Sport and Architecture

Sport and Architecture

Sport and architecture are two elements of contemporary life that have a broad and profound impact on the world around us. The role architecture plays in shaping buildings and societies has occupied historians for centuries. Likewise the cultural economic and political importance of sport is the subject of sustained academic inquiry. When sport and architecture converge as in the 2012 London Olympics or the 2014 World Cup in Brazil then the impact of these two forms of social activity is redoubled. This book presents a new and dynamic study of the complex relationship between sport and architecture. It explores the history of sport architecture and examines the buildings and events that create sites where sport and architecture converge in particularly telling ways. Its chapters discuss the following topics: sport architecture and urban redevelopment sport architecture and technology sport architecture and nationalism sport architecture as social activism sport architecture and global capitalism. By considering the importance of architectural form alongside these key themes this book represents a landmark study for anybody interested in the social and cultural significance of architecture or sport.

Security Architecture – How & Why

Security Architecture – How & Why

Security Architecture or Enterprise Information security architecture as it was originally coined by Gartner back in 2006 has been applied to many things and different areas making a concrete definition of security architecture a difficult proposition. But having an architecture for the cyber security needs of an organization is important for many reasons not least because having an architecture makes working with cyber security a much easier job since we can now build on a hopefully solid foundation. Developing a security architecture is a daunting job for almost anyone and in a company that has not had a cyber security program implemented before the job becomes even harder. The benefits of having a concrete cyber security architecture in place cannot be overstated! The challenge here is that a security architecture is not something that can stand alone it absolutely must be aligned with the business in which it is being implemented. This book emphasizes the importance and the benefits of having a security architecture in place. The book will be aligned with most of the sub-frameworks in the general framework called SABSA or Sherwood Applied Business Security Architecture. SABSA is comprised of several individual frameworks and there are several certifications that you can take in SABSA. Aside from getting a validation of your skills SABSA as a framework focuses on aligning the Security Architecture with the business and its strategy. Each of the chapters in this book will be aligned with one or more of the components in SABSA the components will be described along with the introduction to each of the chapters. | Security Architecture – How & Why

Architecture and the Unconscious

Architecture and the Unconscious

There are a number of recent texts that draw on psychoanalytic theory as an interpretative approach for understanding architecture or that use the formal and social logics of architecture for understanding the psyche. But there remains work to be done in bringing what largely amounts to a series of independent voices into a discourse that is greater than the sum of its parts in the way that say the architect Peter Eisenman was able to do with the architecture of deconstruction or that the historian Manfredo Tafuri was able to do with the Marxist critique of architecture. The discourse of the present volume focuses specifically for the first time on the subject of the unconscious in relation to the design perception and understanding of architecture. It brings together an international group of contributors who provide informed and varied points of view on the role of the unconscious in architectural design and theory and in doing so expand architectural theory to unexplored areas enriching architecture in relation to the humanities. The book explores how architecture engages dreams desires imagination memory and emotions how architecture can appeal to a broader scope of human experience and identity. Beginning by examining the historical development of the engagement of the unconscious in architectural discourse and the current and historical theoretical and practical intersections of architecture and psychoanalysis the volume also analyses the city and the urban condition. | Architecture and the Unconscious

The Architecture of Ethics

The Architecture of Ethics

Ethics is one of the most important and least understood aspects of design practice. In his latest book Thomas Fisher shows how ethics are inherent to the making of architecture – and how architecture offers an unusual and useful way of looking at ethics. The Architecture of Ethics helps students in architecture and other design disciplines to understand the major approaches to ethics and to apply them to the daily challenges they face in their work. The book covers each of the four dominant approaches to ethics: virtue ethics social contract ethics duty ethics and utilitarian ethics. Each chapter examines the dilemmas designers face from the perspective of one of these categories. Written in an accessible jargon-free style the text also features 100 illustrations to help integrate these concepts into the design process and to support visual understanding. Ethics is now a required part of accredited architecture programs making this book essential reading for all students in architecture and design.

