Architecture Competitions and the Production of Culture, Quality and Knowledge by Jean-Pierre Chupin,Carmela Cucuzzella,Bechara Helal Pdf

[Winner of the 2016 Bronze medal in Architecture, Independent Publisher Book Awards] This book comprises a series of 22 case studies by renowned experts and new scholars in the field of architecture competition research. In 2015, it constitutes the most comprehensive survey of the dynamics behind the definition, organization, judging, archiving and publishing of architectural, landscape and urban design competitions in the world. These richly documented contributions revolve around a few questions that can be summarized in a two-fold critical interrogation: How can design competitions - these historical democratic devices, both praised and dreaded by designers - be considered laboratories for the production of environmental design quality, and, ultimately, for the renewing of culture and knowledge? Includes 340 illustrations, bibliographical references and index of over 200 cited competitions. Keywords: Architecture / International competitions / Architectural judgment / Design thinking / Digital archiving (databases) / Architectural publications / Architectural experimentation / Landscape architecture / Urban studies

ICONOCLASTIA by Josep Llus; , ETH Mateo Pdf

In the past, buildings and other constructions representing singular moments for the community were called monuments. Their origin was expression of power, celebration of ritual or collective affirmation. In the contemporary world, a project that aspires to be exceptionally expressive is commonly called an icon. The publication begins with a series of general texts on themes that vary but all share a common critical look at the role of the iconic on the recent architecture scene. Some of the texts were produced at a seminal symposium organized by the Chair of Professor Josep Lluis Mateo.

Costruirono i primi templi by Klaus Schmidt Pdf

NEL CUORE DELLA PREISTORIA Gobekli Tepe: una straordinaria scoperta archeologica che rivoluziona le nostre conoscenze sul remoto passato dell'uomo e getta una nuova luce sulle antiche tradizioni che hanno originato il racconto biblico della Genesi. Klaus Schmidt, l'archeologo scopritore del primo complesso templare dell'umanita', con questo libro ci conduce per mano dentro l'enigma che attanaglia da sempre gli studiosi della preistoria: donde veniamo e come siamo arrivati fin qui? Davanti a questa domanda cruciale, l'autore non si tira indietro ed avanza ipotesi narrando, in modo coinvolgente, il suo primo impatto con la misteriosa collina di Sanliurfa, nella Turchia orientale, e con i successivi eccezionali ritrovamenti, per poi descrivere con rigore la struttura dell'insediamento neolitico, cercando di interpretare il significato dei colossali pilastri a T disposti a cerchio ed istoriati con straordinari bassorilievi naturalistici o con simboli ancora tutti da decifrare. Il tutto 7000 anni prima delle grandi piramidi egizie e in tempi ancor piu' remoti rispetto all'innalzamento del primo megalite di Stonehenge. Il sito di Gobekli Tepe, con le sue meraviglie provenienti direttamente dall'era glaciale e con quelle che giacciono misteriosamente ancora sotto il manto di terra, e' destinato a cambiare radicalmente la comprensione delle tappe dell'avventura umana. 'La scoperta degli antichissimi templi di Gobekli Tepe (X millennio a.C.) permette per la prima volta di comprendere, con chiarezza senza uguali, come cacciatori e raccoglitori abbiano dato origine alla cultura degli agricoltori sedentari. Un libro affascinante sugli inizi della rivoluzione neolitica.' (Prof. Dr. Friedemann Schrenk, Direttore della sezione paleoantropologica del Senckenberg Museum di Francoforte) 'Questa è la storia della scoperta di un santuario monumentale che, a rigor di logica, non dovrebbe nemmeno esistere. Prima che venisse in luce, infatti, nessuno avrebbe creduto che i nostri predecessori, già 12000 anni fa, fossero in grado di realizzare opere d'arte e d'architettura di tale portata. In questo libro riccamente illustrato l'archeologo Klaus Schmidt, autore degli scavi, descrive quali forze propulsive abbiano potuto manifestarsi in un momento così cruciale per la storia della civilta' umana.''

