  • Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas
    5 Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas has been part of the international avant-garde since the nineteen-seventies and has been named the Pritzker Rem Koolhaas Architecture Prize for the year 2000. This book, which builds on six canonical projects, traces the discursive practice analyse behind the design methods used by Koolhaas and his office + OMA. It uncovers recurring key themes—such as wall, void, tur montage, trajectory, infrastructure, and shape—that have tek structured this design discourse over the span of Koolhaas’s Essays on the History of Ideas oeuvre. The book moves beyond the six core pieces, as well: It explores how these identified thematic design principles archi manifest in other works by Koolhaas as both practical re- Ingrid Böck applications and further elaborations. In addition to Koolhaas’s individual genius, these textual and material layers are accounted for shaping the very context of his work’s relevance. By comparing the design principles with relevant concepts from the architectural Zeitgeist in which OMA has operated, the study moves beyond its specific subject—Rem Koolhaas—and provides novel insight into the broader history of architectural ideas. Ingrid Böck is a researcher at the Institute of Architectural Theory, Art History and Cultural Studies at the Graz Ingrid Böck University of Technology, Austria. “Despite the prominence and notoriety of Rem Koolhaas … there is not a single piece of scholarly writing coming close to the … length, to the intensity, or to the methodological rigor found in the manuscript

Watkinson Publications. 23. https://digitalrepository.trincoll.edu/exhibitions/23 Series Introduction A traditional focus ofcollecting in the Watkinson since we opened on August 28, 1866, has been American periodicals, and we have quite a good representation of them from the late 18th to the early 20th centuries. However, in terms of "discoverability" (to use the current term), it is not enough to represent each of the 600-plus titles in the online catalog. We hope that our students, faculty, and other researchers will appreciate this series of annotated guides to our periodicals, broken down into basic themes (politics, music, science and medicine, children, education, women, etc.), all of which have been compiled by Watkinson Trustee and volunteer Dr. Leonard Banco. We extend our deep thanks to Len for the hundreds of hours he has devoted to this project since the spring of 2014. His breadth of knowledge about the period and his inquisitive nature have made it possible for us to promote a unique resource through this work, which has POLITICS already been of great use to visiting scholars and Trinity classes. Students and faculty keen for projects will take note Introduction of the possibilities!

  • A Chronological Analysis of Utopias, Urbanism and Technology
    RICE UNIVERSITY A CHRONOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF .UTOPIAS, URBANISM, AND TECHNOLOGY JAMES L. BOTTORFF A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE IN URBAN DESIGN aiocU M (feU4 O. Jack Mitchell Thesis Director Houston, Texas May, 1971 ABSTRACT A CHRONOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF UTOPIAS, URBANISM, & TECHNOLOGY By James L. Bottorff This thesis is a comparative analysis of the chronological patterns of utopias, urbanism, and technology that have prevailed throughout European and American history. It analyzes a wide range of carefully selected utopian concepts, and compares them with the dominant urbanistic and technological events existing at similar points in time. The result of this investigation is a theory that utopian activity has responded to urbanistic and technological trends in a recurring sequence, and that this pattern continues up to the nineteenth century. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the recurring pattern becomes complex and less defined because of an increase in utopian concepts. Based on this theory, the thesis concludes that utopian activity has responded to the prevailing urbanistic trends and technological changes of society and'the appearance of utopian activity has signaled society of important changes.

ARTICLE ‘…con uno inbasamento et ornamento alto’: the rhetoric of the pedestal c. 1430-1550. Alison Wright School of Arts and Social Sciences, University College London When, in 1504, the Florentine painter Cosimo Rosselli gave his opinion on the best situation for Michelangelo’s colossal David, he suggested it be placed by the cathedral and raised up on a high pedestal (‘uno inbasamento et ornamento alto’).1 Rosselli imagined the marble statue dominating the corner of the entrance steps, just to the right of the façade. Sandro Botticelli lent his backing to Rosselli’s view with the argument that the sculpture would here be best visible to passers-by. Against both these painters, a goldsmith, Andrea Riccio - almost certainly a local Florentine and not the Paduan bronze sculptor - proposed a position in the courtyard of the town hall, the Palazzo della Signoria.2 Here, he claims, the sculpture would be better protected and passers-by would go to see it rather than, as he vividly puts it, ‘the figure should come and see us.’3 Differences of opinion expressed in this unusually well documented debate centred above all around questions of visibility, concern for the statue’s material preservation as well as the representational and ritual needs of the Florentine government.4 Tangentially, the debate also highlighted the crucial role of the pedestal and its physical and ritual situation in mediating the encounter with sculpture.

