Cambridge University Press, 2009. A crisp, clean Very Good copy with a mild creases to forecorners andremainder mark, else Near Fine. 503 pp., epilogue, notes and index. Harry Mallgrave's comprehensive survey of architectural theory, primarily in Europe and the United States, contextualizes architectural discourse within its social and political atmosphere over three centuries of development. He explores the philosophical and conceptual evolution of its ideas, the relation of theory to the practice of building, and, most importantly, the words of the architects themselves as they contentiously shaped their particular niche of Western civilization over time.. First Paperback Edition. Photographic Wraps. Very Good., Cambridge University Press, 2009, Taschen, November 2017. Hardcover. New. Spiraling Ideas</strong><br /> Friedensreich hundertwasser, hero of fluid forms and ecology<br /><br /> Friedrich Stowasser, born in Vienna in 1928, called himself <strong>Friedensreich Hundertwasser Regentag Dunkelbunt</strong>. True to the colorful variety of his names, he has pursued many activities as a painter, architect, and ecologist, and as 'one who awakens identities.' This presentation of Hundertwasser's work in all of its different facets is guided by the artist's own view of himself and his purpose. And, because his work is, by nature, virtually inseparable from his biography, his artistic and political actions, and equally so from the 'stories' of his (ostensibly) private life, a vivid portrait of the artist takes shape before the reader's eyes. Excerpts from conversations between the author and the artist lend a sense of immediacy and authenticity to the narration., Taschen, Taschen, November 2017. Hardcover. New.

Especially striking and controversial has been the way in which the state has organized scientific endeavor. After the 1880s reinvigorated university faculties played a key role in the growth of science in France, and many faculty scientists enjoyed close relations with industry, agriculture, the military, and politics. During the Third Republic the idea of governmental responsibility to support research became a dogma, due to the stimulus that science was perceived to give to the French economy. By 1939 a working mechanism of state funding for science, buttressed by a complex scientific ideology, had come into existence and provided the foundations for the development of a new structure of scientific research and education in the postwar era. From Knowledge to Power is the first full-scale treatment of this dramatic expansion of French science between 1860 and 1939. Contents: Introduction; 1. From Second Empire to Third Republic: The Great Scientific Mutation; 2. Fata Morgana: Positivism in 19th-century French Biology; 3. Biology in the University: The Success of Marine Biology Leads but to Paradigm Lost; 4. The Industrial Connection of University Science; 5.

["Can architecture help us find our place and way in today's complex world?Can it return individuals to a whole, to a world, to a community? Developing Giedion's claim that contemporary architecture's main task is to interpret a way of life valid for our time, philosopher Karsten Harries answers that architecture should serve a common ethos. But if architecture is to meet that task, it first has to free itself from the dominant formalist approach, and get beyond the notion that its purpose is to produce endless variations of the decorated shed. In a series of arguments,Harries questions the premises on which architects and theorists have long relied - premises which have contributed to architecture's current identity crisis and marginalization. He first criticizes the aesthetic approach, focusing on the problems of decoration and ornament. He then turns to the language of architecture. If the main task of architecture is indeed interpretation, in just what sense can it be said to speak, and what should it be speaking about? Expanding upon suggestions made by Martin Heidegger, Harries also considers the relationship of building to the idea and meaning of dwelling. Architecture, Harries observes, has a responsibility to community; but its ethical function is inevitably also political. He concludes by examining these seemingly paradoxical functions"- Publisher's description]., MIT Press, USA: Cowles Magazines. Paperback. 110 pages.