Architecture and Labor

Architecture and Labor

Through a collection of 13 chapters Peggy Deamer examines the profession of architecture not as an abstraction but as an assemblage of architectural workers. What forces prevent architects from empowering ourselves to be more relevant and better rewarded? How can these forces be set aside by new narratives new organizations and new methods of production? How can we sit at the decision-making table to combat short-term real estate interests for longer-term social and ethical value? How can we pull architecture—its conceptualization its pedagogy and its enactment—into the 21st century without succumbing to its neoliberal paradigm? In addressing these controversial questions Architecture and Labor brings contemporary discourses on creative labor to architecture a discipline devoid of labor consciousness. This book addresses how not just what architects produce and focuses not on the past but on the present. It is sympathetic to the particularly intimate way that architects approach their design work while contextualizing that work historically institutionally economically and ideologically. Architecture and Labor is sure to be a compelling read for pre-professional students academics and practitioners.

Confabulations : Storytelling in Architecture

Confabulations : Storytelling in Architecture

Confabulation is a drawing together through storytelling. Fundamental to our perception memory and thought is the way we join fractured experiences to construct a narrative. Confabulations: Storytelling in Architecture weaves together poetic ideas objects and events and returns you to everyday experiences of life through juxtapositions with dreams fantasies and hypotheticals. It follows the intellectual and creative framework of architectural cosmopoesis developed and practiced by the distinguished thinker architect and professor Dr. Marco Frascari who thought deeply about the role of storytelling in architecture. Bringing together a collection of 24 essays from a diverse and respected group of scholars this book presents the convergence of architecture and storytelling across a broad temporal geographic and cultural range. Beginning with an introduction framing the topic the book is organized along a continuous thread structured around four key areas: architecture of stories stories of architecture stories of theory and practice of stories. Beautifully illustrated throughout and including a 64-page full colour section Confabulations is an insightful investigation into architectural narratives. | Confabulations : Storytelling in Architecture

WPA Posters in an Aesthetic Social and Political Context A New Deal for Design

WPA Posters in an Aesthetic Social and Political Context A New Deal for Design

This book examines posters produced by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) a federal relief program designed to create jobs in the United States during the Great Depression. Cory Pillen focuses on several issues addressed repeatedly in the roughly 2 200 extant WPA posters created between 1935 and 1943: recreation and leisure conservation health and disease and public housing. As the book shows the posters promote specific forms of knowledge and literacy as solutions to contemporary social concerns. The varied issues these works engage and the ideals they endorse however would have resonated in complex ways with the posters’ diverse viewing public working both for and against the rhetoric of consensus employed by New Deal agencies in defining and managing the relationship between self and society in modern America. This book will be of interest to scholars in design history art history and American studies. | WPA Posters in an Aesthetic Social and Political Context A New Deal for Design

Film Architecture and Spatial Imagination

Film Architecture and Spatial Imagination

Films use architecture as visual shorthand to tell viewers everything they need to know about the characters in a short amount of time. Illustrated by a diverse range of films from different eras and cultures this book investigates the reciprocity between film and architecture. Using a phenomenological approach it describes how we the viewers can learn how to read architecture and design in film in order to see the many inherent messages. Architecture’s representational capacity contributes to the plausibility or 'reality' possible in film. The book provides an ontological understanding that clarifies and stabilizes the reciprocity of the actual world and a filmic world of illusion and human imagination thereby shedding light on both film and architecture. | Film Architecture and Spatial Imagination

Capsules: Typology of Other Architecture

Capsules: Typology of Other Architecture

This book investigates the architectural product design and urban typology of the capsule which beginning in the 1960s broadened the concept of the basic building blocks of architecture to include a minimal living unit called the capsule. Here it is presented with regard to the continuity of the development of the Modern Movement its revisionist criticism pioneering examples as well as contemporary examples and uses. The typology of the capsule allows us to consider this theme in terms of the architecture of resistance with the potential to search for an other architecture that is embedded in our contemporaneity (manifested in small dwellings composite structures and container units; shelters and mobile homes in nature and the urban environment; technology transfer in high-tech designs; devices additions and extensions etc. ). The concept of the capsule as a building element of architecture as well as a spatial element can therefore be regarded as having a generative potential for an architecture of personal space for the individual forcing us to reflect on our existing living and dwelling conditions. | Capsules: Typology of Other Architecture

