  • Amman Architecture Between Antiquity and Modernity ALÌ ABU GHANIMEH
    Amman Architecture between Antiquity and Modernity ALÌ ABU GHANIMEH Architecture in Jordan and in Amman city, in particular, had been in uenced by different civilizations that was expanding through differ- ent eras, i.e. the Nabataean, Roman Empire and Islamic. In addition, Jordanian architecture had affected by the architecture of the other Arab countries and their cities; i.e. Jerusalem, Damascus, and Cairo, and the architectural contents of these cities, e.g. the Umayyad Mosque and the Azem Palace in Damascus, the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, and the Alazhar1 and the Ibn Tulun mosques in Cairo. In all these cases on an architectural, cultural tradition – and often religious –, it engages with one of equal dignity. In 706 a.d. the Umayyad caliph al-Walid I, resum- ing the policy of his father Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan who had built the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, decided to increase the monumental work of the capital Damascus. Therefore ordered the building of the Great Mosque, completed in 715, in the site which was the most impor- tant place of worship in the city, that was incorporating the remains of the original Christian church dedicated to St. John the Baptist, which had been built by Theodosius at the room of a pagan temple of the [ rst century. In 661, after the Arab conquest of the Roman province of Syria, the Caliph Mu’awiya ibn Abi Sufyan, erected in the Temenos, a land belonging to the ancient shrine musalla (oratory) outdoors, so for several decades Muslims and Christians celebrated their rituals side 1 The construction of the Mosque of Al-Azhar in Cairo, was initiated by Jawhar As- Siqillî, commander in chief of Al-li-Din Allah Mu’izz first Caliph of the Fatimid dynasty, who conquered Egypt and founded the city of Cairo during the month of Jumada-l-Awwal 359 dell’Hijrah year (970 ad), in the month of Ramadan to complete the year 361 H.

A person from a cold climate, who is used to be protected from nature, is instantly drawn to a tropical island where indoors cannot be separated from the outdoors “picture window” where nature is enjoyed like a picture from the protected comfort of the warm indoors Is it because for thousands of years we the human race have evolved in nature? Our intimacy with nature has been for too long a period to be ignored or disassociated. DESIRE TO BE WITH PEOPLE PREFERENCE FOR HANDMADE PRODUCTS & LOCAL MATERIALS We notice amongst people, irrespective of our geographical location, a general visual and tactile bias towards products where we can feel a human touch. Whether the product is an item of clothing; furniture; a household item we use every day or something we put in our homes to satisfy our aesthetic desires, we put more value on products that have a human behind its creation. All forms of Art are valued the most. Art, thankfully till now, cannot be factory produced.

  • Tradition Employing in Contemporary Arabic Architecture the Architect Rasem Badran " Specialty of " Luma Abdalwahhab Al-Dabbagh Dr
    : . / / . : Tradition Employing in Contemporary Arabic Architecture the Architect Rasem Badran " Specialty of " Luma Abdalwahhab Al-Dabbagh Dr. Asma Hasan Al-Dabbagh Lecturer / Dept. of Architecture Engineer / Dept. of Architecture College of Eng. /Univ. of Mosul College of Eng. /Univ. of Mosul ABSTRACT Many of modern studies attached special importance to the phenomenon of employing tradition in Architecture generally, and in Arabic region especially, because it considered as a tool for reviving societies, as it has rational and human principles which could be employed, therefore it was the problem area for this research, trying to recognize it first, and come out with theoretical framework by scrutiny in previous studies in this context second, it appears that items of theoretical framework related with conceptual principles which architects believes toward tradition employing, formulations and degree of employing, and finally employing mechanisms . The research appliance for framework items in practical study was aiming to test it scientifically, and it chosen the Architect Rasem Badran to show his specialty. The findings show that Badarn has fixed conceptual principle in tradition employing which was the evolving interpretative one, which related with certain values to the rest of theoretical framework items. The conclusions proved the research hypotheses, and confirm thinkers viewpoints about Badran especially, as he respects and dignifies tradition, therefore architects could apply Badran's manner in their new products, but the conclusions also rises many questions about preciseness of previous classifications dealing with conceptual principles for the architects and there belonging to it .

