This book was released on 2018-05-12 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Italian experience, foreign architects: Stories of those who pulled it off' is a cross-section of promising international architects born in the 80s who, thanks to-or in spite of-studying in Italy were able to open their studios and design inspiring works. Which are the most significant lessons they learned?What are the values they apply to their daily work?Which are their difficulties and how do they defeat them?What do they believe should be done now?The talks are an instant portrait of ateliers on the verge of success; they can be divided by culture, location, values, and goals but are united by young, fast-growing, and influential characters.Some of them are architects-artists; fresh graduates students with behind international exhibitions and publications; sensitive designers in search of timeless values; founders of multinational offices in the intent to conquer an entire slice of the market. 'Italian experience, foreign architects' lays the foundations for grasping the difficulties of the 80s' generation from a new and fresh perspective, giving a potential direction and ways to succeed. © 2018 TCA Think Tanktcathinktank.com'Italian experience, foreign architects: Stories of those who pulled it off''Pier Alessio RizzardiIn collaborationUnfolding Pavilion for La Biennale di Venezia 2018ContributionsAlessandro ColomboDavide Tommaso FerrandoSara FavargiottiIntervieweesCarmelo Rodríguez Cedillo, ENORME Studio Adrian Labaut, Alabauth Simon Linardi, Atelier Cartel David Diaz Bustamante, Silent Architecture Irgen Salianji, Architects for Urbanity Binh Duong Thai, EGO Group Franz Bittenbinder, Atelier Marsala Inês Dantas, WUDA* Architects Julien Boitard, jbmn Architectes

Download or read book The Condition of Chinese Architecture written by Pier Alessio Rizzardi and published by TCA Think Tank. This book was released on 2018 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In China, 1% of the world's architects have to design 50% of all the buildings and must do so for 15% of the profit. This extreme situation in which architects have to operate, design and build, creates the theoretical basis for 'The Condition of Chinese Architecture'. In addition to interviewing the critical voices of contemporary Chinese architecture, the authors report the nowadays reality of the country, the architectural evolution since the first contacts with the West in 1582 and the issues affecting its contemporary practice. The result is a groundbreaking, cumulative reckoning teased out through layers of personal accounts and cross-disciplinary research, drawing on architecture, aesthetics, philosophy, politics, and society. © 2018 TCA Think Tanktcathinktank.com'The Condition of Chinese Architecture'Pier Alessio RizzardiZhang HankunContributing AuthorsLi XiangningHarry den HartogRory StottCharlie Q.

Download or read book My Life Story written by Olimpio Guidi and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2023-04-27 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is dedicated to an individual who had a very positive impact on my professional life. The book begins with describing a childhood that began during WWII in extreme poverty and then at the age of 12 immigrating to the US. Became a US citizen and joined the US Navy at 18 and became a Navy Hospital Corpsman (medic). After going to medical X- ray school and working at two US Navy hospitals was transferred to the US Naval Air Facility on the island of Sicily in Italy. Following two tours at Sigonella took a discharge and accepted a civilian position. Shortly after accepting the civilian position a US Navy CDR by the name of Toby Haynsworth took over the Supply Department. Toby had a discussion with me and expressed his concern about my temporary employment status and arranged for me to receive some specialized transportation training and for me to apply for permanent civil service status which I acquired giving me job security. Toby was also a good friend with an American writer who was living in Taormina, Sicily, Eugene Mc Donald Bonner. Mr. Bonner was a North Carolina born-author, composer, music critic, and wayfarer. He also wrote a very interesting book “Roundabout Sicily” describing in detail the history and beauty of this historic island. In addition to publishing a number of songs and chamber works, Mr. Bonner also collaborated with Anatole France to create and opera based upon the Frenchman’s comedy “The Man Who Married a Mute” (“Celui Qui Epousa Un Femme Muette”). It was a pleasure meeting and spending time with such an interesting and talented individual.

Download or read book Fabricating Transnational Capitalism written by Lisa Rofel and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2018-12-31 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this innovative collaborative ethnography of Italian-Chinese ventures in the fashion industry, Lisa Rofel and Sylvia J. Yanagisako offer a new methodology for studying transnational capitalism. Drawing on their respective linguistic and regional areas of expertise, Rofel and Yanagisako show how different historical legacies of capital, labor, nation, and kinship are crucial in the formation of global capitalism. Focusing on how Italian fashion is manufactured, distributed, and marketed by Italian-Chinese ventures and how their relationships have been complicated by China's emergence as a market for luxury goods, the authors illuminate the often-overlooked processes that produce transnational capitalism—including privatization, negotiation of labor value, rearrangement of accumulation, reconfiguration of kinship, and outsourcing of inequality. In so doing, Fabricating Transnational Capitalism reveals the crucial role of the state and the shifting power relations between nations in shaping the ideas and practices of the Italian and Chinese partners.

Book excerpt: Introduction One day, years ago Dodie gave me a notebook filled with questions on many subjects. This year early 2003, she invited me to go with her to a writing workshop. I was so inspired that I put down my paintbrush, put my watercolors away and started to answer those questions Dodie had presented to me. What started out to be answers to simple questions drew from my mind memories of so many wonderful people and so many thoughtful experiences from my past that along the way other stories came to be told. I hope those who read these words will enjoy them...

Download or read book Sport and Urban Space in Europe written by Thierry Terret and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filling a gap in the literature on the history of sport in Europe, the book brings together complementary studies on diverse aspects of the interrelation between sport and urban space. Going from geography to political science, from sports history to urban and transport history, it suggests a three-fold approach. A first thematic group of researches ranges around "Sport Development and Urban Spaces", exploring the impact of the city on the rise of sport. A second focal point is related to "Sport Policies and Local Identities" with a special attention given to the making of sport venues and competitions in the making of urban identity. A third thematic group includes studies on "Sport Facilities, Engineers and Workers". The articulation of the three parts builds a unique contribution to the process of identity making at a European level. This book was published a sa special issue of the International Journal of the History of Sport.

Download or read book Autotelic Architect written by Sumita Singha and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autotelic Architect explores how movements towards more self-initiated projects, greater collaboration and design activism have changed how architects and designers are practicing, as well as the kinds of projects they are working on. Similar to the autotelic self that transforms potential problems into enjoyable challenges, the ‘Autotelic Architect’ does not avoid societal changes, but instead learns to harness their creative potential. Using new research and case studies from past and present, the author analyses the educational and professional implications of operating as a ‘non-conventional’ progressive participatory design practice. Drawing on a range of global case studies of pioneering architects in the field, she reflects upon current and future trends at local, national and international level, and additionally examines marketing and practical issues for architects. Illustrated with more than 30 black and white images, this is a compelling read for any practicing architect.
