Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the aftermath of the Second World War, Berliners grappled with how to rebuild their devastated city. In East Berlin, where the historic core of the city lay, decisions made by the socialist leadership about what should be restored, reconstructed, or entirely reimagined would have a tremendous and lasting impact on the urban landscape. Risen from Ruins examines the cultural politics of the rebuilding of East Berlin from the end of World War II until the construction of the Berlin Wall, combining political analysis with spatial and architectural history to examine how the political agenda of East German elites and the ruling Socialist Unity Party (SED) played out in the built environment. Following the destruction of World War II, the center of Berlin could have been completely restored and preserved, or razed in favor of a sanitized, modern city. The reality fell somewhere in between, as decision makers balanced historic preservation against the opportunity to model the Socialist future and reject the example of the Nazi dictatorship through architecture and urban design. Paul Stangl's analysis expands our understanding of urban planning, historic preservation, modernism, and Socialist Realism in East Berlin, shedding light on how the contemporary shape of the city was influenced by ideology and politics.

  • Publisher : Reaktion Books
  • Release : 2015-08-15
  • ISBN : 1780234767
  • Pages : 274 pages

Download or read book Ruins and Fragments written by Robert Harbison and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2015-08-15 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is it about ruins that are so alluring, so puzzling, that they can hold some of us in endless wonder over the half-erased story they tell? In this elegant book, Robert Harbison explores the captivating hold these remains and broken pieces—from architecture, art, and literature—have on us. Why are we, he asks, so suspicious of things that are too smooth, too continuous? What makes us feel, when we look upon a fragment, that its very incompletion has a kind of meaning in itself? Is it that our experience on earth is inherently discontinuous, or that we are simply unable to believe in anything whole? Harbison guides us through ruins and fragments, both ancient and modern, visual and textual, showing us how they are crucial to understanding our current mindset and how we arrived here. First looking at ancient fragments, he examines the ways we have recovered, restored, and exhibited them as artworks. Then he moves on to modernist architecture and the ways that it seeks a fragmentary form, examining modern projects that have been designed into existing ruins, such as the Castelvecchio in Verona, Italy and the reconstruction of the Neues Museum in Berlin. From there he explores literature and the works of T. S. Eliot, Montaigne, Coleridge, Joyce, and Sterne, and how they have used fragments as the foundation for creating new work. Likewise he examines the visual arts, from Schwitters’ collages to Ruskin’s drawings, as well as cinematic works from Sergei Eisenstein to Julien Temple, never shying from more deliberate creators of ruin, from Gordon Matta-Clark to countless graffiti artists. From ancient to modern times and across every imaginable form of art, Harbison takes a poetic look at how ruins have offered us a way of understanding history and how they have enabled us to create the new.

Book Rebuilding Historical Ruins

Download or read book Rebuilding Historical Ruins written by Imuetinyan Igbinnosa and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-30 with total page 682 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conclusion of the matter is that partnership between God in heaven and man on earth is the only way to truly rebuild historical ruins resulting from secret activities of violent and cunning masked devils seeking to dominate the world. This book finds that rebuilding a nation and a world suffering increasing ruins cannot be done without involving the Son of God. Knowing the origin and ways of Christ the Son of God, together with knowing His Father in heaven and Holy Spirit His Anchor, became the important first step. This is followed by knowing the capabilities of Christ the anointed Governor, Big Man of the universe, revealed by the heavens and earth He created: and expressed by His mentality, covenants, and concerns that altogether demonstrates His deep love for mankind and for the whole world.Follow the Big Man to observe the history of the world, from Adam the first human to the early human families on earth: Then through the ages, the rise and fall of world superpowers beginning with the ancient Kingdom of Babylon. In the process discovers the earth is only about 6,233 years old by 2009 AD, not millions or billions of years old! Also, how ethnic and non-ethnic cultures and secret cults begin. Why and how human existence on earth came to be threatened by widespread stealing, killing, and destruction of lives and properties through the ages: Identifying 'Mystery Babylon' the ancient problem behind a history of colonization and domination majority peoples of the world suffer. Until it arrives at the stark reality that masked aliens hiding in secret cults and behind images of idol gods, and ruining the earth, can only do so because the Big Man allows it: His response to human rejection and disobedience! This way, the Big Man contends with fallen mankind so sinners prevail and become holy partners with the Holy Spirit to build houses for God in heaven out of historical ruins: as the Governor wants.Based on findings, good governance is proposed to mean accessing knowledge of Christ the Big Man to rebuild ruins and to give birth to a new nation and a new world through effective reforms. Different from good governance as defined by the United Nations, widely acknowledged as unattainable. Containing refreshing Treasures of His Word, the Big Man's agenda to save the world is followed by what and how ancient models of the Big Man rebuilt degrees of ruins in the olden days. Defined houses built out of ruins for God include Wilderness Tabernacles that are talents and products portraying the holy ways of Christ to the world, Physical temples that are places where God meets with His people to have pleasure seeing Himself in them, and Spiritual houses that are God's people running the Christian race to the top in another of God's great house called the Church. Other houses built for God are Houses of Freedom that are systems and nations where God's people, citizens, are allowed to express themselves freely: and Walls and Cities that are settlements built to God's specifications as it happened in Eden.The world will be astonished at the rapid development that will take place as a new nation is built out of historical ruins: A new nation where the spirit of development, with its approach and model programs for rebuilding, is the Spirit of Christ the Big Man. Back to paradise with incredible reward, is the coming reality not a myth: compared with the historical ruin that is the present one.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chaos is everywhere you look. From 9/11 to Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy, to Enron, to floods and earthquakes, to the housing and financial meltdown, to ISIS - it is hard to see anything but chaos. And I believe many of us often wonder, what in the world is going on. How are we going to survive crisis after crisis after crisis? WHERE IS GOD? Has he forgotten us? Did he forget where we live? Is he turning a blind eye to all our woes? God did not go on vacation. He is constantly directing the world stage. God is in control of all events. No matter what our world looks like, he is indeed the sovereign King. Asking where is God in a fallen world, or if he has forgotten us is really the wrong question. We should be asking, have we forgotten him. God directs the events of history - he controls kings, nations, and kingdoms. Many of us have forgotten that, or at the very least, we have allowed the chaos of our world to dictate to us who is really is charge. It is not a time to be asking, where is God. That is the wrong question. It is a time to evaluate where we are. It is time to rebuild the ruins of our nation.
