Summary:
In The Sympathy of Things, Lars Spuybroek argues that we must "undo" the twentieth century - the age in which the eighteenth-century ideal of the Sublime became a technological reality. Spuybroek returns to the insights of the great nineteenth-century art writer John Ruskin, for whom beauty always comprises variation, imperfection and fragility. Spuybroek argues that(...)

Summary:
In The Sympathy of Things, Lars Spuybroek argues that we must "undo" the twentieth century - the age in which the eighteenth-century ideal of the Sublime became a technological reality. Spuybroek returns to the insights of the great nineteenth-century art writer John Ruskin, for whom beauty always comprises variation, imperfection and fragility. Spuybroek argues that these three concepts not only define relations between humans and their designed products but between all things: "sympathy is what things feel when they shape each other." Spuybroek then compares five twinned themes in Ruskin - the Gothic and work, ornament and matter, sympathy and abstraction, the picturesque and time, ecology and design - with later philosophers and theorists such as William James and Bruno Latour.

Summary:
Long out of print, the Arundel Society first published Giotto and His Works in Padua between 1853 and 1860. It stands as Ruskin’s most compelling set of reflections on Giotto’s masterpiece—an artwork that, in Ruskin’s estimation, changed the very course of art history. Originally accompanied by a set of black and white woodcuts of the panels in the Chapel, this new(...)

It stands as Ruskin’s most compelling set of reflections on Giotto’s masterpiece—an artwork that, in Ruskin’s estimation, changed the very course of art history. Originally accompanied by a set of black and white woodcuts of the panels in the Chapel, this new edition presents each panel in vivid color photography, adding a useful visual aid to Ruskin’s lyrical descriptions. The result is a book that serves not only as an introduction for students of art history, but also as a discussion of what it means to be a great artist, by one of most influential writers ever to tackle visual art.

Linking philosophy, design, and the digital, with art history, architecture, and craft, Spuybroek explores the romantic notion of 'sympathy', a core concept in Ruskin's aesthetics, re-evaluating it as the driving force of the twenty-first century aesthetic experience. For Ruskin, beauty always comprises variation, imperfection and fragility, three concepts that wholly disappeared from our mindsets during the twentieth century, but which Spuybroek argues to be central to contemporary aesthetics and design.

Summary:
Le livre part de l'idée que l'architecture est un art manqué à cause de sa nature complexe et de ses réalisations embarrassantes, qui ne connaîtra jamais la "facilité" directe avec laquelle agissent peintres et sculpteurs. Il affronte la question du dessin en l'assumant comme un élément constitutif de l'ailleurs idéal, de nature aussi bien littéraire, dans lequel la substance humaniste de l'architecture se traduit par la libre définition de programmes, utopies, fantaisies, narrations qui font de la feuille de papier l'image d'un livre. Au-delà des exercices d'écriture dessinées, auxquels ont eu recours Piranesi, Quarenghi, Clérisseau, Boullée, Ledoux, Lequeu, Gilly, Schinkel dans un esprit pictural et littéraire à cheval entre XVIIIe et XIXe siècle, d'autres auteurs (John Ruskin, critique d'art et dessinateur hors pair, Eugène Viollet-le-Duc et Camillo Boito, architectes, théoriciens et écrivains) rédigent des manuels de dessin importants. Un appendice datant du XXe siècle termine l'ouvrage en enjoignant à la récupération du manuel dans un âge de technique.
