Book Synopsis Gnostic Architecture by : Eric Owen Moss
Download or read book Gnostic Architecture written by Eric Owen Moss and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive statement of Eric Owen Moss's design theory, Gnostic Architecture seeks to expand the discussion of contemporary architecture beyond debates over style or ideology. It does so, however, not by turning to conventional site analysis or fashionable intellectual trends for support but by emphasizing the architect's personal approach to the act of building. "Gnostic architecture," Moss says, "is not about faith in a movement, a methodology, a process, a technique, or technology. It is a strategy for keeping architecture in a perpetual state of motion." While Moss's gnostic approach keeps the practice of architecture on the move, it nevertheless focuses on fundamental questions that face all architects, questions that, as he says, separate architects from those who just happen to do architecture. Gnosticism allows the architect to ignore the contradictions and confusions encountered along the path that is the practice of architecture, so that he or she may rely on individual, internally derived design methods. The measure of an architect's integrity is thus dependent on his or her own internal compass and not on external factors. The book, with its unique, trapezoidal shape and suggestive visual character, gives uncanny material expression to Moss's gnosticism.

The art program is expanded, including 640 black and white images and 62 new color images. Accessible and engaging, American Architecture continues to set the standard as a guide, study, and reference for those seeking to better understand the rich history of architecture in the United States.

Book Synopsis Analysing Architecture by : Simon Unwin
Download or read book Analysing Architecture written by Simon Unwin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-17 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in its fourth edition, Analysing Architecture has become internationally established as the best introduction to architecture. Aimed primarily at those wishing to become professional architects, it also offers those in disciplines related to architecture (from archaeology to stage design, garden design to installation art), a clear and accessible insight into the workings of this rich and fascinating subject. With copious illustrations from his own notebooks, the author dissects examples from around the world and all periods of history to explain underlying strategies in architectural design and show how drawing may be used as a medium for analysis. This new edition of Analysing Architecture is revised and expanded. Notably, the chapter on ‘Basic Elements of Architecture’ has been enlarged to discuss the ‘powers’ various architectural elements offer the architect. Three new chapters have been added to the section on ‘Themes in Spatial Organisation’, covering ‘Occupying the In-between’, ‘Inhabited Wall’ and ‘Refuge and Prospect’. Two new examples – a Mud House from Kerala, India and the Mongyo-tei (a tea house) from Kyoto, Japan – have been added to the ‘Case Studies’ at the end of the book. The ‘Select Bibliography’ has been expanded and the ‘Index’ revised. Works of architecture are instruments for managing, orchestrating, modifying our relationship with the world around us. They frame just about everything we do. Architecture is complex, subtle, frustrating... but ultimately extremely rewarding. It can be a difficult discipline to get to grips with; nothing in school quite prepares anyone for the particular demands of an architecture course. But this book will help. Analysing Architecture is the foundation volume of a series of books by Simon Unwin exploring the workings of architecture. Other books in the series include Twenty Buildings Every Architect Should Understand and Exercises in Architecture.
Book Synopsis North American Architecture Trends, 1990-2000 by : Luca Molinari
Download or read book North American Architecture Trends, 1990-2000 written by Luca Molinari and published by Skira. This book was released on 2001 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains a selection of 18 projects completed in North America by American architects and offers the broadest possible overview of the vast and complex architectural output of the 1990s. This decade marked an important transitional phase and the metamorphosis of the work of the American masters of the 1960s and 1970s (e. g. Robert Venturi, Cesar Pelli, Charles Gwathmey) with the full affirmation of new masters (e. g. Frank Gehry, Steven Holl and Peter Eisenman) and the emergence of new generations represented by Asymptote, William and Tsien, Ro. To. and Erik Owen Moss. This journey through contemporary American architecture also tries to tell of a new geographical complexity no longer restricted to the major urban centres - the traditional locations for avant- garde architecture e. g. New York and Los Angeles. It has thus been extended to show the work of the Patkau group in Canada, Will Bruder in Arizona and Antoine Predock in New Mexico as new examples of research attentive to traditional production and to the context. Also of interest are the various building types represented, ranging from new museum complexes (e. g. Richard Meier's Getty Center, Robert Venturi's ethnographic museum in Seattle and Frank Gehry's Weisman Art Center) to residential projects (e. g. Erik Owen Moss's Samitaur, a New York residence by William and Tsien and the Carlson- Reges residence in Los Angeles by Ro. To.) and a number of public works such as Bruder's new library in Phoenix, the extension of the New York Stock Exchange by Asymptote and Steven Holl's chapel of St. Ignatius in Seattle.

Book Synopsis The Havana Project by : Peter Noever
Download or read book The Havana Project written by Peter Noever and published by Prestel Publishing. This book was released on 1996 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The city of Havana represents a real challenge to contemporary architects. Havana has a rich and diverse heritage with its cultural roots in Andalusia, Africa, the Caribbean, the United States and Soviet Russia, yet many of its historic (16th-19th century) buildings are in need of conservation and restoration. It has slums and a great need for housing, urban infrastructure (sewerage system, transportation), and it must cater for its growing tourist industry. In 1982, Havana was designated a Monument of World Heritage by UNESCO. In 1992, a team of international architects met in Vienna for a small, visionary conference to discuss the future of architecture. The influential findings of this conference were published by Prestel under the provocative title "The End of Architecture". For "The Havana Project: Architecture Again", many of the same team assembled once again in January 1995. This time they met to examine the specific and urgent project of Havana as a model that epitomized many of the problems that are facing and will face architects in cities all over the world in the later-20th and the 21st century. The team members were originally chosen for their differing perspectives on the artistic, social and political issues in contemporary architecture and the broad spectrum of experience they could contribute. For "The Havana Project", the conference delegates each designed a project to be in harmony with the many-faceted cultural background of Havana, and to endeavour to provide new architectural impetus and direction for the city. In the book, the contributors discuss the many cultural, political and artistic forces they considered, and how they combined and integrated each of them within their designs. This book enables students of architecture, design theory and city planning to see how they combined and integrated each of them within their designs. This book enables students of architecture, design theory, and city planning to see how prominent international experts tackle the contemporary problems of their art. It is illustrated with detailed drawings, plans and perspective sketches of each design.
