Russian Architecture and the West
This is the first book to show the development of Russian architecture over the past thousand years as a part of the history of Western architecture. Dmitry Shvidkovsky, Russia’s leading architectural historian, departs from the accepted notion that Russian architecture developed independent of outside cultural influences and demonstrates that, to the contrary, the influence of the West extends back to the tenth century and continues into the present. He offers compelling assessments of all the main masterpieces of Russian architecture and frames a radically new architectural history for Russia. The book systematically analyzes Russian buildings in relation to developments in European art,...
Karel Teige, 1900-1951
"When the Communists took over Czechoslovakia in 1948. Teige was first hailed as a progressive, then denounced for not toeing the party line - even though he was never a card-carrying member of the Communist Party. He died a broken man, forbidden to speak out or to publish. Since the recovery of his work after the "velvet revolution" of 1989, his legacy has been revived not only in Prague but also in Western Europe and the United States."--BOOK JACKET.
Marbles 2
Kyle and his mother, with Kyles cat, Tingy, had arrived in India from San Francisco over a year ago. He soon met a boy named Rahip. They became very good friends. Kyle and his friend were interested in finding a certain Marble. They were lead to believe that some Marbles were mystical with powers beyond imagination. Kyle and Rahip were on a journey through enjoyment and uncertainties, while they continued to seek the four mystical marbles. Kyle had left his friends back home, but now had found new friends in places Kyle would never imagine, like those who live under the city, whose name is Dabadaman. Rahip and Kyle in seeking the marbles end up going to special places, through jungles, where they meet animals who are able to speak in human language, known to them as "Animalise". They also asked Kyle and Rahip to ride on their backs so it is faster to get to where they wish to go. The boys risk their lives trying to save many animals as well as meeting strange people who also seek the mystical marbles and go to great lengths to find them.
Thomas Jefferson, Architect
A compelling reassessment of Thomas Jefferson's architecture that scrutinizes the complex, and sometimes contradictory, meanings of his iconic work Renowned as a politician and statesman, Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) was also one of the premier architects of the early United States. Adept at reworking Renaissance--particularly Palladian--and Enlightenment ideals to the needs of the new republic, Jefferson completed visionary building projects such as his two homes, Monticello and Poplar Forest; the Capitol building in Richmond; and the University of Virginia campus. Featuring a wealth of archival images, including models, paintings, drawings, and prints, this volume presents compelling essay...
Incompiuto. La nascita di uno Stile-The birth of a style. Ediz. bilingue
&"Incompiuto. La nascita di uno stile&" è la prima e unica indagine, frutto di dieci anni di ricerca sul campo, di un fenomeno molto discusso nel nostro paese ma non ancora completamente riconosciuto: la presenza massiccia sul territorio di edifici e infrastrutture la cui realizzazione non si è mai conclusa. La dimensione del fenomeno, l&'estensione territoriale e le incredibili peculiarità architettoniche fanno dell&'Incompiuto il più importante stile architettonico italiano dal dopoguerra a oggi. Questa è la tesi che sostiene, in modo provocatorio ma ineccepibile, il gruppo di lavoro che in questi anni ha raccolto migliaia di scatti, ha vagliato centinaio di segnalazioni su tutto il territorio nazionale, a partire dalla Sicilia, per poi risalire la penisola. &"Incompiuto. La nascita di uno stile&" accompagna il lettore in un moderno Grand Tour, tra le rovine contemporanee. Testi di: Alterazioni Video, Marc Augé, Marco Biraghi, Davide Giannella, Filippo Minelli, Leoluca Orlando, Antonio Ricci, Salvatore Settis, Robert Storr, Paul Virilio, Wu Ming. Fotografie di: Alterazioni Video, Gabriele Basilico.
Soviet Architectural Avant-Gardes
Conventional readings of the history of Soviet art and architecture show modernist utopian aspirations as all but prohibited by 1932 under Stalin's totalitarianism. Soviet Architectural Avant-Gardes challenges that view. Radically redefining the historiography of the period, it reveals how the relationship between the Party and practicing architects was much more complex and contradictory than previously believed, and shows, in contrast to the conventional scholarly narrative, how the architectural avant-garde was able to persist at a time when it is widely considered to have been driven underground. In doing so, this book provides an essential perspective on how to analyse, evaluate, and â€...
