Experiencing Art and Architecture Lessons on Looking

In this multidisciplinary book Sanda Iliescu articulates a rich multi-faceted approach to the aesthetic experience. Through in-depth discussions of her own lived encounters with art architecture and the world around her she advocates a way of looking that blends sensory perception formal analysis social and political consciousness and personal memory. Focusing special attention on the aesthetic concept of the figure-ground problem the author challenges this foundational principle’s presumed hierarchies and shows how a new and more dynamic understanding of it can enhance our way of looking at and understanding art and architecture. Works discussed in the book include a wide range of contemporary and historic art and architecture among them artworks by Rembrandt Matisse Eva Hesse and David Hammons; architecture by Zaha Hadid Peter Zumthor and Weiss/Manfredi; and non-Western works such as a thirteenth-century Chinese vase and the Ryōanji dry garden in Kyoto Japan. Personal and engaging this book is for a wide audience of those practicing studying or with an interest in the creative fields from beginners to seasoned professionals. | Experiencing Art and Architecture Lessons on Looking

Hans Hollein and Postmodernism Art and Architecture in Austria 1958-1985

Set within the broader context of post-war Austria and the re-education initiatives set up by the Allied forces particularly the US this book investigates the art and architecture scene in Vienna to ask how this can inform our broader understanding of architectural Postmodernism. The book focuses on the outputs of the Austrian artist and architect Hans Hollein and on his appropriation as a Postmodernist figure. In Vienna the circles of radical art and architecture were not distinct and Hollein’s claim that ‘Everything is Architecture’ was symptomatic of this intermixing of creative practices. Austria's proximity to the so-called ‘Iron Curtain’ and its post-war history of four-power occupation gave a heightened sense of menace that emerged strongly in Viennese art in the Cold War era. Seen as a collective entity Hans Hollein’s works across architecture art writing exhibition design and publishing clearly require a more diverse complex and culturally nuanced account of architectural Postmodernism than that offered by critics at the time. Across the five chapters Hollein's outputs are viewed not as individual projects but as symptomatic of Austria's attempts to come to terms with its Nazi past and to establish a post-war identity. | Hans Hollein and Postmodernism Art and Architecture in Austria 1958-1985

The Victorian Art School Architecture History Environment

The Victorian Art School documents the history of the art school in the nineteenth century from its origins in South Kensington to its proliferation through the major industrial centres of Britain. Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s Glasgow School of Art together with earlier examples in Manchester and Birmingham demonstrate an unprecedented concern for the provision of plentiful light and air amidst the pollution of the Victorian city. As theories of design education and local governance converged they also reveal the struggle of the provincial city for cultural independence from the capital. Examining innovations in the use of new technologies and approaches in the design of these buildings The Victorian Art School offers a unique and explicitly environmental reading of the Victorian city. It examines how art schools complemented civic ‘Improvement’ programmes their contribution to the evolution of art pedagogy the tensions that arose between the provincial schools and the capital and the role they would play in reimagining the relationship between art and public life in a rapidly transforming society. The architects of these buildings synthesised the potential of art with the perfection of the internal environment indelibly shaping the future cultural life of Britain. | The Victorian Art School Architecture History Environment

Bauhaus Effects in Art Architecture and Design

Bringing together an international team of scholars this book offers new perspectives on the impact that the Bauhaus and its teaching had on a wide range of artistic practices. Three of the fields in which the Bauhaus generated immediately transformative effects were housing typography and photography. Contributors go further to chart the surprising relation of the school to contemporary developments in hairstyling and shop window display in unprecedented detail. New scholarship has detailed the degree to which Bauhaus faculty and students set off around the world but it has seldom paid attention to its impact in communist East Germany or in countries like Ireland where no Bauhäusler settled. This wide-ranging collection makes clear that a century after its founding many new stories remain to be told about the influence of the twentieth century’s most innovative arts institution. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history design history photography and architectural history. | Bauhaus Effects in Art Architecture and Design

