Remix Theory : The Aesthetics of Sampling
ISBN: 9783990434994 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Remix Theory: The Aesthetics of Sampling is an analysis of Remix in art, music, and new media. Navas argues that Remix, as a form of discourse, affects culture in ways that go beyond the basic recombination of material. His investigation locates the roots of Remix in early forms of mechanical reproduction, in seven stages, beginning in the nineteenth century with the development of the photo camera and the phonograph, leading to contemporary remix culture. This book places particular emphasis on the rise of Remix in music during the 1970s and '80s in relation to art and media at the beginning...

Exit-Architektur : Design zwischen Krieg und Frieden
ISBN: 9783990431528 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 121 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "First we shape things, then they shape us," wusste Winston Churchill. Was sind wahrhaft pragende Architekturen? Wen pragen sie? Und womit pragen sie? Der Autor gibt folgende uberraschende Antwort auf diese Fragen: durch Kriegs- bzw. Stressnahe. Nach einer Tour d'horizon durch romische Tempelbauten, Washingtons Korridore der Macht und Mekkas Anti-Panikarchitekturen wird deutlich: die Architektur ist alles andere als Background. Sie steht mitten auf dem heissen Pol der Transmissionsdynamik und vermag Kulturen, Imperien, ja Religionen zu andern."

Stones of Empire: The Buildings of the Raj
ISBN: 9780192805966 / Angielski / Miękka / 243 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. No empire in history built so variously as the British empire in India. The buildings there attest to the richness of an imperial presence that lasted--from the first trading settlement to the end of the Raj--some three hundred years. The attitude of the British to India was compounded partly of arrogance, but partly also of homesickness, and it shows in their constructions. Georgian terraces were adapted to tropical conditions, Victorian railway stations were elaborately orientalized, seaside villas were adjusted to suit Himalayan conditions, and everywhere the fundamental ambivalence of the...

Accountability Technologies: Tools for Asking Hard Questions
ISBN: 9783990435397 / Angielski / Miękka / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A growing part of the public is concerned about cities being designed and governed in a responsible way. In the contemporary information society, however, the democratic obligation of the citizens to inform themselves thoroughly, so that they can participate in public affairs has become impossible to fulfill. Rather than submitting to the opinions of self-proclaimed experts, citizens need new ways to make sense of what is going on around them. Accountability technologies stand for new innovative approaches to bottom-up governance: technologies to monitor those in power and hold them...

Otto Wagner, Adolf Loos, and the Road to Modern Architecture
ISBN: 9780521623469 / Angielski / Twarda / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Contemporary architectural theory emphasizes the importance of "tectonics," the term used to articulate the relationship among construction, structure, and architectural expression. Yet, little consideration has been given to the term's origins or historical significance. In this study, Oechslin examines the attempts by early Modern theoreticians of architecture to grapple with the relationship between appearance and essence. He locates the culmination of this search for "truth" in architectural expression in the work of Adolf Loos and the writings of theorists such as Botticher, Le...

He also shows how the effects of these sanctuaries on civic religious life were hugely important and influential, and shaped the way that citizens conceived of their city and of themselves. This book should be of interest to:...

Daylight Design of Buildings: A Handbook for Architects and Engineers
ISBN: 9781873936887 / Angielski / Miękka / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. To complement the critical and objective view gleaned from the study of some sixty buildings, this design manual has been developed to provide a more synthetic approach to the principles which lie behind successful daylight design. These principles are illustrated with examples drawn from the case study buildings. The emphasis throughout has been on practical methods to improve design, rather than techniques studied for any intrinsic interest. The book provides the necessary tools to assist the designer to provide well daylit interiors, and shows that good daylight design is not a restriction...