  • PULSATION in ARCHITECTURE Eric Goldemberg
    JR0235_ BR Full color, revolutionary work on digital architecture NEW! PULSATION IN ARCHITECTURE Eric Goldemberg Pulsation in Architecture makes a very strong case, as the title suggests, for not only movement in archi- tecture—whirling, swirling, curling and more—but for a movement in architecture as well. Eric Goldemberg’s se- lection of architects and their works captures a constel- lation of architectural ideas hurtling along the vector of digital innovation like proton beams in the Large Hadron Collider. While many of these designers are quite well known in their own right, Goldemberg’s compilation suggests greater global affinities than might otherwise be supposed. —Terence Riley, Architect Retail Price: $89.95 Special Promotional Price: $79.95 when Ordered Direct from J. Ross Publishing Order online at WWW.JROSSPUB.COM or call 954-727-9333 ext.2 pulsation in architecture Pulsation in Architecture highlights the role of digital de- sign as the catalyst for a new spatial sensibility related to rhythmic perception. It proposes a novel critical reception of computational architecture based on the ability of digi- tal design to move beyond mere instrumentality, and to engage with core aspects of the discipline: the generative engine of digital architecture reinvigorates a discourse of part-to-whole relationships through the lens of rhythmic affect. There is a paradigm shift in spatial perception due to the intense use of computational techniques and the capacity to morph massive amounts of data in spatial patterns; rhythm plays a pivotal role in the articulation of the topology of buildings, generating the atmospheric character that induces moods and throbbing sensations in space.

The exhibition features over 40 architects, ranging from renowned 20th century masters and internationally celebrated contemporary architects such as Tadao Ando, Toyo Ito, Kazuyo Sejima (SANAA) and Kenzo Tange; to exciting figures little known outside of Japan including Osamu Ishiyama, Kazunari Sakamoto and Kazuo Shinohara, and young rising stars such as Hideyuki Nakayama and Chie Konno. The Japanese House presents some of the most ground- breaking architectural projects of the last 70 years, many of which have never before been exhibited in the UK. The exhibition also incorporates film and photography in order to cast a new light on the role of the house in Japanese culture. The Japanese House: Architecture and Life after 1945 opens at Barbican Art Gallery on 23 March 2017.

  • Top Japanese Architects
    TOP JAPANESE ARCHITECTS CURRENT VIEW OF JAPANESE ARCHITECTURE by Judit Taberna To be able to understand modern Japanese architecture we must put it into its historic context, and be aware of the great changes the country has undergone. Japan is an ancient and traditional society and a modern society at the same time. The explanation for this contradiction lies in the rapid changes resulting from the industrial and urban revolutions which began in Japan in the Meiji period and continued with renewed force in the years after the second world war. At the end of the nineteenth century, during the Meiji period, the isolation of the country which had lasted almost two centuries came abruptly to an end; it was the beginning of a new era for the Japanese who began to open up to the world. They began to study European and American politics and culture. Many Japanese architects traveled to Europe and America, and this led to the trend of European modernism which soon became a significant influence on Japanese architecture. With the Second World War the development in modern Japanese architecture ground to a halt, and it was not until a number of years later that the evolution continued. Maekawa and Sakura, the most well known architects at the time, worked with Le Corbusier and succeeded in combining traditional Japanese styles with modern architecture. However Kenzo Tange, Maekawa's disciple, is thought to have taken the first step in the modern Japanese movement. The Peace Center Memorial Museum at Hiroshima 1956, is where we can best appreciate his work.

Establishing Kuwait’s as modern, democratic, and independent nation, paradoxically, depended on a network of international organizations, foreign consultants, and world-renowned architects to build a series of architectural projects with a hybrid of local and foreign forms and functions to produce a convincing image of Kuwait national autonomy. Kuwait nationalism relied on architecture’s ability, as an art medium, to produce a seamless image of Kuwait as a modern country and led to citing it as one of the most democratic states in the Middle East. The construction of all major projects of Kuwait’s nation building followed a similar path; for example, all mashare’e kubra [major projects] of the state that started early 1960s included particular geometries, monumental forms, and symbolic elements inspired by the vernacular life of Kuwait to establish its legitimacy.
