Architecture and the Unconscious

Architecture and the Unconscious

There are a number of recent texts that draw on psychoanalytic theory as an interpretative approach for understanding architecture or that use the formal and social logics of architecture for understanding the psyche. But there remains work to be done in bringing what largely amounts to a series of independent voices into a discourse that is greater than the sum of its parts in the way that say the architect Peter Eisenman was able to do with the architecture of deconstruction or that the historian Manfredo Tafuri was able to do with the Marxist critique of architecture. The discourse of the present volume focuses specifically for the first time on the subject of the unconscious in relation to the design perception and understanding of architecture. It brings together an international group of contributors who provide informed and varied points of view on the role of the unconscious in architectural design and theory and in doing so expand architectural theory to unexplored areas enriching architecture in relation to the humanities. The book explores how architecture engages dreams desires imagination memory and emotions how architecture can appeal to a broader scope of human experience and identity. Beginning by examining the historical development of the engagement of the unconscious in architectural discourse and the current and historical theoretical and practical intersections of architecture and psychoanalysis the volume also analyses the city and the urban condition. | Architecture and the Unconscious

Multilateral Asian Security Architecture Non-ASEAN Stakeholders

Multilateral Asian Security Architecture Non-ASEAN Stakeholders

This book provides a comparative assessment of the material and ideational contributions of five countries to the regional architecture of post-Cold War Asia. In contrast to the usual emphasis placed on the role and centrality of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Asia’s multilateral architecture and its component institutions this book argues that the four non-ASEAN countries of interest here ¾ Australia Japan China and the United States ¾ and Indonesia have played and continue to play an influential part in determining the shape and substance of Asian multilateralism from its pre-inception to the present. The work does not contend that existing scholarship overstates ASEAN’s significance to the successes and failures of Asia’s multilateral enterprise. Rather it claims that the impact of non-ASEAN stakeholders in innovating multilateral architecture in Asia has been understated. Whether ASEAN has fared well or poorly as a custodian of Asia’s regional architecture the fact remains that the countries considered here notwithstanding their present discontent over the state of that architecture are key to understanding the evolution of Asian multilateralism. This book will be of much interest to students of Asian politics international organisations security studies and IR more generally. | Multilateral Asian Security Architecture Non-ASEAN Stakeholders

Elements of Architecture Assembling archaeology atmosphere and the performance of building spaces

Elements of Architecture Assembling archaeology atmosphere and the performance of building spaces

Elements of Architecture explores new ways of engaging architecture in archaeology. It conceives of architecture both as the physical evidence of past societies and as existing beyond the physical environment considering how people in the past have not just dwelled in buildings but have existed within them. The book engages with the meeting point between these two perspectives. For although archaeologists must deal with the presence and absence of physicality as a discipline which studies humans through things to understand humans they must also address the performances as well as temporal and affective impacts of these material remains. The contributions in this volume investigate the way time performance and movement both physically and emotionally are central aspects of understanding architectural assemblages. It is a book about the constellations of people places and things that emerge and dissolve as affective mobile performative and temporal engagements. This volume juxtaposes archaeological research with perspectives from anthropology architecture cultural geography and philosophy in order to explore the kaleidoscopic intersections of elements coming together in architecture. Documenting the ephemeral relational and emotional meeting points with a category of material objects that have defined much research into what it means to be human Elements of Architecture elucidates and expands upon a crucial body of evidence which allows us to explore the lives and interactions of past societies. | Elements of Architecture Assembling archaeology atmosphere and the performance of building spaces

Transcultural Architecture The Limits and Opportunities of Critical Regionalism

Transcultural Architecture The Limits and Opportunities of Critical Regionalism

Critical Regionalism is a notion which gained popularity in architectural debate as a synthesis of universal 'modern' elements and individualistic elements derived from local cultures. This book shifts the focus from Critical Regionalism towards a broader concept of 'Transcultural Architecture' and defines Critical Regionalism as a subgroup of the latter. One of the benefits that this change of perspective brings about is that a large part of the political agenda of Critical Regionalism which consists of resisting attitudes forged by typically Western experiences is 'softened' and negotiated according to premises provided by local circumstances. A further benefit is that several responses dependent on factors that initial definitions of Critical Regionalism never took into account can now be considered. At the book’s centre is an analysis of Reima and Raili Pietil¤’s Sief Palace Area project in Kuwait. Further cases of modern architecture in China Korea and Saudi Arabia show that the critique which holds that Critical Regionalism is a typical 'western' exercise is not sound in all circumstances. The book argues that there are different Critical Regionalisms and not all of them impose Western paradigms on non-Western cultures. Non-Western regionalists can also successfully participate in the Western enlightened discourse even when they do not directly and consciously act against Western models. Furthermore the book proposes that a certain 'architectural rationality' can be contained in architecture itself - not imposed by outside parameters like aesthetics comfort or even tradition but flowing out of a social game of which architecture is a part. The key concept is that of the 'form of life' as developed by Ludwig Wittgenstein whose thoughts are here linked to Critical Regionalism. Kenneth Frampton argues that Critical Regionalism offers something well beyond comfort and accommodation. What he has in mind are ethical prescripts closely linked to a | Transcultural Architecture The Limits and Opportunities of Critical Regionalism

The Concept of Enterprise Architecture from Theory to Practice

The Concept of Enterprise Architecture from Theory to Practice

Even though the field of enterprise architecture (EA) has matured many organisations still struggle with its development and implementation particularly those organisations involved in continuous transformational cycles and subjected to different environmental trends. This book is intended to assist organisations in getting a grip on the factors influencing EA implementation and gaining a deeper understanding of why things happen the way they do in the practice of EA. It is a comprehensive and definitive resource that is useful to both business professionals and academics. The book presents an approach for the development implementation or institutionalisation of EA that is independent of any method or other architecture frameworks. It can be applied directly using a realistic selection of organizational variables. The approach has two distinctive features that support EA even in complex environments: From both technical and non-technical perspectives it identifies influencing factors and how they manifest in the practice of EA in an organization It offers linear and practical mechanisms for developing and implementing EA to fortify the practice of the concept in an organisation This approach represents a significant contribution to EA. Starting with descriptions for EA the book offers deepened models and frameworks for the development and implementation of EA at the domain level. It also covers factors upon which a model is built for the institutionalisation of the concept. Additionally the book discusses the implications of EA for sponsors architects and other stakeholders responsible for EA development implementation and institutionalisation. | The Concept of Enterprise Architecture from Theory to Practice

Victorian Perceptions of Renaissance Architecture

Victorian Perceptions of Renaissance Architecture

In the mid-1880s The Builder an influential British architectural journal published an article characterizing Renaissance architecture as a corrupt bastardization of the classical architecture of Greece and Rome. By the turn of the century however the same journal praised the Renaissance architect Filippo Brunelleschi as the ’Christopher Columbus of modern architecture. ’ Victorian Perceptions of Renaissance Architecture 1850-1914 examines these conflicting characterizations and reveals how the writing of architectural history was intimately tied to the rise of the professional architect and the formalization of architectural education in late nineteenth-century Britain. Drawing on a broad range of evidence including literary texts professional journals university curricula and census records Victorian Perceptions reframes works by seminal authors such as John Ruskin Walter Pater John Addington Symonds and Geoffrey Scott alongside those by architect-authors such as William J. Anderson and Reginald Blomfield within contemporary architectural debates. Relevant for architectural historians as well as literary scholars and those in Victorian studies Victorian Perceptions reassesses the history of Renaissance architecture within the formation of a modern British architectural profession.
