Book Description
This important book by Klaske Havik participates in the growing conversation about the relationships between natural (metaphoric) language and architecture. Understanding the primacy of the relationships between language and design in continuity to phenomenology’s living bodily consciousness, she distances herself from previous semiotic and poststructuralist positions. The book offers valuable insights into the possibilities of literary language to generate more poetic and culturally significant environments.

Architectural Affects after Deleuze and Guattari
Author: Marko Jobst
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000289095
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
Architectural Affects after Deleuze and Guattari is the first sustained survey into ways of theorising affect in architecture. It reflects on the legacy and influence of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari in the uptake of affect in architectural discourse and practice, and stresses the importance of the political in discussions of affect. It is a timely antidote to an enduring fixation on architectural phenomenology in the field. The contributors offer a variety of approaches to the challenges presented in discussing the relation between affect and architecture, and how this is contextualised in the broader field of affect studies. Ranging from evaluations of architectural and urban productions and practices, to inquiries into architectural experience, to modes of affective inquiry in education, to experimental affective writing, each contribution to this seminal volume suggests ways of developing a more sustained approach to a crucial thematic domain. The volume will be of use to students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels; researchers, theorists and historians of architecture and related urban and spatial disciplines; the fields of social science and cultural theory; and to philosophy, in particular the studies of Deleuze and Guattari, and Baruch Spinoza.

Philosophical Hermeneutics and the Architecture of Álvaro Siza
Author: Sally J. Faulder
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040277241
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
This book presents an original study of the work of Pritzker Prize-winning Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza from the perspective of architecture as an interpretation of human life. It combines philosophical hermeneutics, narrative textual description, and history and theory research to provide a rich account of Siza’s work. The book gives a detailed analysis of three of Siza’s works from this perspective: the Tidal Pool (Piscina das Marés) in Leça da Palmeira, Portugal; the Galician Centre of Contemporary Art (Centro Galego de Arte Contemporánea) in Santiago de Compostela, Spain; and the Santa Maria Church in Marco de Canaveses, Portugal. This form of analysis provides insight into the unique temporal dimension of Siza’s work, both in the memory inscribed by the structure and in how what is inscribed is revealed by degrees to those who come into contact with it. Drawing on Hans-Georg Gadamer and Paul Ricoeur, this book defines both building and inhabiting as acts of interpretation. Through employing the technique of writing architecture as a mode of phenomenological description, the book uses one form of creative configuration – narrative – to draw out the meaning inscribed in another form of creative configuration – architecture. The book contributes a unique perspective to scholarship on Siza and an in-depth study to the growing field of hermeneutics of architecture. It will be of interest to researchers and students of architecture and philosophy.

From Models to Drawings
Author: Marco Frascari
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134719558
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
This edited collection addresses the vital role of the imagination in the critical interpretation of architectural representations. By challenging the contemporary tendency for computer-aided drawings to become mere ‘models’ for imitation in the construction of buildings, the articles explore the broader range of methods and meanings at stake in the creation and interpretation of architectural drawings, models, images and artefacts. These critical – and often practice-led – investigations are placed alongside a range of historical studies considering the development of representational techniques such as perspective, orthography and diagramming. By also addressing the use of visual representation in a number of related disciplines such as visual arts, film, performance and literature, the book opens up debates in architecture to important developments in other fields. This book is key reading for all students of architecture and architectural theory.
