Art for Architecture. Georgia by Nini Palavandishvili,Lena Prents Pdf
Whilst Soviet modernist buildings in Georgia have enjoyed worldwide recognition for several decades, the art for architecture from that era - monumental decorative mosaics - still await discovery and appreciation from an international audience. Then, as now, these richly coloured mosaics were an independent, yet inextricable part of Georgia's architecture: they underlined a building's use, structured its façade, or merged into an elaborate whole. Today, however, many of these works, which were far more than just state propaganda, are under threat of destruction. For the first time, this volume documents these unique remnants of Soviet history alongside their precise locations. Using vivid photos and detailed texts, Nini Palavandishvili and Lena Prents guide the reader through a diverse selection of mosaics that distinguish themselves from those of the other Soviet Republics. By drawing attention to this artistic legacy of a bygone era, and in the process revealing its beauty and cultural significance, the authors highlight the importance of protecting and preserving it for the future.

GEORGIA ( Tbilisi ) And IRAN by Hossein Manoochehri, PH D Pdf
Architectural features, such as the forms, designs, and decorations of buildings, are major attractions for all people around world. Although a few thousand years ago, very few individuals were able to travel to other nations, at the present a majority of populations are able to travel to other countries to get knowledge about other cultures, other peoples, and other architectural features. Today, millions of people travel to other countries just to see how peoples, foods, living environments, and forms and designs of buildings in other countries look like. The present series is a contribution to make available for all people around the world to see in pictures the architectural features (i. e., forms, designs, decorations of buildings) in selected countries. It is a comparative, pictorial introduction of architectural features in six selected countries to show the talents, skills, and masterships of builders in creation of architectural forms and designs in the selected countries. More specifically, there are two main architectural styles in Europe (--as well as in mountainous countries such as Armenia and Georgia, ) and in Iran. While a stone architecture is common in Europe and in the mountainous countries, a clay architecture is used in Iran. A comparative display of the two styles, the stone vs. clay architecture, therefore, is the main theme of the series titled: A Comparative Display Of Art And Architecture. The second volume of this series is about architectural styles in Georgia (Tbilisi) and Iran. Using a functional-equivalency approach, the series focuses on architectural features from Europe and mountainous countries and Iran that, while structurally are different, functionally are similar or have similarity with each other. For example, both a church and a mosque are religious buildings with similar functions but with different structures. Although there are numerous published books about art and architecture in Europe or in Iran separately, but none makes a comparative introduction using a functional- equivalency approach. The present series, therefore, should be regarded as the first original work that seeks to present a comparative, pictorial introduction of two different architectural styles, stone vs. clay architectural styles, by displaying their main features side by side. For example, the illustrations are grouped into several categories (Introduction) [ i. e, 1) Historic or Heritage Buildings; 2) Stone (Khachkar) vs. Brick or Tile decorations; and 3) Religious Buildings: Churches vs. Jam'a mosques]. (Otherwise, assuming that the images collected and presented in this volume are also presented randomly in some other books about art and architecture in Armenia or in Iran, an estimated 50 to 100 books on the subjects of art and architecture in either Georgia or Iran should be browsed over, here or there, to find similar images collected in this volume.) Volume II of this series compares architectural features in Georgia (a country in the Caucasian region) to similar, clay architectural features in historic cities of Iran. The work is expected to make available for the readers a quick and an easy comparative views of the architectural forms and designs from Georgia ( Tbilisi ) as compared to their similar, clay architectural features in historic cities of Iran.
Georgia O'Keeffe in New Mexico by Barbara Buhler Lynes,Carolyn Kastner Pdf
A two-volume, slipcased set that includes one hundred duotone photographs and essays on the wild Gila National Forest and Wilderness in southwestern New Mexico.
In the times when the Ukrainian art sphere was regulated by the Soviet institutions, local monumental and decorative arts existed at the frontier of the Party's propaganda and the artistic thirst to experiments. Nowadays, Ukrainian mosaics are wrested out of the architectural context of the country in both literal and metaphorical ways. The artworks are liquidated from the buildings they were specifically created for and indiscriminately despised as ideological pieces of no value. Furthermore, in legal terms mosaics are not defined as objects of art that makes them unguarded in the face of the decommunization process. Initially incepted as a guide, this book is an equally beneficial companion for the journey through space (in the context of the geographical area of modern Ukraine) and hitchhiking through time (in terms of Ukrainian cultural history). It incorporates the selection of Ukrainian mosaics which undermines the simplified perspective on the Soviet art heritage in Ukraine. The volume is generously supplemented with unique photographs of the documentary photographer Yevgen Nikiforov who continues the research, initially presented in the book Decommunized: Ukrainian Soviet Mosaics (2017). Together with the art historian Polina Baitsym who reveals striking linkages of the mosaics' plots with broader historical context, he will guide you through the testimonies of the genuine creativity of Ukrainian monumental artists which managed to flourish on the most infertile soil.
