Region (Critiques)

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (9131 ratings)

Description:This book explores how the concept of 'region' has evolved over time and shaped architectural culture and practice.It questions what the 'region' and 'regional' mean for architectural cultures past and present, and speculates on what forms and in which senses they might exist in future. To that end, the contributions explore region as a real geographical site of evolving socio-economic activity, as a mythical locus of enduring value, as a gatekeeper of indigenous crafts and vernacular techniques, as a site of architectural and artistic imagination, and as a repository of contested, conflicted and mobile identities.The contributing chapters take these themes from the theoretical page to architectural and urban practice, and from the scale of the domestic hearth to the archipelago and international law, avoiding the more predictable, long-standing trope of viewing architectural regionalism purely as a matter of style.Curated into four key areas, the contributions come from scholars in the US, UK, Poland, Australia, Italy, Serbia, India, Spain, Africa, Austria, Brazil, Denmark, Iran, Bangladesh, China, Greece, Russia and Singapore. Together, they provide an essential volume for students, researchers and professionals.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
