Book excerpt: Published in 1923, Toward an Architecture had an immediate impact on architects throughout Europe and remains a foundational text for students and professionals. Le Corbusier urges readers to cease thinking of architecture as a matter of historical styles and instead open their eyes to the modern world. Simultaneously a historian, critic, and prophet, he provocatively juxtaposes views of classical Greece and Renaissance Rome with images of airplanes, cars, and ocean liners. Le Corbusier's slogans--such as "the house is a machine for living in"--and philosophy changed how his contemporaries saw the relationship between architecture, technology, and history. This edition includes a new translation of the original text, a scholarly introduction, and background notes that illuminate the text and illustrations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hétérogénéité des objets de recherche, pluralité des problématiques, fécondité des croisements disciplinaires, renouveaux théoriques : ce sont ces aspects propres à caractériser l'anthropologie de l'art actuelle qu'illustrent les contributions de ce volume. S'y trouvent notamment analysés les fonctions et significations des expressions artistiques appréhendées dans des contextes culturels divers ; leurs conditions d'émergence et les critères autochtones de leur définition ; les modes de sélection, d'évaluation et d'appropriation des productions non occidentales par les voyageurs, collecteurs, collectionneurs, institutions muséales ou acteurs du marché de l'art. De manière transversale, s'exprime l'idée qu'une œuvre ne se réduit pas à un objet et ne s'épuise ni dans sa matérialité ni dans sa perception strictement sensorielle. Les discours (critiques, de légitimation, d'authentification, d'explicitation, etc.), l'imaginaire, les affects ou encore les modalités de sa consommation la constituent tout autant. Trop souvent, les musées se sont accordés à ériger la production matérielle des cultures locales en marque symbolique de leur identité et à essentialiser ces cultures en reléguant dans les réserves ce qui relevait trop visiblement d'emprunts ou d'influences. En déconstruisant ce grand mythe occidental d'une altérité vierge de tout mélange, l'approche anthropologique de l'art se refuse à penser le rapport à la création en termes d'oppositions implicitement hiérarchisées en valeur (authentique vs faux, rituel vs commercial, ethnographique vs touristique, esthétique vs politique, etc.). Ethnologues, historiens de l'art et sociologues, les auteurs français et anglo-saxons qui se rencontrent à travers cet ouvrage rendent compte de l'amplitude des perspectives de recherche ainsi ouvertes par l'anthropologie de l'art.
Download or read book Pr cis of the Lectures on Architecture written by Jean-Nicolas-Louis Durand and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jean-Nicolas-Louis Durand (1760–1834) regarded the Précis of the Lectures on Architecture (1802–5) and its companion volume, the Graphic Portion (1821), as both a basic course for future civil engineers and a treatise. Focusing the practice of architecture on utilitarian and economic values, he assailed the rationale behind classical architectural training: beauty, proportionality, and symbolism. His formal systematization of plans, elevations, and sections transformed architectural design into a selective modular typology in which symmetry and simple geometrical forms prevailed. His emphasis on pragmatic values, to the exclusion of metaphysical concerns, represented architecture as a closed system that subjected its own formal language to logical processes. Now published in English for the first time, the Précis and the Graphic Portion are classics of architectural education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: À la Renaissance, les inventions techniques comme la boussole, les lunettes ou l'imprimerie, mais aussi les cabinets de curiosité, les monstres, les merveilles ou les grotesques fascinent les esprits. Les amateurs de surprise et de nouveauté se recrutent aussi bien parmi les souverains et leur cour que parmi les lettrés, les humanistes, ou dans le peuple épris de fêtes et de spectacles. Les récits de voyages, les jardins, les réalisations architecturales qui se multiplient alors donnent l'impression d'un foisonnement de choses inédites, voire insolites, où l'innovation, mais aussi l'exagération, ont leur part. Avec Shakespeare, Ben Jonson et bien d'autres, la scène élisabéthaine va s'efforcer de répondre à ce goût grandissant pour la nouveauté, dont elle donne parfois une image grinçante et satirique. Au XXe siècle, après la remise en cause du drame bourgeois par Antonin Artaud qui redécouvre en France le théâtre élisabéthain, les mises en scène audacieuses de Patrice Chéreau (Hamlet) ou de Peter Sellars (Le Marchand de Venise) font apparaître la nouveauté de ces textes. Les différents parcours proposés dans ce recueil sont à lire comme autant d'invitations à voir ailleurs ou autrement, à s'ouvrir à ce qui apparaît bien comme autant d'expériences et d'esthétiques de la nouveauté. Ce terme parfois décrié à la Renaissance prend donc ici tout son sens et ouvre clairement la voie vers la modernité.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effort to go beyond given knowledge in different domains – artistic, scientific, political, metaphysical – is a characteristic driving force in modernism and the avant-gardes. Since the late 19th century, artists and writers have frequently investigated their medium and its limits, pursued political and religious aims, and explored hitherto unknown physical, social and conceptual spaces, often in ways that combine these forms of critical inquiry into one and provoke further theoretical and methodological innovations. The fifth volume of the EAM series casts light on the history and actuality of investigations, quests and explorations in the European avant-garde and modernism from the late 19th century to the present day. The authors seek to answer questions such as: How have modernism and the avant-garde appropriated scientific knowledge, religious dogmas and social conventions, pursuing their investigation beyond the limits of given knowledge and conceptions? How have modernism and avant-garde created new conceptual models or representations where other discourses have allegedly failed? In what ways do practises of investigation, quest or exploration shape artistic work or the formal and thematic structures of artworks?

This book was released on 2009 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophers from different regions of the world who had participated in the IIP Annual Meeting on "Aesthetics in Contemporary Philosophy" in Tokyo, 2006, analysed and discussed questions trying to connect the traditional aesthetic approaches with contemporary interpretation. Starting from the outstanding paragon example of ancient Greek art we have here comparative studies of experiencing and judging the beautiful and artistic characteristics in different cultural traditions like the Far East with its huge variety of traditions, roots and interactions between the Buddhist and Chinese as well as the Japanese arts. Is there any common essence or property which characterises an object or performance as artistic or of high quality? What are the roots and characteristics of artistic processes and creativity?
