Anthony McCall: breath
$56.95
(disponible sur commande)
Résumé:
Anthony McCall’s works can be defined as half way between sculpture and cinema. Sculpture because the shapes fill a three-dimensional space, and therefore one can move around them or walk through them; cinema because the shapes and spaces are made of projected light, that little by little changes its form in time. The book “Breath [the vertical works]” analyses the(...)

Résumé:
Anthony McCall’s works can be defined as half way between sculpture and cinema. Sculpture because the shapes fill a three-dimensional space, and therefore one can move around them or walk through them; cinema because the shapes and spaces are made of projected light, that little by little changes its form in time. The book “Breath [the vertical works]” analyses the artist’s works from their aesthetic peculiarities through the creative course of the author. The text by Hal Foster is rich in references to 20th century history and philosophy, and puts McCall’s works in the wide context of contemporary artistic research.

Résumé:
Designed by the architects’s themselves, this monograph is published in conjunction with an exhibition of their work at the Cité de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine in Paris. The illustrated monograph gathers all the projects that have been designed by the office and presents them in thematic groups, such as beginnings, landscape, dreams, freedom, transformation and the city – together, these themes are woven into a story that challenges the architects’s proposals. In denying the obvious, the architects seek to emphasise what is essential and specific to each situation and context, while in turn proposing an architecture that celebrates freedom.

Résumé:
By far the most pervasive and affordable building material in the world, concrete has undergone ever-more-widespread dissemination, standardization, and technological innovation in the last twenty-five years. Recent scientific breakthroughs have yielded composites stronger than steel, lighter than water, and as beautiful as natural stone. In Solid States, an interdisciplinary group of architects, historians, theorists, engineers, fabricators, and materials scientists collectively explore the past, present, and future possibilities of this highly calibrated, fluid material. Solid States presents new theoretical and cultural analyses of concrete architecture, both historically and in the context of newly built work.

Résumé:
Providing a philosophical and cultural context for discourse around the sublime in recent art, the book surveys the diverse and sometimes conflicting interpretations of the term as it has evolved from the writings of Longinus, Burke, and Kant to present-day writers and artists. The sublime underlies the nobility of Classicism, the awe of Romantic nature, and the terror of the Gothic. In the last half-century, the sublime has haunted postwar abstraction, returned from the repression of theoretical formalism, and has become a key term in critical discussions of human otherness and posthuman realms of nature and technology.

Résumé:
Sited on the coastal edge of the Bay of Bengal, Golconde, a dormitory for the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry, India, was designed by architects Antonin Raymond and George Nakashima. Golconde is a remarkable architectural edifice, seamlessly negotiating between the tenets of early modernist architecture while addressing the pragmatic impositions of a tropical context. Espousing radical economy and uncompromising construction standards, it proposes environmental sensitivity as a foundation for the design process. Completed in 1942, Golconde was the first reinforced, cast-in-place concrete building in India and celebrates the modernist credo: architecture as the manifest union of aesthetics, technology, and social reform.
