When Culture Meets Architecture

 

When Culture Meets Architecture

PDF | 19MB | 2013

As the most individualized civil architecture, buildings for cultural events are the best stage for architects to practise their dreams, to express their perceptions to architectural art and ambitions. When culture meets architecture, some memories, some scenes or an attitude will find its medium to exist as a real and touchable thing. Besides those architectures that record a history or provide information, such as museum, library, memorial, archives centre and the like, more and more multi-functions cultural centres were built in cities, where people gather together for social event, entertainment, or sports, and they are also the new plaza where people can impress their sense of the city's identification deeper.

Architecture and Nature: Creating the American Landscape

Architecture and Nature: Creating the American Landscape 

PDF | 52MB

The word 'nature' comes from natura, Latin for birth - as do the words nation, native and innate. But nature and nation share more than a common root, they share a common history where one term has been used to define the other. In the United States, the relationship between nation and nature has been central to its colonial and post-colonial history, from the idea of the noble savage to the myth of the frontier. Narrated, painted and filmed, American landscapes have been central to the construction of a national identity. Architecture and Nature presents an in-depth study of how changing ideas of what nature is and what it means for the country have been represented in buildings and landscapes over the past century.

Architecture Beyond Architecture

Architecture Beyond Architecture
Academy Group Ltd | 1995 | ISBN: 1854904434 | English | 178 Pages

This book presents the twelve projects premiated in the sixth cycle of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture. These awards are different from those given in preceding years, thus the book was a challenge from the start. In order to present what constitutes this new thinking about architecture and its content today, it was necessary to rethink the format and content of this book and its many audiences.

At no time in recent history have architecture, urban planning, rehabilitation and reconstruction been as important to the Islamic world as they are today. With great opportunities to engender positive change and build better places for everyone, architects are responding to local challenges with understanding and innovation, with global outlook and vernacular and innovative forms. These multifaceted achievements include restoration, landscape design, infrastructure and urban planning, and new buildings.

Spaces of Global Cultures: Architecture, Urbanism, Identity (Architext)

Anthony King "Spaces of Global Cultures: Architecture, Urbanism, Identity (Architext)"
Routledge | English | September 1, 2004 | ISBN: 0415196205 | 280 pages | PDF | 21,9 MB

This book brings together a series of new and historical case studies to show how different phases of globalization are transforming the built environment. Taking a broad interdisciplinary approach, the author draws on sociological, geographical, cultural and postcolonial studies to provide a critical account of the development of three key concepts: global culture, post colonialism, and modernity. Subsequent case studies examine how global economic, political and cultural forces shape the forms of architectural and urban modernity in globalized suburbs and spaces in major cities worldwide.

Legacies for the Future: Contemporary Architecture in Islamic Societies

Legacies for the Future: Contemporary Architecture in Islamic Societies
Thames & Hudson | 1998 | ISBN: 0500280878 | English | 177 Pages | 104MB | PDF

In the rapidly changing tastes and styles of Western culture, the most highly acclaimed designs in contemporary architecture are often unconnected to the social and cultural contexts from which they spring. In contrast, in Islamic societies around the world, architecture often plays a far more responsible role, responding to the immediate needs of local and personal exigencies. As a result, some of the most humanist contemporary architecture is overlooked by the fashions of today's international design periodicals.
