guide will help readers to: understand where to start a project; develop financial models and realize costs savings; assemble an expert team; and align goals with numerous sustainability programs. The Power of Existing Buildings will challenge you to rethink spaces where people work and play, while determining how existing buildings can save the world. The insights and practical experience of Sroufe, Stevenson, and Eckenrode, along with the project case study examples, provide new insights on investing in existing buildings for building owners, engineers, occupants, architects, and real estate and construction professionals. The Power of Existing Buildings helps decision-makers move beyond incremental changes to holistic, results-oriented solutions.