The Architecture of Francis Palmer Smith, Atlanta's Scholar-architect by Robert Michael Craig Pdf
Francis Palmer Smith was the principal designer of Atlanta-based Pringle and Smith, one of the leading firms of the early twentieth-century South. Smith was an academic eclectic who created traditional, history-based architecture grounded in the teachings of the cole des Beaux-Arts. As The Architecture of Francis Palmer Smith shows, Smith was central to the establishment of the Beaux-Arts perspective in the South through his academic and professional career. After studying with Paul Philippe Cret at the University of Pennsylvania, Smith moved to Atlanta in 1909 to head the new architecture program at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He would go on to train some of the South's most significant architects, including Philip Trammell Shutze, Flippen Burge, Preston Stevens, Ed Ivey, and Lewis E. Crook Jr. In 1922 Smith formed a partnership with Robert S. Pringle. In Atlanta, Savannah, Chattanooga, Jacksonville, Sarasota, Miami, and elsewhere, Smith built office buildings, hotels, and Art Deco skyscrapers; buildings at Georgia Tech, the Baylor School in Chattanooga, and the Darlington School in Rome, Georgia; Gothic Revival churches; standardized bottling plants for Coca-Cola; and houses in a range of traditional "period" styles in the suburbs. Smith's love of medieval architecture culminated with his 1962 masterwork, the Cathedral of St. Philip in Atlanta. As his career drew to a close, Modernism was establishing itself in America. Smith's own modern aesthetic was evidenced in the more populist modern of Art Deco, but he never embraced the abstract machine aesthetic of high Modern. Robert M. Craig details the role of history in design for Smith and his generation, who believed that architecture is an art and that ornament, cultural reference, symbolism, and tradition communicate to clients and observers and enrich the lives of both. This book was supported, in part, by generous grants from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts and the Georgia Tech Foundation, Inc.

AIA Guide to the Architecture of Atlanta by Gerald W. Sams Pdf
This lively guidebook surveys four hundred buildings within the Atlanta metropolitan area--from the sleek marble and glass of the Coca-Cola Tower to the lancet arches and onion domes of the Fox Theater, from the quiet stateliness of Roswell's antebellum mansions to the art-deco charms of the Varsity grill. Published in conjunction with the Atlanta chapter of the American Institute of Architects, it combines historical, descriptive, and critical commentary with more than 250 photographs and area maps. As the book makes clear, Atlanta has two faces: the "Traditional City," striving to strike a balance between the preservation of a valuable past and the challenge of modernization, and also the "Invisible Metropolis," a decentralized city shaped more by the isolated ventures of private business than by public intervention. Accordingly, the city's architecture reflects a dichotomy between the northern-emulating boosterism that made Atlanta a boom town and the genteel aesthetic more characteristic of its southern locale. The city's recent development continues the trend; as Atlanta's workplaces become increasingly "high-tech," its residential areas remain resolutely traditional. In the book's opening section, Dana White places the different stages of Atlanta's growth--from its beginnings as a railroad town to its recent selection as the site of the 1996 Summer Olympics--in their social, cultural, and economic context; Isabelle Gournay then analyzes the major urban and architectural trends from a critical perspective. The main body of the book consists of more than twenty architectural tours organized according to neighborhoods or districts such as Midtown, Druid Hills, West End, Ansley Park, and Buckhead. The buildings described and pictured capture the full range of architectural styles found in the city. Here are the prominent new buildings that have transformed Atlanta's skyline and neighborhoods: Philip John and John Burgee's revivalist IBM Tower, John Portman's taut Westin Peachtree Plaza, and Richard Meier's gleaming, white-paneled High Museum of Art, among others. Here too are landmarks from another era, such as the elegant residences designed in the early twentieth century by Neel Reid and Philip Shutze, two of the first Atlanta-based architects to achieve national prominence. Included as well are the eclectic skyscrapers near Five Points, the postmodern office clusters along Interstate 285, and the Victorian homes of Inman Park. Easy-to-follow area maps complement the descriptive entries and photographs; a bibliography, glossary, and indexes to buildings and architects round out the book. Whether first-time visitors or lifelong residents, readers will find in these pages a wealth of fascinating information about Atlanta's built environment.
