Download or read book From the Lighthouse Interdisciplinary Reflections on Light written by Veronica Strang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-27 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is a lighthouse? What does it mean? What does it do? This book shows how exchanging knowledge across disciplinary boundaries can transform our thinking. Adopting an unconventional structure, this book involves the reader in a multivocal conversation between scholars, poets and artists. Seen through their individual perspectives, lighthouses appear as signals of safety, beacons of enlightenment, phallic territorial markers, and memorials of historical relationships with the sea. However, the interdisciplinary conversation also reveals underlying and sometimes unexpected connections. It elucidates the human and non-human evolutionary adaptations that use light for signalling and warning; the visual languages created by regularity and synchronicity in pulses of light; how lighthouses have generated a whole ‘family’ of related material objects and technologies; and the way that light flows between social and material worlds.

Download or read book No more giants written by Jessica Kelly and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2023-01-24 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Architecture is more than buildings and architects. It also involves photographers, writers, advertisers and broadcasters, as well as the people who finance and live in the buildings. Using the career of the critic J. M. Richards as a lens, this book takes a new perspective on modern architecture. Richards served as editor of The Architectural Review from 1937 to 1971, during which time he consistently argued that modernism was integrally linked to vernacular architecture, not through style but through the principle of being an anonymous expression of a time and public spirit. Exploring the continuities in Richards’s ideas throughout his career disrupts the existing canon of architectural history, which has focused on abrupt changes linked to individual ‘pioneers’, encouraging us to think again about who is studied in architectural history and how they are researched.

Book excerpt: Port Architecture Constructing the Littoral In the latter half of the twentieth century, the port has undergone one of the greatest and largely uncharted transformations in its history. Since the 1960s and the onset of the dominance of the passenger jet and the container carrier, ports have rapidly changed in both appearance and operation. Once an integral element of many cities' commercial activity, they have become increasingly specialised, mechanised and remote. This is often literal as in the case of dedicated container ports, which are now located outside central urban areas. With geographical detachment has also come alienation from everyday human endeavour and the popular imagination. Many of the original inner city ports have become derelict, while others have been transformed into residential or leisure areas; where speculative enterprises have been involved, they have often attempted to capitalise on a synthetic or trivialised sense of 'the maritime' as a promotion tool for everything from pizza parlours to penthouses. By looking at a cross section of contemporary international ports - Hong Kong, London, Marghera (Venice), Miami, P&O New Port, Portsmouth, Rotterdam and Sydney - Peter Quartermaine not only accounts for the worldwide changes in the port's recent history but also redefines it as a modern built environment, recasting it in the reader's mind's eye. By using a combination of text and photographs, he establishes a pertinent, up-to-date visual narrative for the port and its commerce. This transcends the dislocation with the maritime that has become part of Western culture since the 1960s, as fewer people have first hand experience of working docks and shipping. It also means that Quartermaine's study encompasses structures that have been conventionally placed at the margins of architecture. These bring to light some of the most extraordinary constructions of the post-industrial age: breakwaters of tetrapods, mechanical devices for water and cargo control, straddle carriers for containers, specialised plants for bulk handling and rationally appointed space for rapid sorting and transhipment.