Nanomaterials in Architecture and Art Conservation

The conservation and protection of buildings that constitute our cultural heritage are complex tasks calling for a comprehensive knowledge of the historical background of the buildings as well as the construction technologies and materials used. Nanomaterials in Architecture and Art Conservation gives a comprehensive overview of the state of the art of using nanomaterials in conservation sciences mainly for stone mortar and plaster strengthening but also for the consolidation of wall paintings. The book compiles and details deterioration mechanisms of stone and historical mortars as well as methods of characterising and testing consolidation effects. The non- or semi-destructive characterisation methods that will be presented allow additional measurements to characterise objects before and after any interventions. Besides general aspects of inorganic consolidants are targeted. The focus in particular is the application of nanolime as a new consolidation agent. Basic characteristics and application advices as well as beneficial combinations with other consolidation agents such as silicic acid esters are emphasised. What makes this book so special is the large number of practical applications described from the viewpoint of different restorers offering a direct inside view of the procedure for the conservation of historical monuments. Restorers dealing with stone mortar and plaster conservation; artists; advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level students of conservation science art and nanotechnology; offices for the protection of monuments and heritage agencies; and researchers in materials science conservation nanotechnology and chemistry especially those with an interest in applied sciences will find this book a great reference.

Le Corbusier in the Antipodes Art Architecture and Urbanism

This book considers the architect Le Corbusier’s encounters with Australia and New Zealand as a two-way exchange showing the impact of his ideas and projects on architects of the region whilst also revealing counterinfluences on Le Corbusier in his post-war career that were activated by his contacts. Compiled from detailed archival research undertaken at the Fondation Le Corbusier Paris and nationally based archives Le Corbusier in the Antipodes brings together a set of episodes placing them in context with the history of modern art architecture and urbanism in 20th century Australia and New Zealand. Key exchanges between Le Corbusier and others never before described are presented and analyzed including Le Corbusier’s contact with Australian architect Harry Seidler at Chandigarh Le Corbusier’s drawing of the plan of Adelaide in 1950 and his creative collaboration with Jorn Utzon on art for the Sydney Opera House. This book also includes analysis of previously unseen Le Corbusier artworks which formed part of the Utzon family collection. In reading these personal and contingent moments of encounter the book puts forward new ways of understanding the dissemination and mediation of Le Corbusier’s ideas and their effects in post-war Australia and New Zealand. These antipodean contacts are set against the broader story of Le Corbusier’s career questioning received interpretations of his design methods and current assumptions about the influence of his work in national contexts beyond Europe. | Le Corbusier in the Antipodes Art Architecture and Urbanism

Building Theories Architecture as the Art of Building

Building Theories speaks to the value of words in architecture. It addresses the author’s fascination with the voices of architects engineers builders and craftspeople whose ideas about building have been captured in text. It discusses the content of treatises essays articles and letters by those who have been throughout history committed to the art of building. In this Building Theories argues for the return of a practice of architectural theory that is set amongst building buildings and builders. This journey of close reading reinterprets the words of Vitruvius Alberti de L’Orme Le Camus de Mézières Boullée Laugier Rondelet Semper Viollet-le-Duc Hübsch Bötticher Berlage Muthesius Wagner Behrendt Gropius and Arup. With chapters dedicated to texts from antiquity the Renaissance and the nineteenth century and with a critical eye on architectural theory popularized in the Anglo-Saxon world post-1968 readers are introduced to a wider more inclusive definition of architectural ideas. Building Theories considers how contemporary scholarship has steered away from the topic of building in its reluctance to admit that both design and construction are central to its concerns. In response it argues for a realignment of architecture with the concept of techné with a dual commitment to fabrica e ratio with a productive return to l’art de bien bastir with the accurate translation of the term Baukunst and with an appeal to the architect’s ‘composite mind. ’ Students practitioners and educators will identify in Building Theories ways of thinking that strive for the integration of design with construction; reject the supposed primacy of the former over the latter; recognize how aesthetics are an insufficient scaffold for subtending the subject of architectural ethics; and accept without reservation that material transformations have always been at the origins of built form. | Building Theories Architecture as the Art of Building