The Bloomsbury Handbook of the Spanish Civil War by Antonio Cazorla-Sanchez,Alison Ribeiro de Menezes,Adrian Shubert Pdf

In 25 innovative thematic essays, The Bloomsbury Handbook of the Spanish Civil War sees an interdisciplinary team of scholars examine a conflict that, more than 80 years after its conclusion, continues to generate both scholarly and public controversy. Split into four main sections covering Military and Diplomatic Issues, Society and Culture, Politics, and Debates, the volume offers a number of unique features. It is unprecedented in its comprehensiveness and includes chapters on topics that are rarely, if ever, explored in the literature of the field: humanitarianism, children and families, material conditions, the decimation of elites, archives and sources, archaeological approaches, digital approaches, public history, and cultural studies approaches. Instead of discussing each of the two warring sides, Republicans and Francoists, separately, as is so often the case, the book's thematic structure means that these opposing forces are examined together, facilitating comparison and fresh understanding in numerous areas of study. Contributors from the UK, the USA, Canada, Spain and Denmark also analyse the major controversies and disputes surrounding each topic as part of a detailed exploration of one of the seminal events of the 20th century.

Icon by Moshe Barasch,Luci Serrano Pdf

Over the centuries, European debate about the nature and status of images of God and sacred figures has often upset the established order and shaken societies to their core. Out of this debate, an identifiable doctrine has emerged of the image in general and of the divine image in particular. This fascinating work concentrates on these historical arguments, from the period of Late Antiquity up to the great and classic defenses of images by St. John of Damascus and Theodore of Studion. Icon extends beyond the immediate concerns of religion, philosophy, aesthetics, history, and art, to engage them all.

Iconoclasm by Stacy Boldrick Pdf

The word 'iconoclasm' is most often used in relation to sculpture, because it is sculptures that most visibly bear witness to physical damage. But damage can also be invisible, and the actions of iconoclasm can be subtle and varying. Iconoclastic acts include the addition of objects and accessories, as well as their removal, or may be represented in text or imagery that never materially affects the original object. This book brings together a collection of essays each of which fundamentally questions the meaning of the word iconoclasm as a descriptive category. Each contribution examines the impact of iconoclastic acts on different representational forms, and assesses the development and historical implications of these various destructive and transformative behaviours.

Rome, Ravenna, and Venice, 750-1000 by Veronica West-Harling Pdf

The richest and most politically complex regions in Italy in the earliest middle ages were the Byzantine sections of the peninsula, thanks to their links with the most coherent early medieval state, the Byzantine empire. This comparative study of the histories of Rome, Ravenna, and Venice examines their common Byzantine past, since all three escaped incorporation into the Lombard kingdom in the late 7th and early 8th centuries. By 750, however, Rome and Ravenna's political links with the Byzantine Empire had been irrevocably severed. Thus, did these cities remain socially and culturally heirs of Byzantium? How did their political structures, social organisation, material culture, and identities change? Did they become part of the Western political and ideological framework of Italy? This study identifies and analyses the ways in which each of these cities preserved the structures of the Late Antique social and cultural world; or in which they adapted each and every element available to them to their own needs, at various times and in various ways, to create a new identity based partly on their Roman heritage and partly on their growing integration with the rest of medieval Italy. It tells a story which encompasses the main contemporary narratives, documentary evidence, recent archaeological discoveries, and discussions on art history; it follows the markers of status and identity through titles, names, ethnic groups, liturgy and ritual, foundation myths, representations, symbols, and topographies of power to shed light on a relatively little known area of early medieval Italian history.

Monumental Fury by Matthew Fraser Pdf

Recent years in America have seen Confederate monuments toppled, statues of colonizers vandalized, and public icons commemorating figures from a history of exploitation demolished. Some were alarmed by the destruction, claiming that pulling down public statues is a negation of an entire cultural heritage. For others, statue-smashing is justified vandalism against a legacy of injustice. Monumental Fury confronts the long-neglected questions of our relationship with statues, icons, and monuments in public spaces, providing a rich historical perspective on iconoclastic violence. Organized according to specific themes that provide insights into the erection and destruction of statues — from religion, war, and revolution to colonialism, ideology, art, and social justice — author Matthew Fraser examines the implications of our monuments from the Buddhas of Bamiyan to those of Napoleon Bonaparte, Abraham Lincoln, Robert E. Lee, Vladimir Lenin, and many more. Above all, the book endeavors to frame moments of statue-toppling throughout history so we can better understand the eruptions of iconoclastic violence that we are witnessing today. Statues are erected as expressions of power, and the impulse to destroy them is motivated by a desire to defy, reject, and eradicate their authority. However, the symbolic power of statues can stubbornly persist even after their destruction. This enduring paradox — between destruction and resurrection – is at the heart of this book. Fraser concludes with reflections that propose new ways of thinking about our relationship with statues and monuments and, more practically, about how we can creatively integrate their legacy into our collective memory in a way that inclusively enriches shared historical experience.
