Amir Zaki grew up skateboarding, so he has an understanding of these spaces and, as an artist who has spent years photographing the built and natural landscape of California, he has an appreciation of the large concrete structures as both sculptural forms and significant features of the contemporary landscape, belonging to a tradition of public art and Brutalist architecture. Each remarkable photograph in this book is a composite of shots taken with a digital camera mounted on a motorized tripod head; this allows Zaki to photograph areas that would otherwise be impossible to capture.

  • Modernist Architecture Shaped Streetscapes and Skylines from Berlin to Chandigarh to Brasília
    Note: Unpublished paper, drawn from Chapter 3 of Thatcher’s Progress (2019). 1 WELFARE STATE MODERNISM AND THE POLITICS OF AESTHETIC CHANGE Guy Ortolano New York University Forged during the interwar decades, following the Second World War modernist architecture shaped streetscapes and skylines from Berlin to Chandigarh to Brasília. Postwar reconstruction, post-colonial development, and nationalist ambitions combined to unleash “a massive scale of experimental solutions that had been proposed in the 1920s and 1930s,” according to Jean-Louis Cohen’s global history of architecture, with the result that “principles that had been primarily in the theoretical sphere before the war quickly found their way into mass production.”1 These innovations included functional zoning, non-traditional materials, and industrialized building methods, but modernism became most associated with such characteristic forms as glass and steel towers, concrete civic spaces, and flat-roofed housing. Even that partial list indicates the diversity that the label “modernism” always struggled to corral, but the style’s coherence snapped into starker relief upon its repudiation. Because even more rapidly than it had triumphed, architecture’s modernist moment swiftly ended. Some scholars date its demise to the fatal explosion of London’s Ronan Point tower in 1968, while others point to the demolition of St. Louis’s Pruitt-Igoe housing complex in 1972.2 Its death throes persisted, through the Museum of Modern Art’s sympathetic revisiting of Beaux-Arts in 1975, and then that same venue’s iconoclastic Transformations in Modern Architecture exhibition of 1979.3 Generally, however, during the 1970s architects and critics were 1 Jean-Louis Cohen, The Future of Architecture.

  • The Alien in Greenwich. Iain Sinclair & the Millennium Dome
    The Alien in Greenwich. Iain Sinclair & the Millennium Dome by Nicoletta Vallorani THE DOME THAT FELL ON EARTH For Iain Sinclair, London is a life project. It tends to take the same ideal shape of the city he tries to tell us about: a provisional landscape (Sinclair 2002: 44), multilevel and dynamically unstable, invaded by memories, projects, plans and virtual imaginations, walked through and re-moulded by the walker, finally fading away at its endlessly redrawn margins. One gets lost, and in doing so, he learns something more about the place he inhabits1: I’m in mid-stride, mid-monologue, when a deranged man (French) grabs me by the sleeve […] There’s something wrong with the landscape. Nothing fits. His compass has gone haywire. ‘Is this London?’ he demands, very politely. Up close, he’s excited rather than mad. Not a runaway. It’s just that he’s been working a route through undifferentiated suburbs for hours, without reward. None of the landmarks – Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, Harrod’s, the Virgin Megastore – that would confirm, or justify, his sense of the metropolis. But his question is a brute. ‘Is this London?’ Not in my book. London is whatever can be reached in a one-hour walk. The rest is fictional. […] ‘Four miles’ I reply. At a venture. ‘London.’ A reckless improvisation. ‘Straight on. Keep going. Find a bridge and cross it.’ I talk as if translating myself into a language primer (Sinclair & Atkins 1999: 38-43). Here, though conjured up by specific landmarks (Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, Harrod’s, the Virgin Megastore) and a few permanent inscriptions (the river and its bridges), the space of London stands out as a fiction made true by the steps of the walker.

  • Luxury Lithics | Decorative Stone on Bond Street
    Urban Geology in London No. 16 Luxury Lithics | Decorative Stone on Bond Street Ruth Siddall Old Bond Street was first laid out in the mid 1680s by a group of property developers and goldsmiths including Sir Thomas Bond, for whom the street is named. New Bond Street was completed after 1700. It is now the home of jewellers, fashion houses and fine art galleries. Luxury global brands aim to create a high-end shopping experience, with bespoke detailing applied to the materials used in the construction of the interiors and often exteriors of the building as well as to the merchandise. Architects and designers are employed to set a style across global branches of these stores. Thus brands often adopt a livery of often lavish décor which may include the use of specific stones in stores across Europe and the Globe. Thus the same stones may be used in, say, Mulberry stores in London, Paris and New York. Stones are chosen for their appearance and unique character. Indeed this guide has turned into a bit of an epic, with almost 40 different stones identified, representing the igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic categories and coming from the British Isles and continental Europe as well as from further afield localities including Canada and Brazil. They range in age from 2 billion year old Bushveld gabbros to 50,000 year old travertines from Rome. From Piccadilly, Old Bond Street and then New Bond Street run NNE in a straight line from Piccadilly to Oxford Street. For both Old and New Bond Streets, street numbering runs sequentially up the east side of the road and then down the west side of the roads.

Abstract As a massive phenomenon animating the world of cultural politics, kitsch sensibility emerges in Western Christian materialism as a means to easily mediate genuine, if sentimental, expressions of religious devotion. Scorned by others as the manipulation of “bad taste,” reverence through kitsch in contemporary religious art would be better taken to reflect a crisis in modern religious thought. This thesis employs the theological aesthetics of Hans Urs von Balthasar to argue that modern Christian kitsch is the active mistaking of poor theological quality as a source of beauty, which is primarily felt as the sensibility of losing dynamis.

  • (In)Security: the Aesthetics of Planning Urban Defences Against Terrorism
    Special Issue on Urban Insecurities The Visibility of (In)security: The Aesthetics of Planning Urban Defences Against Terrorism JON COAFFEE, PAUL O’HARE & MARIAN HAWKESWORTH* Centre for Urban and Regional Studies, University of Birmingham & Centre for Urban Policy Studies, University of Manchester, UK Urban defences against terrorism have traditionally been based on territorial interventions that sought to seal off and surveil cer- tain public and private spaces considered targets. Lately, though, a much wider range of crowded and public spaces have been viewed as potential targets and thus have been identified as requiring addi- tional security. This has immense implications for the experience of the ‘everyday’ urban landscape. Drawing on contemporary notions that incorporate the study of aesthetics and emotions within critical security and terrorism studies, this article discusses the visual impact of counter-terrorism security measures. It analyses the ‘transmission’ of symbolic messages, as well as the variety of ways in which security might be ‘received’ by various stakeholders. The analysis takes place against the backdrop of concern that obtrusive security measures have the capacity to radically alter public experiences of space and in some cases lead to (intended and unintended) exclusionary practices or a range of negative emotional responses. The article concludes by outlining a ‘spectrum of visible security’ ranging between traditional obtrusive fortified approaches and approaches that embed security features seamlessly or even ‘invisibly’ into the urban fabric. Keywords counter-terrorism • security • visibility • urban planning • ‘War on Terror’ Introduction ECENTLY, THE UK GOVERNMENT IDENTIFIED the range of risks confronting the nation in its first ever National Security Strategy.
