Understandably the brief was for a fami- ly home that could reflect local brickwork craft in the twenty-first century. With our background, we felt that the initial challenge was to understand the merits of what appeared to be a retrograde technology. The discovery of the Mies quotation (I was educated under Mies' program at IIT) provid- ed an appropriate confirmation that brick was actually rather clever. The next step was to understand and appreciate the subtleties of excellence and ordinariness. Learning from nature has always been a driving force within our design approach and this is largely based on the understanding that, in order to develop a low impact building, it would be best to fit within the prevailing paradigm nature has established.

  • The French Monk, the Quiet Swede, and the Golden Section
    Journal of Architecture and Construction Volume 3, Issue 2, 2020, PP 21-29 ISSN 2637-5796 The French Monk, the Quiet Swede, and the Golden Section Jeff Reuben1* 1New York, NY, USA, University of Colorado, History and Political Science 1991 Master of Urban Planning and Policy, University of Illinois at Chicago 1998 Urban Planning consultant, member American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP) *Corresponding Author: Jeff Reuben, New York, NY, USA, University of Colorado, History and Political Science 1991 Master of Urban Planning and Policy, University of Illinois at Chicago 1998 Urban Planning consultant, member American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP) ABSTRACT The Golden Section is a geometric ratio often touted for its aesthetically perfect proportions and its use as a design blueprint found in both nature and in iconic works of architecture throughout history. The Parthenon is often cited as the prototype par excellence of Golden Section architecture, though such assertions are not supported by empirical studies. Among twentieth century architects it is most commonly associated with Le Corbusier and his Modulor system. However, two of his lesser known contemporaries - Dom Paul Bellot, a Benedictine monk-architect, and Sigurd Lewerentz, an enigmatic Swede - also created works in which the Golden Section was applied, but with adjustments and in combination with other dimensions as part of unified systems of proportion. With much less fanfare, they show how the Golden Section can be applied in brick and mortar, but also reveal

  • The Politics of Plainchant in Fin-De-Siècle France
    The Politics of Plainchant in fin-de-siècle France This book tells three inter-related stories that radically alter our perspective on plainchant reform at the turn of the twentieth century and highlight the value of liturgical music history to our understanding of French government anticlericalism. It offers at once a new history of the rise of the Benedictines of Solesmes to official dominance over Catholic editions of plainchant worldwide, a new optic on the French liturgical publishing industry during a period of international crisis for the publication of plainchant notation, and an exploration of how, both despite and because of official hostility, French Catholics could bend Republican anticlericalism at the highest level to their own ends. The narrative relates how Auguste Pécoul, a former French diplomat and Benedictine novice, masterminded an undercover campaign to aid the Gregorian agenda of the Solesmes monks via French government intervention at the Vatican. His vehicle: trades unionists from within the book industry, whom he mobilized into nationalist protest against Vatican attempts to enshrine a single, contested, and German, version of the musical text as canon law. Yet the political scheming necessitated by Pécoul’s double involvement with Solesmes and the print unions almost spun out of control as his Benedictine contacts struggled with internal division and anticlerical persecution. The results are as musicologically significant for the study of Solesmes as they are instructive for the study of Church–State relations. ROYAL MUSICAL ASSOCIATION MONOGRAPHS General Editor: Simon P. Keefe This series is supported by funds made available to the Royal Musical Association from the estate of Thurston Dart, former King Edward Professor of Music at the University of London.

  • Allround Lenehan and the Art of the Remix
    GENETIC JOYCE STUDIES – Issue 13 (Spring 2013) Allround Lenehan and the Art of the Remix Philip Keel Geheber When Frank O’Connor argued that Joyce created “not characters but personalities, and Joyce would never again be able to deal with characters, people whose identity is determined by their circumstances,”i he was half right. Most of Joyce’s characters in Ulysses are initially conceived in determinate relations with their circumstances; they are the products of the Dublin in which Joyce situates them. Then through the novel’s composition, as the textual play increasingly predominates, they begin to be “submerged” by Joyce’s irony and the text’s multivalent voices. The cumulative effect of different constituent parts of Ulysses supplying additional information and revising initial readings of characters, events, and the city itself is the primary way the text functions. Parallactic perspectives on the same event give the reader a new angle that changes the earlier interpretation based on one character’s sensations. Ulysses performs this same operation on a much more condensed scale as well. From Lenehan’s first appearance in Dubliners and then throughout Ulysses, looking at the way in which Joyce continually adds to the descriptions and speech of Lenehan is one way to witness how Joyce not only expands the latter text but also inserts additions that intentionally and implicitly cross-reference other parts of the book or even other texts. The encyclopedic expansion that Joyce’s development of styles and characters like Lenehan illustrates is the Joycean treatment of language and fiction as a web of interlinked ideas that coalesce to support or undermine each other.
