Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pensar, componer, construir aporta constataciones teóricas sobre los procesos culturales y artísticos que han llevado a la arquitectura ante el siguiente dilema: seguir acometiendo el reto histórico de organizar el espacio existencial o, por el contrario, desvanecerse de modo irrelevante en el actual proceso de acumulación aleatoria de formas arbitrarias sobre el territorio. A eso alude el sentido ambivalente adoptado en el subtítulo de la obra. Vista como materia profesional, la arquitectura no es sino una práctica objeto de aprendizaje. En tanto oficio ha dispuesto siempre de reglas propias; sin embargo hoy no pasa de manejar criterios fluctuantes, más bien subjetivos. Las reglas proceden ahora del exterior de la disciplina; así ocurre, por ejemplo, con la prolija normativa de imposición administrativa. Los menguados retos artísticos están determinados en gran medida por la dispersa cultura de la imagen que nos invade, la cual afecta sobremanera a la arquitectura y anula su condición autónoma. Es decir, agotado el impulso originado en el Movimiento Moderno, hoy depende de agentes externos dedicados a la producción de imágenes banales, cuando no extravagantes. La primera parte de este libro trata de los principios compositivos, hoy maltrechos, que son propios de la disciplina arquitectónica en tanto factores integrados en el acto constructivo. La segunda parte está más bien dedicada a la experiencia y el legado histórico, vistos como materiales o herramientas para la fundamentación del proyecto arquitectónico contemporáneo. Todo ello sin olvidar el aporte intelectual implícito en la propia noción de arquitectura.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The documentation of the seminar 'Scales and Methodology: Verticality' is dealing with the implications of verticality for the conception of hybrid typologies. Beside just the classical skyscraper needle, the seminar was interested in exploring aspects like principles of stacking, the relation of depth in plan and building hight and structural limits and solution. Within this broader scope of questions, the selected study cases covered different aspects of the topic. More precisely there were these projects to be studied: CCTV Headquarter in Beijing, Centre Pompidou in Paris, Downtown Athletic Club in New York, Edificio Copan in Sao Paulo, NL Expo Pavillon 2000 in Hanover, Sendai Mediatheque in Sendai, Vagelos Education Center in New York and the Wyly Theater in Dallas. The students analyzed those various study cases and while in a second step they formulated a case re-study by transforming the building regarding the results of the previous analysis. Die Dokumentation des Seminars ‚Scales and Methodology: Verticality‘ behandelt die Auswirkungen der vertikalen Ausrichtung hybrider Typologien. Ziel des Seminars war es, nicht nur die klassischen bleistiftdünnen Wolkenkratzer zu analysieren, sondern auch grundsätzliche Aspekte, wie die Prinzipen des Stapelns, die Relation von Tiefe und Gebäudehöhe, sowie konstruktive Einschränkungen und Lösungen zu untersuchen. Innerhalb dieses umfangreichen Rahmens von Fragestellungen, erfassten die gewählten Fallbeispiele verschiedene Aspekte des Themas. Die folgenden Projekte wurden hierzu untersucht: CCTV Headquarter in Beijing, Centre Pompidou in Paris, Downtown Athletic Club in New York und das Wyly Theater in Dallas. Die Studierenden analysierten diese diversen Fallbeispiele und arbeiteten anschließend, entsprechend der Ergebnisse aus der vorangestellten Analyse, eine re-study des Beispiels aus.
Download or read book Outdoor Domesticity written by Ricardo Devesa and published by Actar D, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-02-04 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trees have been deliberately connected with houses since they were introduced as a prominent part of architectural design. The relationships of contiguity between houses and trees have existed since ancient times. However, at the end of the 19th century those links became explicit in the design process, as the house emerged as one of the fundamental architectural programs, and as the result of an increasing sensibility towards environmental aspects and the landscape. The first part of this publication is to present a collection of exemplary five houses that evinced explicit relationships with pre-existing trees. The five twentieth century projects are: La Casa (B. Rudofsky, 1969), Cottage Caesar (M. Breuer, 1951), Ville La Roche (Le Corbusier & P. Jeanneret, 1923), Villa Pepa (J. Navarro Baldeweg, 1994) and Hexenhaus (A. & P. Smithson, 1984-2002). The second part of the book contributes three theoretical concerns for the contemporary project, those ones which are established in the process, with respect to time, place and outdoor domesticity in modern western housing. One of these theoretical contributions establishes that any house located on a site finds a significant place in conjunction with the preexisting trees. The second contribution describes the effects in terms of time, in addition to spatial considerations, which trees can contribute to the architectural project. Finally, the establishment of these connections between architecture and trees enlarges the idea of the house: the tree serves to draw the surrounding environment into the house and, as a result, becomes an intrinsic part of the house itself.