    Siân Adiseshiah University of Lincoln, UK [email protected] The unbridgeable bridge to utopia: Howard Brenton’s Greenland Written and performed just after Thatcher’s third election victory in Britain in 1987, Howard Brenton’s Greenland is an isolated example durinG this period of a Left playwright’s attempts to represent utopia on staGe. Unlike the savaGely satirical approaches of other Left plays around the same time, such as Brenton and David Hare’s Pravda and Caryl Churchill’s Serious Money (both sardonic travesties of the riGht-winG press and the City of London in Thatcher’s Britain) Greenland attempts to reconstruct a utopian future. The second act of Greenland partially resembles a utopian space usually encountered in a conventional utopian narrative, and in doinG so, has led some commentators to dismiss the play as tedious and lackinG in dramatic interest. Its lack of conflict and the contentment of its inhabitants have led to it being described as static and dull. This interpretation has brouGht with it a readinG that concurs with the character, Severan-Severan, whose view is that misery and sufferinG are essential to the human condition and that liberation is a living death. However, this approach neglects a more complex engagement with utopia that can be traced in the play. Spectators of the play - along with the non-utopian character, Joan - respond to Greenland in a way that can be illuminated by Frederic Jameson’s idea of the ‘terror of obliteration’. This paper will explore ways in which Greenland exposes psycho-political barriers to utopia, barriers that frame the spectator’s view of the play, and it will also reveal ways in which bridGes to utopia are constantly at stake.

Through their participation in 19th-century utopian experiments, my subjects were exposed to unconventional ideas about space, gender, labor, and community. Like many other participants in such communities, my subjects also formed rhetorical alliances with larger American communities concerned with business, politics, and social norms. The project follows these rhetorical trajectories from utopian space to the public sphere, guided by my overarching question: how does space affect the rhetorical alliances of 19th-century women? Following the theoretical and methodological orientation in Chapter Two, I go on to examine three female rhetors, drawing from their published writings and speeches and archival sources within their communities or pertaining to the women themselves. Chapter Three explores the infamous Frances Wright.

  • Measuring and Making the World: Self-Promotion, Cosmology and Elite Appeal in Filarete's Libro Architettonico
    MEASURING AND MAKING THE WORLD: SELF-PROMOTION, COSMOLOGY AND ELITE APPEAL IN FILARETE’S LIBRO ARCHITETTONICO HELENA GUZIK UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD UNITED KINGDOM Date of receipt: 21st of February, 2020 Date of acceptance: 23rd of July, 2020 ABSTRACT Antonio Averlino (Filarete) (c. 1400-c. 1469) is best remembered for his architectural treatise, the Libro architettonico. Despite a longstanding tradition, beginning with Vasari, of dismissing Filarete as a mediocre artist with ridiculous ideas, his treatise ended up in some of the most prestigious courts within and beyond Italy. This article, in a corrective to that narrative, argues that Filarete was an incredibly ambitious artist and that the Libro was his attempt to channel intellectual trends of interest to the fifteenth-century ruling elite whose patronage he courted. It begins by situating the Libro within the broader context of Filarete’s consistent self-promotion and shrewd networking throughout his career. It then examines, through analysis of the text and illustrations, how the Libro was designed both to promote Filarete to his patrons and appeal to contemporary patronage tastes through its use of specific themes: ideal urban design, cosmology, and universal sovereignty. KEYWORDS Architectural Treatise, Cosmology, Intellectual Networks, Italian Court Culture, Fifteenth-century Art.

Adopting the nickname “Filarete” later in life, he 2 cultivated his identity as a “lover of virtue”, the name’s Greek1 meaning.

  • “The Spectre of Uncertainty”: Chance in Bellamy's Utopian Fictions
    “The Spectre of Uncertainty”: Chance in Bellamy’s Utopian Fictions Thomas Dikant ABSTRACT Edward Bellamy’s utopian novels Looking Backward (1888) and Equality (1897) imagine a new society of equality, justice, and a life of plenty, where no one has to fear for the security and wellbeing of their own or future generations. In Bellamy’s utopian future, the “spectre of Uncer- tainty,” which had been a permanent threat to the lives of people in the late nineteenth century, is presented as having disappeared. And yet, for all of its emphasis on security, Bellamy’s uto- pian vision in fact does not exclude chance, risk, or accident. Placing statistics at the center of his utopian economy, Bellamy imagines a society that is based on probability rather than certainty. Bellamy’s industrial workforce of the utopian future is modeled on the ideal of the army, which he envisions as both a rational organization and an organization predicated on risk. Meanwhile, the possibility of accident not only plays a considerable role in the smooth workings of the uto- pian system but is also the very precondition for the transportation of the novel’s protagonist, Julian West, into the future of the year 2000. Thus, in both Looking Backward and Equality, the unpredictable event, the error, and the accident have to be possible for utopia to exist. I. Uncertain Conditions In Edward Bellamy’s 1888 Utopian novel Looking Backward 2000-1887, “[a] spectre is haunting” late nineteenth-century Boston, but it is not—Marx and En- gels notwithstanding—“the spectre of Communism” (Marx and Engels 218).1 At the end of the novel, Julian West, the first-person narrator, finds himself one night caught in a dream.
