Summary:
Although patents existed in Renaissance Italy and even in Confucian thought, it was not until the middle third of the nineteenth century that architects embraced the practice of patenting in significant numbers. Patents could ensure, as they did for architects' engineering brethren, the economic and cultural benefits afforded by exclusive intellectual property rights. But(...)

Summary:
Although patents existed in Renaissance Italy and even in Confucian thought, it was not until the middle third of the nineteenth century that architects embraced the practice of patenting in significant numbers. Patents could ensure, as they did for architects' engineering brethren, the economic and cultural benefits afforded by exclusive intellectual property rights. But patent culture was never directly translatable to the field of architecture, which tended to negotiate issues of technological innovation in the context of the more abstract issues of artistic influence and formal expression. In "Prior art," scholar Peter Christensen offers the first full-scale monographic treatment of this complex relationship between art and invention.

That same year marked the 150th anniversary of photography and the centenary of Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969). Since then, much has been written about all three, jointly and singly. Whilst the literature on Mies van der Rohe has more than doubled in the past fifteen years, no scholar has yet to seriously study, at any length, the unique phenomenon that was, is and will continue to be the Barcelona Pavilion. "Building desire" focuses on the pavilion's image of an enduring myth of modernity.

Summary:
Accompanying an exhibition at Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh opening in November 2017, this book brings together more than 30 photographs by Talbot that demonstrate his wide-ranging interests, including nature, still-life, portraiture, architecture and landscape. Some of these images are previously unpublished. Through thematic groupings elucidated by noted Talbot scholar Larry Schaaf, the book reveals the photographer’s early striving to test the boundaries of his medium at a historic moment when art and science intersected. With its luminous reproductions of Talbot’s fragile works, this publication demonstrates that, in its earliest days, photography required a form of magic-making and innovation that continues to inspire people today.