Book excerpt: The first overview of the unique encounter between artists and the prominent Marxist current Workerism, also known as Operaismo During the 1960s and 1970s, Workerism and Autonomia were prominent Marxist currents. However, it is rarely acknowledged that these movements inspired many visual artists such as the members of Archizoom, Gordon Matta-Clark and Gianfranco Baruchello. This book focuses on the aesthetic and cultural discourse developed by three generations of militants (including Mario Tronti, Antonio Negri, Bifo and Silvia Federici), and how it was appropriated by artists, architects, graphic designers and architectural historians such as Manfredo Tafuri. Images of Classsignposts key moments of this dialogue, ranging from the drawings published on classe operaia to Potere Operaio’s exhibition in Paris, the Metropolitan Indians’ zines, a feminist art collective who adhered to the Wages for Housework Campaign, and the N group’s experiments with Gestalt theory. Featuring more than 140 images of artworks, many published here for the first time, this volume provides an original perspective on post-war Italian culture and new insights into some of the most influential Marxist movements of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries worldwide.

Download or read book Romance motion verbs in language change written by Katrin Pfadenhauer and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2024-07-22 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cross-linguistically, motion verbs are frequently involved in language change and feature a wide array of motion-related constructions. The aim of this volume is to grasp more completely the typological characteristics and the developmental potential of motion verbs and to acknowledge the formal and functional diversity of motion-related constructions in Romance languages. To this end, the contributions in this collection provide synchronic and diachronic as well as typologically oriented studies that focus on motion verbs and single- and multi-verb constructions that have received scant attention to date. These include verbal periphrases, (pseudo-/semi-)copula and pseudo-coordinated constructions in Spanish, Italian, Romanian, French and French-based Creoles. In comparison to previous research on Romance languages, the present volume also adopts a broader perspective on language change, taking into account not only grammaticalization processes but also discursive, lexical and pragmatic phenomena such as the development of discursive, quotative or mirative functions. The studies build on functional, usage-based and constructionist models of language change and rely on corpus-based as well as experimental empirical approaches.

This book was released on 2011-02-07 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Business Week Best Book of the Year.... "A devastating and wholly necessary book."—Studs Terkel, author of Working In The Corrosion of Character, Richard Sennett, "among the country's most distinguished thinkers . . . has concentrated into 176 pages a profoundly affecting argument" (Business Week) that draws on interviews with dismissed IBM executives, bakers, a bartender turned advertising executive, and many others to call into question the terms of our new economy. In his 1972 classic, The Hidden Injuries of Class (written with Jonathan Cobb), Sennett interviewed a man he called Enrico, a hardworking janitor whose life was structured by a union pay schedule and given meaning by his sacrifices for the future. In this new book-a #1 bestseller in Germany-Sennett explores the contemporary scene characterized by Enrico's son, Rico, whose life is more materially successful, yet whose work lacks long-term commitments or loyalties. Distinguished by Sennett's "combination of broad historical and literary learning and a reporter's willingness to walk into a store or factory [and] strike up a conversation" (New York Times Book Review), this book "challenges the reader to decide whether the flexibility of modern capitalism . . . is merely a fresh form of oppression" (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Praise for The Corrosion of Character: "A benchmark for our time."—Daniel Bell "[A]n incredibly insightful book."—William Julius Wilson "[A] remarkable synthesis of acute empirical observation and serious moral reflection."—Richard Rorty "[Sennett] offers abundant fresh insights . . . illuminated by his concern with people's struggle to give meaning to their lives."—[Memphis] Commercial Appeal
