Abstract

Cognitive Architecture questions of how evolving modalities – from bio-politics to noo-politics – can be mapped upon the city under contemporary conditions of urbanization and globalization. Noo-politics, most broadly understood as a power exerted over the life of the mind, re-configures perception, memory and attention, and also implicates potential ways and means by which neurobiological architecture is undergoing reconfiguration. This volume, motivated by theories such as ‘cognitive capitalism’ and concepts such as ‘neural plasticity’, shows how architecture and urban processes and products commingle to form complex systems that produce novel forms of networks that empower the imagination and constitute the cultural landscape. This volume rethinks the relations between form and forms of communication, calling for a new logic of representation; it examines the manner in which information, with its non-hierarchical and distributed format is contributing both to the sculpting of brain and production of mind. Cognitive Architecture brings together renowned specialists in the areas of political and aesthetic philosophy, neuroscience, socio-cultural and architecture theory, visual and spatial theorists and practitioners; the contributions elucidate original ideas for thinking the city as a framework for possible gestations of noo-politics.

Abstract

The Danish artist Asger Jorn is primarily known as a painter who was active in the Høst, Cobra and the Situationist International groups. The numerous leaflets, exhibition catalogues, interviews, articles and books he wrote throughout his entire career attest to his vast literary output and his urge to provoke debate at all social levels. Fraternité Avant Tout (above all – unity) is an anthology of Asger Jorn’s writings on art and architecture translated into English for the first time. Asger Jorn’s statement, ‘In the beginning there was the image’, represents both the starting point for discussions with his contemporaries and also the key element in his overall philosophy. After more than half a century, his groundbreaking theory on image creation coupled with his Marxist political convictions are strikingly fresh and apposite. His arguments on the image and imagery, not only as a medium for artistic imagination and aesthetic articulation but also as a critical instrument for progress in human life, strike immediate resonances today when image based popular cultures and technologies exert an undeniable influence on our own society. Jorn’s writings also shed new light on the origin and development of the Situationist movement’s theory of architecture and urbanism. This is especially pertinent in the context of recent scholarly work on the Situationist International in which Jorn is often characterized ‘only’ as the artistic impresario. The critical introduction to Jorn’s philosophy on the relationship between art and architecture sets a context for a contemporary audience so that it can fully appreciate how his thoughts and writing evolved.

Abstract

Compleet overzicht van een van de grondleggers van de Amsterdamse School Joan Melchior van der Meij (1878-1949) staat, als architect van het Scheepvaarthuis in Amsterdam, bekend als een van de grondleggers van de Amsterdamse School. Terwijl zijn collega's Michel de Klerk en Piet Kramer wereldberoemd zijn geworden, is het leven en werk van Van der Meij altijd in de schaduw blijven staan. Een nieuw standaardwerk over een van Nederlands belangrijkste architecten brengt hierin verandering. Architectuurhistoricus Michiel Kruidenier en vormgever Paul Smeets werpen aan de hand van talloze, nooit eerder gepubliceerde tekeningen, brieven en foto's nieuw licht op de Amsterdamse School en de rol van Van der Meij binnen de Nederlandse architectuurgeschiedenis. Het boek beschrijft niet alleen het turbulente leven van Van der Meij, vol roem en succes, rampspoed en financiële sores, maar bevat tevens een compleet overzicht van zijn werk.
