He will continue to direct the survey project . Richard Goisman Bob Bruegmann and Bob Blandford have assumed editorial and administrative leadership of the book, Katherine Hamilton-Smith respectively . Building upon the foundation created by Keith and consulting with the Editorial Advisory Seymour Persky Board, they are working closely with the book’s publisher, Michael Williams of CityFiles Press, and with me . Web Master For those of you who don’t know Bob Blandford, he is an associate professor in the Arts, Entertainment, Barry Birnbaum and Media Management Department at Columbia College Chicago . Before joining the faculty at Columbia College in 2006, he held senior positions at museums and cultural institutions including the Museum of CADS Magazine the City of New York and the National Building Museum in Washington, D C.

  • Le Corbusier Y El Salon D' Automne De París. Arquitectura Y
    Le Corbusier y el Salon d’ Automne de París. Arquitectura y representación, 1908-1929 José Ramón Alonso Pereira “Arquitectura y representación” es un tema plural que abarca tanto la figuración como la manifestación, Salón d’ Automne imagen y escenografía de la arquitectura. Dentro de él, se analiza aquí cómo Le Corbusier plantea una interdependencia entre la arquitectura y su imagen que conlleva no sólo un nuevo sentido del espacio, sino Le Corbusier también nuevos medios de representarlo, sirviéndose de los más variados vehículos expresivos: de la acuarela Équipement de l’habitation al diorama, del plano a la maqueta, de los croquis a los esquemas científicos y, en general, de todos los medios posibles de expresión y representación para dar a conocer sus inquietudes y sus propuestas en un certamen Escala singular: el Salón de Otoño de París; cuna de las vanguardias. Espacio interior Le Corbusier concurrió al Salón d’ Automne con su arquitectura en múltiples ocasiones. A él llevó sus dibujos de Oriente y a él volvió en los años veinte a exhibir sus obras, recorriendo el camino del arte-paisaje a la arquitectura y, dentro de ella -en un orden inverso, anti-clásico-, de la gran escala o escala urbana a la escala edificatoria y a la pequeña escala de los espacios interiores y el amueblamiento. “Architecture and Representation” is a plural theme that includes both figuration as manifestation, image and Salon d’ Automne scenography of architecture. Within it, here it is analyzed how Le Corbusier proposes an interdependence between architecture and image that entails not only a new sense of space, but also new means of representing it, using Le Corbusier the most varied expressive vehicles: from watercolor to diorama, from plans to models, from sketches to scientific Équipement de l’habitation schemes and, in general, using all possible expression and representation means to make known their concerns and their proposals, all of them within a singular contest: the Paris’s Salon d’ Automne; cradle of art avant-gardes.

  • Historic Walking Tour – East
    5 NAPERVILLE Historic Walking Tour – East 3rd printing, revised Spring 2006 Brief Summary of Naperville’s Past In 1831, Captain Joseph Naper traveled from Ashtabula, Ohio, to the fertile soil of Illinois, approximately 30 miles west of Chicago, near the DuPage River. He brought along several families and individuals as well as plans and provisions for establishing a community. By early 1832, Naper’s Settlement had 180 people dwelling in it, along with a trading house, mills and a school. The following year saw a post office and frame homes erected. Naperville’s early development was possible because a road connecting Chicago and Ottawa, and the Galena Road (now Aurora Avenue), passed through town. Naperville was home to the county seat from 1839 until 1867, when Wheaton contested and gained the rights. Completion of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad through Naperville in 1864 helped spur growth and was responsible for opening the Chicago market to the town’s already flourishing nurseries, breweries and quarries. The railroad also enabled the Naperville Lounge Company (later Kroehler Manufacturing Company) to grow into one of the world’s largest furniture manufacturers. Pioneer settler and real estate developer Morris Sleight once owned much of the land on the east side of Naperville. By the time of his death in 1863, he had amassed a total of 473 acres, which were developed into residential plots. Most homes in this tour are frame, two-story single-family dwellings, though some of masonry can be found. Throughout the area, the Italianate Style predominates. Other architectural styles include Queen Anne, National Folk, Stick, Craftsman, Prairie School, Gothic, and Classical Revival.

