Sydney: SAHANZ, 2015. Ari Seligmann, Monash University Inescapable Tradition: Discursive Constructions of Japanese Architecture Indicative of the period, Robin Boyd launched New Directions in Japanese Architecture (1968) considering “the inescapable tradition.” Using frameworks that continue to inform accounts of Japanese developments, Boyd reinforced understanding of Japanese architecture as a mediation of modern technologies and approaches with Japanese traditions, techniques and sensibilities. This paper combines Michel Foucault’s discourses and archaeologies with Hayden White’s narrative structures and Irit Rogoff’s criticality in a critical historiography of the discursive construction of tradition in English language accounts of Japanese architecture after World War II. It examines how a cross-section of key survey texts have narrated Japanese architecture through tropes of tradition, across the congealing of discourses in the 1950s and 1960s, perpetuation in the 1980s and diffusion at the beginning of the twenty-first

    博士論文 Representation and Contextualization of Japanese Architecture in Western Architectural Periodicals (西欧メディアにおける日本建築の表現と文脈化) ニコロヴスキ ニコラ Acknowledgments: I would like to express deep gratitude to my supervisor Prof. Kengo Kuma for the guidance and inspiration he provided during the past three years. He gave me the opportunity to be part of his laboratory and have the invaluable experience of working under his supervision. I would like to additionally thank my sub-supervisor Prof. Yusuke Obuchi for his advice and critiques, which always challenged my work and allowed me to do a better job. I appreciated all of our meetings; they motivated me and pushed me to do better. I am deeply grateful to Arata Isozaki, Fumihiko Maki, Itsuko Hasegawa, Hiromi Fujii, Botond Bognar and Tom Heneghan for giving me the opportunity to interview them and helping me to broaden my study. Without their input, this study would not be nearly so rich in content. Thanks to Prof. Jordan Sand, Prof. Dana Buntrock, Prof. Maren Harnack, Prof. Hajime Yatsuka and Prof. Seng Kuan for having the time to meet with me, discussing the topics of this thesis, and giving me valuable feedback. Many thanks to Kaon Ko for her generous help while conducting the interviews and with the subsequent translation. Thanks as well to Denton Clark and Marisa Cassidy for assisting with transcription and translation. I would further like to thank all the members of Kuma Lab for their collaboration, and MEXT for giving me the opportunity to study in Japan. I owe a lot to my parents, Lena and Sotir, and my brother Daniel for their unconditional support, love and care in the things that I do.

  • Paolo Riani: “Uncharted Territories” Di Giancarlo Cavallini
    TRIUMPH IN ITALY www.TriumphInItaly.it Paolo Riani: “uncharted territories” di Giancarlo Cavallini Un grande architetto di fama internazionale, ma anche uno scrittore, un fotografo, un autore di libri di architettura e di viaggi. Paolo Riani è tutto questo e anche di più: non è infatti solo una persona eclettica, è anche un artista dal profilo singolare, un personaggio curioso, un attento esploratore di “territori sconosciuti”, sempre sorretto da una profonda adesione alla vita e guidato da convinzioni etiche forti e imprescindibili. Lo storico dell’arte Antonio Paolucci, nel volume a lui dedicato “Uncharted territories”, scrive: “Paolo Riani sarebbe stato un maestro comacino. Sarebbe appartenuto cioè a quella corporazione di architetti girovaghi muniti di saperi e di strumenti speciali (per questo si chiamavano magistri cum machinis o maestri comacini in volgare) che giravano l’Europa dalla Catalogna all’Umbria, dalla Lombardia alla Renania, per costruire chiese e palazzi, per dare misura e ordine a città che misura e ordine avevano dimenticato”. Riani è nato a Barga nel 1937, in quei luoghi tanto amati da Giovanni Pascoli. Suo padre è ricordato come uno migliori aviatori del Primo Stormo Caccia dell’Aeronautica Militare; la madre, americana, era un ottima pianista. Paolo trascorse la sua spensierata gioventù a Montecatini dove la sua famiglia si trasferì nel 1939. Sono questi gli anni in cui cominciò a dedicarsi al disegno e alla fotografia grazie al padre che, con lungimirante sapienza, gli regalò la sua Leica 3M. Segui poi l’Università a Firenze dove Raini scelse la Facoltà di Architettura, quella disciplina che divenne sua compagna di vita.

What makes someone spend $1000 at the Ritz Paris, or $9,000 at the Burj Al Arab in Dubai? For many, being utterly pampered in an extravagant environment with a distinguished and personalized service is what defines luxury. The new millennium has brought a whole new perspective on luxury hotels; who knows what trends will be next. At luxury hotels, there are guests who return again to hotels that resemble their own opulent residences. Some stay to experience the luxury that others take for granted. There are business travelers who enjoy the residential setting with state-of-the-art technology, and there are others who don’t feel comfortable staying in a traditional setting. Therefore, catering to the needs of returning guests or new guests, business or leisure travelers, and young or old travelers is challenging.
