Author: Cartiere CameronBrand: RoutledgeEdition: 1Number Of Pages: 272Details: The Everyday Practice of Public Art: Art, Space, and Social Inclusion is a multidisciplinary anthology of analyses exploring the expansion of contemporary public art issues beyond the built environment. It follows the highly successful publication The Practice of Public Art (eds. Cartiere and Willis), and expands the analysis of the field with a broad perspective which includes practicing artists, curators, activists, writers and educators from North America, Europe and Australia, who offer divergent perspectives on the many facets of the public art process. The collection examines the continual evolution of public art, moving beyond monuments and memorials to examine more fully the development of socially-engaged public art practice. Topics include constructing new models for developing and commissioning temporary and performance-based public artworks; understanding the challenges of a socially-engaged public art practice vs. social programming and policymaking; the social inclusiveness of public art; the radical developments in public art and social practice pedagogy; and unravelling the relationships between public artists and the communities they serve. The Everyday Practice of Public Art offers a diverse perspective on the increasingly complex nature of artistic practice in the public realm in the twenty-first century.Release Date: 04-12-2015Package Dimensions: 18x214x358

Postmodern American architect Michael Graves, who died last week aged 80, injected more childlike exuberance into his buildings and product designs than any of his contemporaries – and produced some of the most divisive works of the period as a result

In the last ten years China has seen a major influx of foreign architecture. This new variety has played a fundamental role in the modernisation of China. Its importance in the development of Chinese architecture is also unquestionable, but most projects, however, have failed to relate to their context. They deliberately pursue an iconic and futuristic appearance, while neglecting years of history and urban participation. Now that the speed of development is slowing down, it is finally the time for architecture of place and purpose. Our proposal reflects the values of traditional Chinese architecture and local history, guided by a sense of local urban culture. Instead of copying western models, we delved into local customs to find the typologies that would adjust the most easily to the lifestyle and practices of local inhabitants. Vernacular architecture is the result of thousands of years of continuous research and experimentation. Southern China is warm and humid, therefore people organise their lives around outdoor spaces. Traditional Chinese architecture has always succeeded in achieving a perfect harmony between the natural and the built environments. Just like its inspirational model, the building we proposed is of introspective nature, the programme is organised around a series of patios that relate with the urban surroundings. In rupture with some of the most recent projects in China, the Longhua Art Museum and Library is a place of quietness, reflection and introspection, a safe haven from the busy streets of Shenzhen.
The Education Center is the heart of Rotterdam’s renewed academic hospital Erasmus MC, designed in the 1960s by Arie Hagoort (OD205) in collaboration with Jean Prouvé. The new design repurposes a courtyard and an existing low-rise building with daylight-deprived rooms, a problematic orientation, and no clear routing. Following the essence of the original design, the — read more

Some buildings will absolutely fascinate you with their stunning designs, genius architectural decisions, and the sheer power of their aesthetics. This article isn’t about these kinds of buildings, however. Nope!
Let's just clear something up from the outset - in case the title of this post made you think we are going to discuss Beyonce's post-baby body, you're in the wrong place. This post has nothing to do with her curvaceous hips and mama-jugs, although it is loaded with (design) sex appeal in equal measures. So it's entirely up to you if you want to hang around. I am a self confessed straight line lover. I love their logic, crisp and clean nature, their safety and almost predictability. I sit and draw for hours, rationalise the crap out of every space and surface, align and straighten until I cannot make things any straighter. Most of the time. But then there are times when straight lines just don't feel right...
