Le Corbusier in the Antipodes Art Architecture and Urbanism

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

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

Sensing the World An Anthropology of the Senses

Sensing the World An Anthropology of the Senses

Sensing the World: An Anthropology of the Senses is a highly original and comprehensive overview of the anthropology and sociology of the body and the senses. Discussing each sense in turn – seeing hearing touch smell and taste – Le Breton has written a truly monumental work vast in scope and deeply engaging in style. Among other pioneering moves he gives equal attention to light and darkness sound and silence and his disputation of taste explores aspects of disgust and revulsion. Part phenomenological part historical this is above all a cultural account of perception which returns the body and the senses to the center of social life. Le Breton is the leading authority on the anthropology of the body and the senses in French academia. With a repute comparable to the late Pierre Bourdieu his 30+ books have been translated into numerous languages. This is the first of his works to be made available in English. This sensuously nuanced translation of La Saveur du monde is accompanied by a spicy preface from series editor David Howes who introduces Le Breton's work to an English-speaking audience and highlights its implications for the disciplines of anthropology sociology and the cross-disciplinary field of sensory studies. | Sensing the World An Anthropology of the Senses

Bulgarian Harmony In Village Wedding and Choral Music of the Last Century

Bulgarian Harmony In Village Wedding and Choral Music of the Last Century

An in-depth study of the Bulgarian harmonic system is long overdue. More than two decades since the Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares choir was awarded a Grammy (1990) there is no scholarly study of the captivating sounds of Bulgarian vertical sonorities. Kalin Kirilov traces the gradual formation of a unique harmonic system that developed in three styles of Bulgarian music: village music from the 1930s to the 1990s wedding music from the 1970s to 2000 and choral arrangements (obrabotki) - creations of the socialist period (1944-1989) popularized by Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares. Kirilov classifies the different approaches to harmony and situates them in their historical and cultural contexts establishing new systems for analysis. In the process he introduces a new system for the categorization of scales. Kirilov argues that the ready-made concepts that are frequently forced onto Bulgarian music - ‘westernization’ ‘socialist’ or ‘Middle Eastern influence’ are not only outdated but also too vague to be of use in understanding the sophisticated modal and harmonic systems found in Bulgarian music. As an insider who has performed composed and arranged this music for 30 years Kirilov is uniquely qualified to interpret it for an international audience. | Bulgarian Harmony In Village Wedding and Choral Music of the Last Century

Building Theories Architecture as the Art of Building

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
