PRICES MAY VARY. Thresholds are an―often overlooked―anthropological constant found in every era and every culture. From the spatial understanding of Greek antiquity to the establishment of the private sphere in the eighteenth century and the transparency of modern architecture, the threshold has always been a central architectural element. Like a visual symbol of a boundary or a transition, thresholds divide spaces, but are also a connecting element, opening up ways through and across, which have a subtle influence on one’s own perception of space. It is only in recent decades that thresholds have lost significance as part of our everyday experience with architecture. What remains is a growing emptiness between people and the spaces in which they live. Sensual City Studio not only provides an inspiring overview of this important architectural stylistic feature from all eras and cultures, but also shows in particular: thresholds can and must be rethought and rebuilt. In this respect, this book is a plea for the renaissance of the threshold and therefore also a manifesto for a human architecture.

Antique dealer wears 70 (古董商人穿七零) Author: Xi Liangmiao Category: Time Travel and Rebirth Release time: 2022-06-02 Latest: Chapter 53 The delicate, weak and helpless cloud took a little boy back to Phoenix to recuperate and live in the Yun family's old house. When the two women came back, they lived in the old house for two years. Her legendary man didn't even send her a letter, and the neighbors talked about it. Some say that the men in the cloud have changed their minds to find young and beautiful girls, while others say that the men in the cloud are strong. Yunduan had no feelings for his gossip. He simply took the summer vacation to take his cub to travel and went to the south to find a few antiques. The two women had enough fun and went home happily. As soon as they left the station, they greeted her enthusiastically, saying that her man was back. Cloud? Single beauty? Antique porter? Duan, I looked confused at this moment: Why don't I know if I have a man? The cub next to him pulled the corners of her clothes excitedly: "I found it for you. Do you like it?" Looking at the tall and handsome man in front of him, Yun Duan said, "..." The child is so sweet. He is really a big boy! Not my story. Posted for offline reading only. Google translate.

Sie überleben in großer Zahl und sind durch ihre Inschriften und Typologie eine wichtige Informationsquelle für Archäologen und Historiker der Antike. Sie repräsentieren auch einen bedeutenden Körper der alten Kunst. Aus nicht näher bekannten Gründen (obwohl zweifellos im Zusammenhang mit der religiösen Bedeutung des ägyptischen Gottes Khepri) waren Amulette in Form von Skarabäuskäfern im alten Ägypten im frühen Mittlerenreich (ca. 2000 BCE) enorm populär geworden und populär geblieben für den Rest der pharaonischen Zeit und darüber hinaus. Während dieser langen Zeit änderte sich die Funktion der Skarabäen immer wieder. In erster Linie Amulette, wurden sie auch als persönliche oder behördliche Siegel eingeschrieben oder in Schmuck eingearbeitet. Einige Skarabäen wurden offenbar zu politischen oder diplomatischen Zwecken geschaffen, um königliche Errungenschaften zu gedenken oder zu bewerben. Bis zum frühen Neuen Reich waren Herzskarabäen Teil der Amulette geworden, die Mumien schützten. Ab der mittleren Bronzezeit importierten andere antike Völker des Mittelmeerraums und des Nahen Ostens Skarabäen aus Ägypten und stellten ebenfalls Skarabäen in ägyptischen oder lokalen Stilen her, insbesondere in der Levante.

This antique star shaped painted wood Indian bajot prayer table is an excellent and unusual example dating to the 19th century. It is from Rajasthan and would have been used for daily prayer. The shape of the table is that of a Rub el Hizb known as the Islamic Star formed by two overlapping squares. This is likely influenced by the Mughal period in India (1526–1761), however, it became widely used by many cultural groups in Rajasthan. Star bajots are found in many styles around India.    The beautifully detailed original polychrome paintwork is classically Mughal in style and features a lotus mandala, the Nava Padma Mandala, a Hindu design most often associated with the worship of Lord Shiva. The lotus often symbolises purity and rebirth.    From India UK Delivery Charge - except Highlands & Islands £40More delivery options available at checkout

Jiroft artifact, Persia, 3000 BC Throughout the history of antiquity there have been numerous instances where art has interacted with ancient discoveries to forge new art trends and revitalize established arts. From the middle of the 8th century BC, the developing eastern trade connections led to an Orientalising of the Greek decoration of the ceramic arts with new subjects being introduced including palmettes, lions, panthers, rosettes, lotus flowers and the tree of life. Corinth developed its distinctive style with the appropriation of stylised plants and animals and curvaceous flora and fauna began replacing the geometric styles. Greek art

There really are no books like The Transcendentalists and the Death and Rebirth of Western Philosophical Religion that review the history of Western philosophical religion over the last 2,500 plus years. My book is a unique synthesis of the insights of many scholars, philosophers and historians from classical antiquity until the present. In a radical departure from the Abrahamic faiths, Emerson, Thoreau and the Transcendentalist movement in 19th century Unitarianism saw the locus of religious authority as residing within the individual rather than a religious organization or sacred text. Ancient philosophy as a religious way of life also saw the locus of religious authority as residing within the individual. The classics were center stage in American thought during the founding and early days of the United States and the Transcendentalists were powerfully influenced by classical thought. Ancient philosophy as a religious way of life emphasized the pursuit of virtue and happiness in this life through critical thinking and free inquiry. As much as possible in Part 1, I let the ancients speak for themselves through quotations from surviving public domain classical works. I think many of these quotations have been underappreciated by scholars and will be quite thought provoking for both scholars and general readers. After Christianity became the state religion of the Roman Empire, philosophy would be forced into a role of subservience to religious creeds as I will explore in Part 2. The Enlightenment freed philosophy from the chains of religious creeds but philosophy has yet to reachieve the status it held in classical antiquity as a respected and influential religious way of life. Many critical thinkers now see dogma about the supernatural as the defining characteristic of religion. They view religion as anachronistic and a mode of human experience that has no relevance to their lives. A recent Gallup poll reports that membership in religious organizations among Americans has dropped to 47% -- down from 70% in 1999 -- with only 36% of millennials reporting membership in a religious organization. The poll also reports that this drop is completely without precedent. One of my goals for my 2-part history is to give readers a fresh perspective on the possible relevance and role of religion in contemporary life through an understanding of religious history that views dogma about the supernatural as nonessential and in the 21st century increasingly counterproductive in religion and religious thought. Religious scholars through the ages have regularly portrayed the history of Abrahamic religion as the triumph of monotheism over polytheism and orthodoxy over heresy. My contrarian perspective is that it is just as important to see the history of Abrahamic religion as the triumph of religious dogma. I like to think that appreciating ancient philosophy as a religious way of life and the influence that classical thought had on the Transcendentalists might serve as an inspiration for the further extension of freedom of thought and critical thinking - a good thing --into 21st century religion. Classical thought might help transform our thinking yet again as it did for America's founders, the Transcendentalists and, before them, the Greeks, the Romans and during the Renaissance and the Enlightenment.
