Download or read book Architectural Jet Lag written by Angie S.H. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-02-23 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Informative, relevant and useful, Architectural Jet Lag features the in-depth analysis of significant architectural concepts, definitions and frameworks. Written by Angie S.H., this riveting book shares a concrete idea of what architecture is and what it is not. A boon to every student, professional, and even to the academic world, this compilation can be a useful source material for everyone who has the immense interest in the industry. In this book, the author perspicaciously outlines the correlation between the human body and the theological framework of architecture. This read signifies that, just like jet lag which is the circadian clock’s out of synchronization with the destination time, as it experiences daylight and darkness contrary to the rhythms to which it has grown accustomed, the same can go for the field of architecture, hence the term Architectural Jet Lag. Angie S.H. suggests that one cannot categorize architecture as a free-flowing concept such as art – interior design, creative writing or music. Architecture follows a certain pattern that is tailor-fit to the spatial needs of individuals. Architecture as a built environment for one’s daily life requires linear and concrete alignment with his paradigm. Based on the author’s thesis, this study illustrates how architecture, as build environment, interacts with peoples’ ways of living by analyzing some case studies with their respective scientific methodology. Easing Architectural Jet Lag, this book introduces the G-ARCH solution when applying the Western advanced architecture to the Eastern culture and social logic of space. Groundbreaking and compelling, the authentic ideas in this exceptional read will transform readers’ perception and educate them about the various considerations in the intricate world of architecture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The architects Cross & Cross shaped the streetscape and skyline of New York City in the 1920s and 1930s with Upper East Side townhouses and apartment buildings, the RCA Victor Building, and Tiffany’s flagship store on 57th Street. Working through a period of American history that saw dramatic change, from luxurious apartment buildings during the economic boom of the 1920s, to federal commissions during the Depression, the brothers John and Eliot Cross were masters of their craft. Well-connected society men who also showed remarkable foresight in business, Cross & Cross supported their practice with a partnered real estate firm and played a vital role in residential developments like Sutton Place along the East River. Cross & Cross oversaw the development of handsome clubs and houses throughout New York City, including the Links Club and the Upper East Side houses of Lewis Spencer Morris and George Whitney. They designed country houses in exclusive residential pockets outside New York—the Southampton estate of Winterthur founder Henry Francis du Pont; houses on the North Shore of Long Island, and in Greenwich, Connecticut; the childhood home of Sister Parish in Far Hills, New Jersey; and the Shelburne, Vermont home of J. Watson and Electra Webb. In this first book to collect the achievements of Cross & Cross, Peter Pennoyer and Anne Walker present a comprehensive monograph of the firm’s work, with more than 300 illustrations both historic and new and a catalogue raisonné of their projects.

Download or read book The Early American Daguerreotype written by Sarah Kate Gillespie and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2016-02-12 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American daguerreotype as something completely new: a mechanical invention that produced an image, a hybrid of fine art and science and technology. The daguerreotype, invented in France, came to America in 1839. By 1851, this early photographic method had been improved by American daguerreotypists to such a degree that it was often referred to as “the American process.” The daguerreotype—now perhaps mostly associated with stiffly posed portraits of serious-visaged nineteenth-century personages—was an extremely detailed photographic image, produced though a complicated process involving a copper plate, light-sensitive chemicals, and mercury fumes. It was, as Sarah Kate Gillespie shows in this generously illustrated history, something wholly and remarkably new: a product of science and innovative technology that resulted in a visual object. It was a hybrid, with roots in both fine art and science, and it interacted in reciprocally formative ways with fine art, science, and technology. Gillespie maps the evolution of the daguerreotype, as medium and as profession, from its introduction to the ascendancy of the “American process,” tracing its relationship to other fields and the professionalization of those fields. She does so by recounting the activities of a series of American daguerreotypists, including fine artists, scientists, and mechanical tinkerers. She describes, for example, experiments undertaken by Samuel F. B. Morse as he made the transition from artist to inventor; how artists made use of the daguerreotype, both borrowing conventions from fine art and establishing new ones for a new medium; the use of the daguerreotype in various sciences, particularly astronomy; and technological innovators who drew on their work in the mechanical arts. By the 1860s, the daguerreotype had been supplanted by newer technologies. Its rise (and fall) represents an early instance of the ever-constant stream of emerging visual technologies.

Download or read book The Figure of Knowledge written by Sebastiaan Loosen and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a major challenge to write the history of post-WWII architectural theory without boiling it down to a few defining paradigms. An impressive anthologising effort during the 1990s charted architectural theory mostly via the various theoretical frameworks employed, such as critical theory, critical regionalism, deconstructivism, and pragmatism. Yet the intellectual contours of what constitutes architectural theory have been constantly in flux. It is therefore paramount to ask what kind of knowledge has become important in the recent history of architectural theory and how the resulting figure of knowledge sets the conditions for the actual arguments made. The contributions in this volume focus on institutional, geographical, rhetorical, and other conditioning factors. They thus screen the unspoken rules of engagement that postwar architectural theory ascribed to.
