Download or read book Buildings for Education written by Stefano Della Torre and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book presents theoretical and practical research relating to the vast, publicly financed program for the construction of new schools and the reorganization of existing educational buildings in Italy. This transformative process aims to give old buildings a fresh identity, to ensure that facilities are compliant with the new educational and teaching models, and to improve both energy efficiency and structural safety with respect to seismic activity. The book is divided into three sections, the first of which focuses on the social role of the school as a civic building that can serve the needs of the community. Innovations in both design and construction processes are then analyzed, paying special attention to the Building Information Modeling (BIM) strategy as a tool for the integration of different disciplines. The final section is devoted to the built heritage and tools, technologies, and approaches for the upgrading of existing buildings so that they meet the new regulations on building performance. The book will be of interest to all who wish to learn about the latest insights into the challenges posed by, and the opportunities afforded by, a comprehensive school building and renovation program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They were sitting round the fire after dinner—not an ordinary fire—one of those fires that has a little room all to itself with seats at each side of it to hold a couple of people or three. The big dining room was paneled with oak. At the far end was a handsome dresser that dated back for generations. One's imagination ran riot when one pictured the people who must have laid those pewter plates on the long, narrow, solid table. Massive medieval chests stood against the walls. Arms and parts of armor hung against the panelling; but one noticed few of these things, for there was no light in the room save what the fire gave.

Download or read book Great Museums of Italy written by Valerio Terraroli and published by Skira. This book was released on 2002 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Great Museums is a volume dedicated to the subject of museums, analyzed through the history of how some emblematic Italian museums have been created. Eight examples, unique due to the richness, variety and importance of their collections, which in virtual terms also trace a kind of conceptual art history itinerary: from the Egyptian civilization, documented by the grandiose collection of the Egyptian Museum of Turin, to the Roman civilization represented by the Archaeological Museum of Naples, by the princely collections of the Uffizi, Pitti, Villa Borghese and Capodimonte, and finally to the great masterpieces of Italian artists from the Sixteenth to the Nineteenth century, organized by schools and periods for didactic purposes, in the picture galleries of Milan and Venice. The purpose of the volume is to present the museum, not just as a safe storage for precious works of art, a place housing historical memories and a temple dedicated to absolute beauty, but as a place open to everyone, a central element in a kind of permanent education which develops and is accomplished both through a knowledge and appreciation of the history which has given Italy the world's largest artistic heritage, and by an interpretation of the single masterpieces, chosen as eloquent and fascinating testimonials of the changing taste and the transformation of the idea of beauty over time."--from the Publisher

Book excerpt: Do 21st-century women and men still believe that museums can, through the way they display art, help shape their visitors' sense of the dignity of the person?

If so, how? If not, why?
Download or read book The Bauhaus Group written by Nicholas Fox Weber and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2009-10-27 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nicholas Fox Weber, for thirty-three years head of the Albers Foundation, spent many years with Anni and Josef Albers, the only husband-and-wife artistic pair at the Bauhaus (she was a textile artist; he a professor and an artist, in glass, metal, wood, and photography). The Alberses told him their own stories and described life at the Bauhaus with their fellow artists and teachers, Walter Gropius, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, as well these figures’ lesser-known wives and girlfriends. In this extraordinary group biography, Weber brilliantly brings to life the Bauhaus geniuses and the community of the pioneering art school in Germany’s Weimar and Dessau in the 1920s and early 1930s. Here are: Walter Gropius, founder of the Bauhaus, the architect who streamlined design early in his career and who saw the school as a place for designers to collaborate in an ideal setting . . . a dashing hussar, the ardent young lover of the renowned femme fatale Alma Mahler, beginning when she was the wife of composer Gustav Mahler . . . Paul Klee, the onlooker, smoking his pipe, observing Bauhaus dances as well as his colleagues’ lectures from the back of the room . . . the cook who invented recipes and threw together his limited ingredients with the same spontaneity, sense of proportion, and fascination that underscored his paintings . . . Wassily Kandinsky, the Russian-born pioneer of abstract painting, guarding a secret tragedy one could never have guessed from his lively paintings, in which he used bold colors not just for their visual vibrancy, but for their “sound” effects . . . Josef Albers, who entered the Bauhaus as a student in 1920 and was one of the seven remaining faculty members when the school was closed by the Gestapo in 1933 . . . Annelise Else Frieda Fleischmann, a Berlin heiress, an intrepid young woman, who later, as Anni Albers, made art the focal point of her existence . . . Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, imperious, decisive, often harsh, an architect who became director—the last—of the Bauhaus, and the person who guided the school’s final days after SS storm troopers raided the premises. Weber captures the life, spirit, and flair with which these geniuses lived, as well as their consuming goal of making art and architecture. A portrait infused with their fulsome embrace of life, their gift for laughter, and the powerful force of their individual artistic personalities.
