The Hybrid Practitioner
Exploring different, interrelated roles for the architect and researcher The practice of architecture manifests in myriad forms and engagements. Overcoming false divides, this volume frames the fertile relationship between the cultural and scholarly production of academia and the process of designing and building in the material world. It proposes the concept of the hybrid practitioner, who bridges the gap between academia and practice by considering how different aspects of architectural practice, theory, and history intersect, opening up a fascinating array of possibilities for an active engagement with the present. The book explores different, interrelated roles for practicing architects ...
The Power of Urban Water
Water is a global resource for modern societies - and water was a global resource for pre-modern societies. The many different water systems serving processes of urbanisation and urban life in ancient times and the Middle Ages have hardly been researched until now. The numerous contributions to this volume pose questions such as what the basic cultural significance of water was, the power of water, in the town and for the town, from different points of view. Symbolic, aesthetic, and cult aspects are taken up, as is the role of water in politics, society, and economy, in daily life, but also in processes of urban planning or in urban neighbourhoods. Not least, the dangers of polluted water or of flooding presented a challenge to urban society. The contributions in this volume draw attention to the complex, manifold relations between water and human beings. This collection presents the results of an international conference in Kiel in 2018. It is directed towards both scholars in ancient and mediaeval studies and all those interested in the diversity of water systems in urban space in ancient and mediaeval times.
Art of the Hellenistic Kingdoms
This handsome newly designed addition to The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s symposia series furthers the study of one of the most influential but less known periods of Greek art and culture. It is based on papers given at a two-day scholarly symposium held in conjunction with the award-winning exhibition “Pergamon and the Hellenistic Kingdoms of the Ancient World,” on view at the Metropolitan in 2016. The twenty diverse essays exemplify the international scope of the Hellenistic arts, which cover the three centuries between the death of Alexander the Great in 323 B.C. and the suicide of Cleopatra in 30 B.C. Subjects range from twenty-first century approaches to museum displays of archaeo...
Alle Radici dell'Identità Nazionale
"Una d'arme, di lingua, d'altare/di memorie, di sangue e di cor". Così, in "Marzo 1821", Alessandro Manzoni inneggiava all'Italia da costruire, dimostrando che quell'Italia, di fatto, già esisteva. Oggi più che mai, in occasione dei centocinquant'anni dell'Unità del nostro Paese, è giusto fermarsi a riflettere sul concetto di nazione che le arti hanno vagheggiato e realizzato ben prima che a dargli concretezza pensassero le vicende risorgimentali. Proprio al "prima", alla nazione-idea, è dedicata la mostra "Alle radici dell'Identità nazionale", che spazia dal sentimento di Italia alla sua immagine esportata all'estero, prima ancora, appunto, che fosse "portata" al suo interno. A esser...
