"As he entered his seventies, the great Italian Renaissance artist Michelangelo despaired that his productive years were past. Anguished by the death of friends and discouraged by the loss of commissions to younger artists, this supreme painter and sculptor began carving his own tomb. It was at this unlikely moment that fate intervened to task Michelangelo with the most ambitious and daunting project of his long creative life. 'Michelangelo, God's Architect' is the first book to tell the full story of Michelangelo's final two decades, when the peerless artist refashioned himself into the master architect of St. Peter's Basilica and other major buildings. When the Pope handed Michelangelo control of the St. Peter's project in 1546, it was a study in architectural mismanagement, plagued by flawed design and faulty engineering. Assessing the situation with his uncompromising eye and razor-sharp intellect, Michelangelo overcame the furious resistance of Church officials to persuade the Pope that it was time to start over. In this richly illustrated book, leading Michelangelo expert William Wallace sheds new light on this least familiar part of Michelangelo's biography, revealing a creative genius who was also a skilled engineer and enterprising businessman. The challenge of building St. Peter's deepened Michelangelo's faith, Wallace shows. Fighting the intrigues of Church politics and his own declining health, Michelangelo became convinced that he was destined to build the largest and most magnificent church ever conceived. And he was determined to live long enough that no other architect could alter his design."--Provided by publisher.

Function and meaning in architecture and elsewhere, from tongue-in-cheek instructions for creating a surveillance state to reflections on the architecture of the potato chip.World's Greatest Architect: Making, Meaning, and Network Culture Artifacts (including works of architecture) play dual roles; they simultaneously perform functions and carry meaning. Columns support roofs, but while the sturdy Tuscan and Doric types traditionally signify masculinity, the slim and elegant Ionic and Corinthian kinds read as feminine. Words are often inscribed on objects. (On a door: “push” or “pull.”) Today, information is digitally encoded (dematerialized) and displayed (rematerialized) to become part of many different objects, at one moment appearing on a laptop screen and at another, perhaps, on a building facade (as in Times Square). Well-designed artifacts succeed in being both useful and meaningful. In World's Greatest Architect, William Mitchell offers a series of snapshots—short essays and analyses—that examine the systems of function and meaning currently operating in our buildings, cities, and global networks. In his writing, Mitchell makes connections that aren't necessarily obvious but are always illuminating, moving in one essay from Bush-Cheney's abuse of language to Robert Venturi's argument against rigid ideology and in favor of graceful pragmatism. He traces the evolution of Las Vegas from Sin/Sign City to family-friendly resort and residential real estate boomtown. A purchase of chips leads not only to a complementary purchase of beer but to thoughts of Eames chairs (like Pringles) and Gehry (fun to imitate with tortilla chips in refried beans). As for who the world's greatest architect might be, here's a hint: he's also the oldest.

The story behind a little-known episode in the annals of modern architecture and psychology—a 1950s creativity study of the top architects of the day, including Eero Saarinen, I.M. Pei, Philip Johnson, Louis Kahn, Richard Neutra, George Nelson, and dozens more—is now published for the first time. The story of midcentury architecture in America is dominated by outsized figures who were universally acknowledged as creative geniuses. Yet virtually unheard of is this intensive 1958–59 study, conducted at the Institute of Personality Assessment and Research at the University of California, Berkeley, that scrutinized these famous architects in an effort to map their minds. Deploying an array of tests reflecting current psychological theories, the investigation sought to answer questions that still apply to creative practice today: What makes a person creative? What are the biographical conditions and personality traits necessary to actualize that potential? The study’s findings have been gathered through numerous original sources, including questionnaires, aptitude tests, and interview transcripts, revealing how these great architects evaluated their own creativity and that of their peers. In The Creative Architect, Pierluigi Serraino charts the development, implementation, and findings of this historic study, producing the first look at a fascinating and forgotten moment in architecture, psychology, and American history.

The logic is simple. The observable Laws of Nature are too organized, too perfect to have emerged simply by chance. Therefore every philosopher has an obligation to at least consider the possibility that our universe was designed by some form of intelligence. Even modern history’s most renowned physicist, Albert Einstein, observed the precision of the universe and openly expressed his belief in the possibility of a Supreme Being behind its creation. Einstein entertained the idea of the pantheistic God of Baruch Spinoza. Spinoza believed in a kind of anthropomorphic deity who created the laws of the universe, set it in motion, but then doesn’t interfere. Perhaps long before our physical universe was ever created, a Supreme Being naturally evolved within the non-physical eternity of existence. Over time, this Supreme Being developed into an intelligence capable of establishing all the laws of mathematics, geometry, and physics that are required to create a balanced, properly functioning universe. This belief has been passed down and preserved within Western society through the Order of Freemasonry. The G in the middle of the Freemasonry symbol represents the “Great Architect of the Universe.” The square and compasses are the tools used by the Masons to design buildings in accordance with the Divine Proportions of Sacred Geometry - the same laws the Great Architect followed while creating the universe. The Circumscribed Hexagram symbol has been found all over the ancient world, from Egypt to China, dating back to at least 6,000 BC. It is believed to the pattern that the Great Architect followed while forming physical space from nothing. First, we define a Point from which to begin. Extend the point to form a Line of a set length. Extend the line to form a Plane of a set area; a Triangle with 3 sides of equal length. Extend the plane to form an Object of a set volume; a tetrahedron with 4 faces of equal area. The Tetrahedron is the simplest, most irreducible unit of 3-dimensional space. Flip the Tetrahedron vertically about its center to form a Star Tetrahedron. Rotate the Star Tetrahedron 360° about its center while spinning upon an axis to form a Star Tetrahedron circumscribed by a Sphere. The surface of the sphere is the 1st Dimensional Plane of physical space. [please purchase to continue]

This is the first volume to include all of the existing work by Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States and the father of American architecture. Along with his numerous political achievements, Thomas Jefferson was also the first great architect of the United States. The Jeffersonian Classical style has been so influential that along with Frank Lloyd Wright and Philip Johnson, Jefferson is one of the three most recognized architects in American History.
