Abstract

Ranging from Homer to Picasso, and from the Iranian Revolution to The Wizard of Oz, this spirited and radiant book awakens us anew to the role of color in our livesOur lives are saturated by color. We live in a world of vivid colors, and color marks our psychological and social existence. But for all color's inescapability, we don't know much about it. Now authors David Scott Kastan and Stephen Farthing offer a fresh and imaginative exploration of one of the most intriguing and least understood aspects of everyday experience.Kastan and Farthing, a scholar and a painter, respectively, investigate color from numerous perspectives: literary, historical, cultural, anthropological, philosophical, art historical, political, and scientific. In ten lively and wide-ranging chapters, each devoted to a different color, they examine the various ways colors have shaped and continue to shape our social and moral imaginations. Each individual color becomes the focal point for a consideration of one of the extraordinary ways in which color appears and matters in our lives. Beautifully produced in full color, this book is a remarkably smart, entertaining, and fascinating guide to this elusive topic.

Abstract

A room's acoustic character seems at once the most technical and the most mystical of concerns. Since the early Enlightenment, European architects have systematically endeavored to represent and control the propagation of sound in large interior spaces. Their work has been informed by the science of sound but has also been entangled with debates on style, visualization techniques, performance practices, and the expansion of the listening public. Echo's Chambers explores how architectural experimentation from the seventeenth through the mid-twentieth centuries laid the groundwork for concepts of acoustic space that are widely embraced in contemporary culture. It focuses on the role of echo and reverberation in the architecture of Pierre Patte, Claude-Nicolas Ledoux, Carl Ferdinand Langhans, and Le Corbusier, as well as the influential acoustic ideas of Athanasius Kircher, Richard Wagner, and Marshall McLuhan. Drawing on interdisciplinary theories of media and auditory culture, Joseph L. Clarke reveals how architecture has impacted the ways we continue to listen to, talk about, and creatively manipulate sound in the physical environment.

Abstract

Very few doctoral dissertations make for great books, books that readers cherish: architect Elias Torresís Zenithal Light is one of them. This album of thousands of photographs collected over years of research and travel, carefully classified, sometimes more than ten to a page, catalogues the tremendous variety of spaces that generate zenithal light, sunlight captured filtering downward from domes, skylights, towers and the tops of alleyways. Torres begins with intimate interior spaces and concludes in open city streets; in every case the effect is beautiful. The book's final chapter continues his playful codification, offering schematic drawings to accompany photographs of 11 cardboard boxes Torres filled with a wide variety of familiar, funny and strange objects and pierced to allow viewers to observe the effects of the zenithal light filtering through their interiors. A die-cut foldout cover allows readers to demonstrate the property themselves. (Copié du site http://www.amazon.fr)
