Book excerpt: "Ciudad Moderna is the title of an exhibition by Terence Gower presented at the Laboratorio Arte Alameda (México City, 2005). It is also the title of the exhibition's central video work. This 6:20 minute video is a montage based on the 1966 Mexican movie, Despedida de casada (Hen Night for a Bride), directed by Juan de Orduña. The film itself--a manic but mediocre comedy of errors--is typical of the period, down to its choice of jazzy locations amid the emblematic works of modernist Mexican architecture: the Museum of Anthropology, a home in the Pedregal development, a functionalist building on Avenida Reforma, the Hotel Presidente in Acapulco. Gower brings background architecture and design to the fore, isolating them from the narrative flow. Through editing and digital manipulation, images are pared down to essentials, the architecture is stripped of ornament, and the superfluous, random, everyday signs of human habitation are removed." --page 71.

This book was released on 2019-06-20 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last two decades have been marked by intense and accelerated economic, political, and cultural processes that have affected urban spaces. These changes have occurred in different parts of cities (traditional centers, edges, peripheries) and at different levels of the urban system (large and medium-sized cities and in their respective areas of influence). Possibly the clearest expression of the spatial effects on cities can be perceived in their morphological transformations, their territorial dimensions, or in their social problems. Until 2008, urban–territorial processes were a reflection of the logic and inconsistencies of an expansive economic context and of a structural context that favored the development of cities through concurrent processes and actors. As a result, the built land and amount of urbanized and built surfaces increased, together with processes of the expansion and modernization of cities. Since 2008, the expansive economic cycle has ended, and there have been diverse negative consequences. Notably, the construction sector has come to an abrupt halt. Access to credit has also been reduced, and unemployment has increased. The economic recession has caused sociodemographic and socioeconomic issues exemplified by housing vulnerability, with dispossession, evictions, a shortage of social housing, and energy poverty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2020 SAMLA Studies Book Award — Edited Collection Cities both near and far communicate in a variety of ways. Travel between, through, and among urban centers initiates contact, and cities themselves are sites of ever-changing cultural and historical encounters. Predictable and surprising challenges and opportunities arise when city borders are crossed, voices meet, and artistic traditions find their counterparts. Using the Latin word for “translation,” translatio, or “to carry across,” as a point of departure, Avenues of Translation explores how translation perpetuates, diversifies, deepens, and expands the literary production of cities in their greater cultural context, and how translation shapes an understanding of and access to a city's past and present literary and cultural practices. Thinking about translation and the city is a way to tell the backstories of the cities, texts, and authors that are united by acts of translation. Published by Bucknell University Press. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These essays, from leading names in the field, weave together the parallels and differences between the past and present of civic art. Offering prospects for the first decades of the twenty-first century, the authors open up a broad international dialogue on civic art, which relates historical practice to the contemporary meaning of civic art and its application to community building within today’s multi-cultural modern cities. The volume brings together the rich perspectives on the thought, practice and influence of leading figures from the great era of civic art that began in the nineteenth century and blossomed in the early twentieth century as documented in the works of Werner Hegemann and his contemporaries and considered fundamental to contemporary practice.

This book was released on 2024-08-06 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global climate change and the war in Ukraine have put energy back on the agenda for Europe in a way that has not been seen since the oil crisis of the 1970s. But the economics and business of supplying energy to Europe has a long and rich history going back to the nineteenth century. This book explores changes in energy markets, strategies, firms and investments during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The primary focus is on manufactured gas—the gas that was initially produced from coal distillation until new ways of manufacturing gas emerged after the Second World War. The expert contributors to this volume draw on their extensive research and utilise primary sources to explore a wide range of issues, including technological adaptation, market regulation, energy investments (particularly the role of foreign capital), gas consumption and supply issues. The case studies are particularly drawn from Spain, France and Italy, but the authors provide a comparative and global perspective to consider the wider context. The volume closes with an epilogue that brings the story into the present day to consider current issues affecting gas markets in the EU, including war, geostrategy and pipelines. This book will be of interest to readers in economic history, business history, energy history, the history of public utilities and modern European history more broadly.

Book excerpt: Los Inicios del Arte Otomano: La herencia de los emiratos presenta las expresiones artísticas y arquitectónicas del oeste de Anatolia y el surgimiento de la dinastía otomana en los siglos XIV y XV. Los emiratos turcos desarrollaron una nueva síntesis estilística de las tradiciones centro-asiática y selyúcida con el legado de las civilizaciones griega, romana y bizantina. Los esquemas arquitectónicos de las mezquitas, los hammam, hospitales, madrasas, mausoleos y grandes complejos religiosos, las columnas y cúpulas, la decoración floral y caligráfica, la cerámica y la iluminación atestiguan la riqueza de estilos. El florecimiento cultural y artístico que acompañó al surgimiento del Imperio Otomano estuvo profundamente marcado por la herencia de los Emiratos. Ocho recorridos le invitan a descubrir 61 museos, monumentos y yacimientos en Milas, Selçuk, Manisa, Bursa, Iznik, Karacabey, Çanakkale, Gelibolu y Edirne, entre otras localidades.

Book excerpt: The miraculous story of Madrid--how a village became a great world city For centuries Madrid was an insignificant settlement on the central Iberian plateau. Under its Muslim rulers the town was fortified and enlarged, but even after the Reconquista it remained secondary to nearby Toledo. But Madrid's fortunes dramatically shifted in the sixteenth century, becoming the centre of a vast global empire. Luke Stegemann tells the surprising story of Madrid's flourishing, and its outsize influence across the world. From Cervantes and Quevedo to Velázquez and Goya, Spain's capital has been home to some of Europe's most influential artists and thinkers. It formed a vital link between Europe and the Americas and became a cauldron of political dissent--not least during the Spanish Civil War, when the city was on the frontline in the fight against fascism. Stegemann places Madrid and its people in global context, showing how the city--fast overtaking Barcelona as a centre of international finance and cultural tourism--has become a melting pot at the heart of Europe and the wider Hispanic world.
