Art and Anarchy
ISBN: 9780810106628 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Will works of the imagination ever regain the power they once had to challenge and mould society and the individual? This was the question posed by Edgar Wind's influential Reith Lectures delivered in 1960 and later expanded into his book Art and Anarchy. The book examines the various forces that have fashioned the modern view of the art, from mechanization and fear of intellect to connoisseurship and--perhaps the fundamental weakness of our age--the dispassionate acceptance of art. In the course of his discussion, Wind surveyed a wide range of topics in the history of painting,...

Applying current comparative and theoretical perspectives, they consider contexts ranging from the fourth millennium B.C. to the nineteenth century A.D., spanning cultures from the ancient Mediterranean to Oceania, West Africa,...

C.R. Mackintosh: The Poetics of Workmanship
ISBN: 9780948462221 / Angielski / Miękka / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Between 1896 and 1906, Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868 1928) produced a series of buildings and interiors in and around Glasgow of such startling invention that he immediately established himself as one of the truly great figures in early twentieth-century architecture and design. David Brett argues that Mackintosh's originality was grounded in a highly subjective "poetics of workmanship," in which the structure, features, interiors and furnishings of each individual building became subject to a unifying system of forms, metaphors and unconscious associations. The system Mackintosh evolved...

Architecture Exploration for Embedded Processors with Lisa
ISBN: 9781402073380 / Angielski / Twarda / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Already today more than 90% of all programmable processors are employed in embedded systems. This number is actually not surprising, contemplating that in a typical home you might find one or two PCs equipped with high of embedded systems, performance standard processors, but probably dozens including electronic entertainment, household, and telecom devices, each of them equipped with one or more embedded processors. Moreover, the elec tronic components of upper-class cars incorporate easily over one hundred pro cessors. Hence, efficient embedded processor design is certainly an area worth...

Lighting Design Handbook
ISBN: 9781410217912 / Angielski / Miękka / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. With the advent of increasingly more efficient light sources, interior lighting levels have continued to rise dramatically. However, in many cases these higher lighting levels caused more complaints than the previously lower lighting levels. This was because many of the lighting engineers who designed the newer lighting layouts ignored, or were ignorant of, many parameters that need to be considered other than illumination levels. A knowledgeable background in lighting fundamentals includes a thorough understanding of such topics as equivalent sphere illumination, visual comfort probability,...

Design Guide for Reducing Transportation Noise in and Around Buildings
ISBN: 9781410225627 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This design guide presents a unified procedure for the selection of noise criteria in and around buildings, for the prediction of exterior and interior noise levels arising as a consequence of transportation systems operations, and for the evaluation of the adequacy of building designs with regard to environmental noise. Noise criterion levels are suggested in terms of equivalent sound levels (Leq). Simplified predictive methods enable the estimation of noise levels arising as a consequence of highway, railway, and aircraft operations. The sound isolation provided by the building shell is...

Power, Identity, and the Rise of Modern Architecture: from Siam to Thailand
ISBN: 9781581122015 / Angielski / Miękka / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Modern architecture is a creation of the West. In a non-Western context, it normally reflects a direct intervention of Western powers through colonization. Thailand, formerly known as Siam, is an exception. Thai people have argued that they adopted and assimilated modern architecture into their unique cultural tradition without being physically colonized. The shift toward Western culture and Modernity is evident in 19th and 20th century Thai architecture, particularly in the capitol city of Bangkok. Major public buildings signify the country's domestic political circumstances, its...

Finland: Modern Architectures in History
ISBN: 9781861892508 / Angielski / Miękka / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Buildings speak volumes, not just about their occupants or owners, but about the countries in which they exist.

Nearly all of the country's buildings were constructed after 1917, when Finland gained its independence from Russia. The resulting...

Further, architecture can be a tool of human selfunderstanding in the world. Understanding this connection can lead to a conscious construction of environment. The study of ontology in the context of architecture seeks to develop tools that help create this environment of self-awareness and awareness of an ontic-ontological reality. The...

Machines as Agency: Artistic Perspectives
ISBN: 9783899426465 / Angielski / Miękka / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book supports and deepens the existing interfaces between art, science, and technology - transgressing traditional principles and styles of research, and selectively overcoming the side-by-side coexistence in favour of an integrated "laboratory of the future." Instead of relying on traditional dualisms like nature-culture, subject-object, as well as man and machine, heterogeneous networks with humans and non-humans (Latour) are opened in shared contexts of agency. New momentary propositions are developed, meeting the complexity of discovering, exploring, and inventing - things: things...