Critiquing the Modern in Architecture

Critiquing the Modern in Architecture

Written over four decades Critiquing the Modern in Architecture is a collection of essays exploring the ideological and metaphysical core of modern architecture. Author Jaimini Mehta moves architectural modernism from its primarily Eurocentric definition interrogating the subject from the perspective on a non-western thought-world. Mehta groups his essays under three key themes: Rethinking Modernity explores the ideological underpinnings of the modernity/modernism binary; The Idea of Architecture looks at a number of issues that constitute the timeless and the invariable aspects of architecture against which the prevalent modernist discourse can be critically evaluated; and On Praxis looks at three contemporary architects' work and the Vienna Secessionist movement between 1890 and 1918 to articulate a critique of the underpinnings of the modern movement. Providing a new view of the modern in architecture this book is critical reading for architectural theorists and scholars of modernism.

Architecture Culture and Spirituality

Architecture Culture and Spirituality

Architecture has long been understood as a cultural discipline able to articulate the human condition and lift the human spirit yet the spirituality of architecture is rarely directly addressed in academic scholarship. The seventeen chapters provide a diverse range of perspectives grouped according to topical themes: Being in the World; Sacred Secular and the Contemporary Condition; Symbolic Engagements; Sacred Landscapes; and Spirituality and the Designed Environment. Even though the authors’ approach the subject from a range of disciplines and theoretical positions all share interests in the need to rediscover redefine or reclaim the sacred in everyday experience scholarly analysis and design. | Architecture Culture and Spirituality

Elemental Architecture Temperaments of Sustainability

Elemental Architecture Temperaments of Sustainability

Elemental Architecture presents a new and refreshing approach to sustainable architectural practice. Going beyond the standard performance-based and quantitative sustainable measures it incorporates a broader framework of considerations including the more poetic and noetic possibilities of environmental design. The book is structured around the ancient Greek and medieval alchemists’ system of the Five Temperaments: fire earth air water and ether. Phillip James Tabb examines how these elements produce both positive and negative environmental forces which have an impact on architectural design – from drinking water and fresh air to torrential floods and tornados. He shows how responding to or enhancing these forces can help us to create a more sustainable healthy and purposeful architecture. To illustrate this each chapter draws on seminal contemporary works of architecture from Peter Zumthor’s Bruder-Klaus Field Chapel to Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpiece at Fallingwater. These examples are accompanied by over a hundred high-quality illustrations. Expanding the discussion of sustainability to include phenomenological as well as qualitative considerations Elemental Architecture is ideal for students and researchers with an interest in sustainable architecture and architectural theory. | Elemental Architecture Temperaments of Sustainability

John Ruskin and the Fabric of Architecture

John Ruskin and the Fabric of Architecture

Through the theoretical lenses of dress studies gender science and visual studies this volume analyses the impact John Ruskin has had on architecture throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It explores Ruskin’s different ideologies such as the adorned wall veil which were instrumental in bringing focus to structures that were previously unconsidered. John Ruskin and the Fabric of Architecture examines the ways in which Ruskin perceives the evolution of architecture through the idea that architecture is surface. The creative act in architecture analogous to the divine act of creation was viewed as a form of dressing. By adding highly aesthetic features to designs taking inspiration from the 'veil' of women’s clothing Ruskin believed that buildings could be transformed into meaningful architecture. This volume discusses the importance of Ruskin’s surface theory and the myth of feminine architecture and additionally presents a competing theory of textile analogy in architecture based on morality and gender to counter Gottfried Semper’s historicist perspective. This book would be beneficial to students and academics of architectural history and theory gender studies and visual studies who wish to delve into Ruskin’s theories and to further understand his capacity for thinking beyond the historical methods. The book will also be of interest to architectural practitioners particularly Ruskin’s theory of surface architecture.