  • Performa Announces Pioneering Partnership with Lafayette Anticipation, Fondation Galeries Lafayette, Paris for Performa 15
    For Immediate Release September 3, 2015 PERFORMA ANNOUNCES PIONEERING PARTNERSHIP WITH LAFAYETTE ANTICIPATION, FONDATION GALERIES LAFAYETTE, PARIS FOR PERFORMA 15 PRESENTING WORKS BY ULLA VON BRANDENBURG, VOLMIR CORDEIRO, PAULINE CURNIER JARDIN, SIMON FUJIWARA, CHRISTODOULOS PANAYIOTOU, AND ERIKA VOGT New York—Performa, the internationally acclaimed organization dedicated to live performance across disciplines, announces a pioneering partnership with Lafayette Anticipation, Fondation Galeries Lafayette in Paris to launch during Performa’s 2015 biennial. Since its inception in 2004, Performa has been a leader in commissioning live performances by artists working in the field of visual arts. Likewise Lafayette Anticipation has established itself as a major player in producing ambitious new works by contemporary artists and designers since its creation in 2013. Both organizations strive to deepen this shared commitment and actively collaborate in mentoring and supporting artists to conceive, create, develop, and deliver stunning new works that will shape the visual art landscape of the twenty-first century. In anticipation of its 2017 Grand Opening in a building rehabilitated by internationally renowned architect Rem Koolhaas in the heart of Paris, Lafayette Anticipation organizes temporary peripatetic sessions. Part- workshops, part-showcases, these gatherings unfold as intense research programs that explore the various missions of the upcoming operational foundation, from its relationship to design and fashion to its creative online presence or the role of an artists’ library within the building. Since the beginning, performance has held a special place in the program, including projects such as the nighttime poetic street procession conceived by British artist Simon Fujiwara and the commission of a short film by French experimental ballet dancer Benjamin Millepied captured in the building’s construction site.

I argue that the emergence of the category of abstract art in the 1920s is grounded in a voluntaristic impulse to remake the world. I argue that the consolidation of abstract art as a movement emerged out of the Parisian reception of a new Soviet art practice that contained a political impetus that was subsequently obscured as this moment passed. The occultation of this historical context laid the groundwork for the postwar “multiplication” of the meanings of abstraction, and the later tendency to associate its early programmatic aspirations with a more apolitical mysticism. Abstraction has a long and varied history as both a conceptual-aesthetic practice and as an ideal.

He regaled the boys with their favorite subjects: crowd size, Hillary Clinton, and fake news. For good measure, he treated the Scouts to a curse word. Upon arrival back at Mar-a-Lago, even though his dog Ridgewood (who was named after the imposing landmark Ridgewood Savings Bank building on Queens Boulevard) still recognized him, Trump noticed a change as soon as he opened the barrel vaulted front door and walked into the entrance hall.

  • The Hennebique Archives: Toward a New Corpus for Contemporary Architectural History
    214 American Archivist / Vol. 59 / Spring 1996 The Users Downloaded from http://meridian.allenpress.com/american-archivist/article-pdf/59/2/214/2748875/aarc_59_2_6r8g575725414x37.pdf by guest on 25 September 2021 The Hennebique Archives: Toward a New Corpus for Contemporary Architectural History GILLES RAGOT Abstract: The voluminous archives of the Hennebique engineering firm, which was a pioneer in reinforced concrete construction, provides an example of processing procedures and priorities for architectural records. The completeness and heterogeneous nature of architectural records greatly influence processing time. It is necessary to balance the needs of both historians and archivists when processing records, and it is also necessary to preserve the records not just of significant buildings or architects, but of the ordinary architects, and the non-architects who influenced architectural works, in order to develop a fuller picture of the development of the landscapes in which we live. About the author: Gilles Ragot holds a doctorate in Art History from the Universite de Paris IV Sorbonne. Working at the Institut Francais d'architecture from 1984 to 1994, he was instrumental in the creation of the Centre d'archives d 'architecture du 20e siecle in Paris, for which he was curator from 1988 to 1994. He is currently a professor at the School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture at the Universite de Bordeaux where he organized the Centre d'archives d'architecture et de paysage in Aquitaine (France). The author would like to acknowledge the kind assistance of Gwenael Delhumeau in the preparation of this paper. The Hennebique Archives 215 The Centre d'Archives d'Architecture du Vingtieme Siecle THE ARCHIVES OF THE Hennebique engineering firm, a pioneer in reinforced concrete construction, was deposited with the Centre d'archives d'architecture du vingtieme siecle of the Institut Frangais d'Architecture (IFA) in 1989, the year the archives center opened.
