The Power of Circumstance. Architecture and Creative Independence. Six Lectures by Per Olaf Fjeld
Author: Per Olaf FjeldPublisher:
ISBN: 9788792700285
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
The lectures revolve around a number of simple but profound questions: ?Who am I? And from this, What makes me who I am? What creative abilities do I possess that enable me to spark creative energy into achieving long-term or lasting quality of work?? Per Olaf Fjeld considers these questions to be crucial for any young architect. For anyone to find an answer, you would need to examine the depth of architecture and develop a deeper understanding and an awareness of our humanity through architecture. As Fjeld states: ?In order to attain this, I think the individual creative act in each of us has to be sharpened, renewed and better understood.? This book set out to help us do exactly so.00The lectures were held at the Master?s Program Art and Architecture (KKA) at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts? School of Architecture (KADK) in 2016 and are now published by the program in order to share the narratives and experiences of Fjeld with a broader audience of readers, just as he shared them with the architecture students.
Précis of the Lectures on Architecture
Author: Jean-Nicolas-Louis DurandPublisher: Getty Publications
ISBN: 0892365803
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 363
Book Description
Jean-Nicolas-Louis Durand (1760–1834) regarded the Précis of the Lectures on Architecture (1802–5) and its companion volume, the Graphic Portion (1821), as both a basic course for future civil engineers and a treatise. Focusing the practice of architecture on utilitarian and economic values, he assailed the rationale behind classical architectural training: beauty, proportionality, and symbolism. His formal systematization of plans, elevations, and sections transformed architectural design into a selective modular typology in which symmetry and simple geometrical forms prevailed. His emphasis on pragmatic values, to the exclusion of metaphysical concerns, represented architecture as a closed system that subjected its own formal language to logical processes. Now published in English for the first time, the Précis and the Graphic Portion are classics of architectural education.

Modern Architecture
Author: Frank Lloyd WrightPublisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691232539
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
Modern Architecture is a landmark text--the first book in which America's greatest architect put forth the principles of a fundamentally new, organic architecture that would reject the trappings of historical styles while avoiding the geometric abstraction of the machine aesthetic advocated by contemporary European modernists. One of the most important documents in the development of modern architecture and the career of Frank Lloyd Wright, Modern Architecture is a provocative and profound polemic against America's architectural eclecticism, commercial skyscrapers, and misguided urban planning. The book is also a work of savvy self-promotion, in which Wright not only advanced his own concept of an organic architecture but also framed it as having anticipated by decades--and bettered--what he saw as the reductive modernism of his European counterparts. Based on the 1931 original, for which Wright supplied the cover illustration, this beautiful edition includes a new introduction that puts Modern Architecture in its broader architectural, historical, and intellectual context for the first time. The subjects of these lively lectures--from "Machinery, Materials and Men" to "The Tyranny of the Skyscraper" and "The City"--move from a general statement of the conditions of modern culture to particular applications in the fields of architecture and urbanism at ever broadening scales. Wright's vision in Modern Architecture is ultimately to equate the truly modern with romanticism, imagination, beauty, and nature--all of which he connects with an underlying sense of American democratic freedom and individualism.
