The Routledge Companion to Architectural Drawings and Models From Translating to Archiving Collecting and Displaying

Architectural drawings and models are instruments of imagination communication and historical continuity. The role of drawings and models and their ownership placement and authorship in a ubiquitous digital age deserve careful consideration. Expanding on the well-established discussion of the translation from drawings to buildings this book fills a lacuna in current scholarship questioning the significance of the lives of drawings and models after construction. Including emerging well-known and world-renowned scholars in the fields of architectural history and theory and curatorial practices the thirty-five contributions define recent research in four key areas: drawing sites/sites of knowledge construction: drawing office construction site; the afterlife of drawings and models: archiving collecting displaying and exhibiting; tools of making: architectural representations and their apparatus over time; and the ethical responsibilities of collecting and archiving: authorship ownership copyrights and rights to copy. The research covers a wide range of geographies and delves into the practices of such architects as Sir John Soane Superstudio Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc Frank Lloyd Wright Wajiro Kon Germán Samper Gnecco A+PS Mies van der Rohe and Renzo Piano. | The Routledge Companion to Architectural Drawings and Models From Translating to Archiving Collecting and Displaying

Towards a Transformation of Philosophy

Towards a Transformation of Philosophy

First Published in 1980 (English Translation) Towards a Transformation of Philosophy presents selected essays from Karl -Otto Apel’s two- volume German collection that was published in 1973 under the title Transformation der Philosophie. Karl -Otto Apel’s studies in philosophy and the social sciences can be said to have bridged the gap that had hitherto existed between the Anglo-Saxon traditions of analytical philosophy of language and pragmatism and the philosophical traditions of the European continent of phenomenology existentialism and hermeneutics. Apel points to language as the crucial dimension in the constitution of historical meaning and therefore as the historical condition for the possibility of truth. In this context he discusses the hermeneutic dimension of Wittgenstein’s philosophy and that of his followers together with the development of pragmatism and with recent trends in Chomsky’s linguistics. In arguing for the complementarity of technical and practical interests in acquiring knowledge for a critical theory of society Apel examines the preconditions for an emancipatory critique of ideology and the communication community as the predeterminate of both the social sciences and moral discourse. In all the essays Apel sets out to counter the positivistic and scientistic restrictions placed upon a satisfactory understanding of the preconditions for the possibility and validity of human knowledge. This is a must read for scholars and researchers of philosophy.

Architectural Drawings as Investigating Devices Architecture’s Changing Scope in the 20th Century

Architectural Drawings as Investigating Devices Architecture’s Changing Scope in the 20th Century

Architectural Drawings as Investigating Devices explores how the changing modes of representation in architecture and urbanism relate to the transformation of how the addressees of architecture and urbanism are conceived. The book diagnoses the dominant epistemological debates in architecture and urbanism during the 20th and 21st centuries. It traces their transformations paying special attention to Le Corbusier and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s preference for perspective representation to the diagrams of Team 10 architects to the critiques of functionalism and the upgrade of the artefactual value of architectural drawings in Aldo Rossi John Hejduk Peter Eisenman and Oswald Mathias Ungers and finally to the reinvention of architectural programme through the event in Bernard Tschumi and the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA). Particular emphasis is placed on the spirit of truth and clarity in modernist architecture the relationship between the individual and the community in post-war era architecture the decodification of design process as syntactic analogy and the paradigm of autonomy in the 1970s and 1980s architecture the concern about the dynamic character of urban conditions and the potentialities hidden in architectural programme in the post-autonomy era. This book is based on extensive archival research in Canada the USA and Europe and will be of interest to architects artists researchers and students in architecture architectural history theory cultural theory philosophy and aesthetics. | Architectural Drawings as Investigating Devices Architecture’s Changing Scope in the 20th Century

Neuroaesthetics

Neuroaesthetics

The beginning of psychological aesthetics is normally traced back to the publication of Gustav Theodor Fechner's seminal book Vorschule der Aesthetik in 1876. Following in the footsteps of this rich tradition editors Martin Skov and Oshin Vartanian view neuroaesthetics - the emerging field of inquiry concerned with uncovering the ways in which aesthetic behavior is caused by brain processes - as a natural extension of Fechner's 'empirical spirit' to understand the link between the objective and subjective worlds inherent in aesthetic experience. The editors had two specific aims for this book. The first was to highlight the diversity of approaches that are underway under the banner of neuroaesthetics. Currently this topic is being investigated from experimental evolutionary neuropsychological and neuroimaging perspectives to tackle problems in the visual arts literature music and film. Its quintessentially interdisciplinary nature has functioned as a breeding ground for generating and testing hypotheses in multiple domains. The second goal was more integrative and involved distilling some of the key features common to these diverse strands of work. The book presents a possible framework for neuroaesthetics by highlighting what the contributors consider to be its defining features and offering a working definition of neuroaesthetics that captures these features. Neuroaesthetics will provide an empirical and theoretical framework to motivate further work in this area. Ultimately the hope is that puzzles in aesthetics can be solved through insights from biology but that the contribution can be truly bidirectional.

Embodied Trauma and Healing Critical Conversations on the Concept of Health

Embodied Trauma and Healing Critical Conversations on the Concept of Health

What if philosophy could solve the psychological puzzle of trauma? Embodied Trauma and Healing argues just that suggesting that one might be needed in order to understand the other. The book demonstrates how the body-mind problem that haunted Descartes was addressed by phenomenologists whilst also proposing that the human experience is lived subjectively as embodied consciousness. Throughout this book the author suggests that the phenomenological tools that are used to explore the body can also be an effective way to discuss the physical and mental aspects of embodied trauma. Drawing on the work of Paul Ricœur Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Emmanuel Lévinas the book outlines a phenomenological approach to the embodied and relational subject. It offers a reading of embodied trauma that can connect it to wider conversations in psychological underpinnings of trauma through Peter Levine’s somatic research and Bessel van der Kolk’s embodied remembering. Connecting to the analytic tradition the book suggests that phenomenology can unify both language-based and body-based therapeutic practice. It also presents a compelling discussion that ties the embodied experience of relation in trauma to the wider causal factors of social suffering and relational rupture intergenerational trauma and the trauma of land as informed by phenomenology. Embodied Trauma and Healing is essential reading for researchers within the fields of philosophy psychology and medical humanities for it actively engages with contemporary configurations of trauma theory and recent research developments in healing and mental disorder diagnosis. | Embodied Trauma and Healing Critical Conversations on the Concept of Health
