Download or read book Melancholy and Architecture written by Diogo Seixas Lopes and published by Park Publishing (WI). This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aldo Rossi (1931 97) is a key figure in 20th-century architecture. Often described as melancholic, his work was and still is influential both in architectural theory and practice. This new book discusses this notion of melancholy and its role on the example of Rossi. Drawing on rich archival sources, the author investigates several aspects of the Italian architect s figure and analyzes one of his landmark works, the Cemetery of San Cataldo in Modena, Italy. He also looks at the current issues of stardom, overexposure, and commercialization which Rossi anticipated, debating them in relation to melancholy. The history of melancholy as a companion to culture tells equally of affliction and an inspiration. Its meaning has always oscillated between medical statement and a mark of dignity. Subject and object, the individual and the collective have surrendered to the condition s allurement. While the influence of melancholy on visual arts and literature has been extensively debated, its presence in architecture has been overlooked so far. Yet artist and poets, such as Albrecht Durer (1471 1528) or Charles Baudelaire (1821 67), have related melancholy to questions of space, city, and modernity. Also, architects like Etienne-Louis Boullee (1728 99) or Adolf Loos (1870 1933) noted sentiments of gloom or crisis in their writings. Likewise, Aldo Rossi can be discussed from a similar standpoint. Amidst great social changes after WW II, he disputed the modernists credos and questioned the status of his profession. Discarding utopian pretences, his work claimed the autonomy of architecture with formal restraint. These positions and his understanding of terms like fragment and memory imply melancholy. His buildings, drawings, and writings oscillate between enthusiasm and disenchantment. The Cemetery of San Cataldo (1971 84) is an example of the latter. Closely intertwined with Rossi s biography, its stark and monumental buildings reinterpret a typology from the past to come to terms with the representations of death and its inevitable melancholy.

Download or read book Detroit s Downtown Movie Palaces written by Michael Hauser and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The spokelike grid of wide grand avenues radiating out from downtown Detroit allowed for a concentration of theaters initially along Monroe Street near Campus Martius and, after the second decade of the 20th century, clustered around Grand Circus Park, all easily accessible by a vast network of streetcars. In its heyday, Grand Circus Park boasted a dozen palatial movie palaces containing an astonishing total of 26,000 seats. Of these theaters, five remain today, fully restored and operational for live entertainment. Detroit, more so than any other North American city, illustrates how demographic and economic forces dramatically changed the landscape of film exhibition in an urban setting.

Download or read book Detroit s Statler and Book Cadillac Hotels written by David Kohrman and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the first three decades of the 20th century, Detroit's Washington Boulevard was transformed from a minor backstreet into a major commercial and social center. Three brothers named Book dreamed that Washington Boulevard would become "the Fifth Avenue of the Midwest." It was through their efforts, as well as those of businessmen like E.M. Statler, that the dream became a reality. The two fundamental developments that anchored this dream were the massive Statler and Book-Cadillac Hotels. Between the 1920s and 1960s, Detroit's finest hotels fiercely competed with one another for the lion's share of tourist, convention, business, and dining traffic. This book serves as a comparative study of the Book-Cadillac and Statler Hotels of Detroit, and their impact on the development of Washington Boulevard. Here you will find the story of these two legendary institutions, illustrated with over 180 photographs from the Burton Historical Collection, Manning Brothers, the Walter Reuther Library, and private collections.

Download or read book Psychoanalysis and Architecture written by Cosimo Schinaia and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how psychoanalysis and architecture can enhance and increase the chances of mental 'containment', while also fostering exchange between inside and outside. The way in which psychoanalysts take care of mental suffering, and the way in which architects and city planners assess the environment, are grounded in a shared concern with the notion of 'dwelling'. It is a matter of fact that dwelling exists in a complex context comprised of both biological need and symbolic function. Psychoanalysis and architecture can work together in both thinking about and designing not only our homes but also the analyst's consulting rooms and, more generally, our therapy places. However, this is possible only if they renounce the current limited and restrictive model of this interaction, and propose one more that is more in harmony with the questions and situations that clients themselves pose.
