The present work would never have been possible without the help and support of many people who have accompanied me throughout this process for several years. Of them all, it is fair to start by extending my gratitude to my supervisor, Prof. Dr. Carlos Tapia Martín, because he already conceived this project long before it was in my mind. He showed me a new way of understanding (and doing) architecture, a discipline which I would probably have abandoned if not for his lectures in third year. He also introduced me to my other supervisor, Prof. Dr. David Grahame Shane, whom I would like to thank for his great patience and commitment, as well as his ability to bring order to chaos when the investigation was veering off course. The third component of this triad has been my academic tutor, Prof. Dr. Víctor Pérez Escolano, whose unconditional support and trust have been essential for this project. I would also like to thank the teams of the Institute of Architecture and Building Science and the Doctoral Program in Architecture of the University of Seville for the work they have done during these years to improve the quality and promote the internationalization of research. I am particularly grateful to Prof. Dr. Antonio Tejedor Cabrera, the director of both entities, for his guidance and interest in this project; and to the members of the research group Out_Arquias [HUM853] for supporting and giving me space. During my research stays at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne and Delft University of Technology, I have been fortunate to meet many people who have enriched my perspectives and contributed to this work. I am very grateful to Prof. Dieter Dietz and Prof. Dr. Roberto Cavallo for their welcome and assistance, allowing me to work jointly with their teams during those months. The contributions of some colleagues have been especially relevant to this project; therefore, I would like to thank Dr. Caroline Dionne, Dr. Darío Negueruela, Dr. Maurice Harteveld, Dr. Heidi Sohn, Dr. Susanne Komossa, Dr. Arnoud de Waaijer, Mark Pimlott and Oscar Rommens for their valuable comments and appreciations. I am also grateful to Dr. Gregory Bracken, Dr. Tuna Tasan Kok and Dr. Xiaoxi Hui for helping me get out of “the Eurocentric trap,” even for a few moments. I could not forget the students of the MSc 2 studio, who have reinforced my vocation for teaching and brought a refreshing outlook into some of my ideas. I am also indebted to the staff of the Architecture Department of the Regional Ministry of Development and Housing (Junta de Andalucía) for hosting me for a year and showing me the role of public administration with regard to the development of public space policies. I have really learnt a lot from them, since they have helped me to become aware of the reality of my immediate environment. I would also like to thank those who have allowed me to access their work and materials to build this work. In this sense, Steven K. Peterson holds a special place for his availability and generosity when discussing and updating his contributions. Thanks also to Igor Hansen for making available to me the wonderful archive of his parents, Oskar and Zofia Hansen, because the personal dicovery of their work 9 has been a deeply moving experience. Obviously, this acknoledgement extends to the staff of all the libraries that I have visited, both those of the aforementioned universities and those of the Architects’ Association of Catalonia and Kunsthalle Basel. Finally, these last words of gratitude are for the most important people in my life, without whom I would not have been able to carry this work to fruition. Therefore, it is dedicated to my parents, who have always supported me and put my career and well-being above everything else. To my sister Maria, for being my confidant and for being always there to share our mutual concerns. To Fran, for everything; for his patience, for being my positive counterpart and cheering me up in bad times. To my friends and colleagues, for reminding me that there is life beyond the screen and the word processor... and to my grandfather Tomás, wherever he is, for teaching me how to read, write and, above all, to think. 10 11 (DE)CENTERING. Ich habe den Geist Europas in mich genommen –nun will ich den Gegenschlag thun! (Friedrich Nietzsche, Fragmente Anfang 1880 bis Sommer 1882, vol. 3, chapter 9, 8 [77]) The sun never shines at the same time in the same way. The Geopolitics of philosophers Peter Sloterdijk and Alain Finkielkraut clearly point it the Sun out during an intense dialogue by stating that “geopolitics of the sun have become simple and plain geopolitics” (2008, 149). The image of the sun has been habitual in religious and philosophical discourses, since it functions as an absolute point of reference from which to establish a relation towards the Other(s) while defining space in time. In this regard, the philosopher Ray Brassier transforms Freud’s words in Beyond the Pleasure Principle: “In the last resort, what has left its mark on the development of [philosophy]1 must be the history of the earth we live on and of its relation to the sun” (Brassier 2003, 421). Every day, when the clocks in London strike 10 in the morning and until 11.59, three different days coexist in the Earth at the same time. During this short period, it is 23.00 the previous day at the American Samoa, and 00.00 the next day at Kirimati Island, in Kiribati. This temporal juxtaposition, which takes place day after day, is a product of the human need for organizing spaces and times with respect to natural courses and the path of the sun. Although the cycle is permanent and has slightly changed in millions of years, the measurement of time has helped to generate a differential spatial conscience. Even if each point in the Earth’s surface has a specific solar time –more or less similar to that of the areas included within its time zone, a system which became popular during the second half of the nineteenth century– each region has adapted this zone according to geopolitical reasons. Therefore, time zones are not identical segments, but irregular areas covering the surface of the planet. Thus, natural time is distorted and translated into a sort of “functional” time, a time depending on geopolitical circumstances. For example, most of 1 Freud was referring to “organisms.” Introduction 13 01 the EU countries share a same time zone (GMT+1), while some of them –such as Portugal, or some islands of Spain–2 are geographically located within the GMT time zone. Continental China shows another particular situation, as the whole country is included within the Beijing time zone (GMT+8) while, following strictly geographic parameters, it covers five of them. World as Domination of time and space, as well as the relations of constellations interdependence established between them, assigns to each community a point of reference from which to understand their reality, themselves and the others.3 Thus, the world appears as a constellation, a myriad of times and spaces which coexist and happen 2 The time zone of mainland Spain was changed in 1940 during the dictatorship of Francisco Franco, in order to make it coincide with the German schedule.

I am truly indebted to you for your unending generosity, ingenuity and determination; for taking the risks (for many of us, yet again) and continuing to fight and create. It is your voices and experiences that are central to me in these pages and I hope that you will find here something that touches a part of you, not in a nostalgic way, but as an impulse to act. First and foremost, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to my supervisor, Dr Laurence Cox, whose unfaltering encouragement, assistance, advice and expert knowledge were invaluable for the successful completion of this research. He was always an enormously responsive and generous mentor and his critique helped sharpen this thesis in many ways. Thank you for being supportive also in so many other areas and for ushering me in to the complex world of activist research. I am also grateful to Eddie Yuen who helped me find my way around Oakland and introduced me to many Occupy participants – your help was priceless and I really enjoyed meeting you. I wanted to thank Prof. Szymon Wróbel for debates about philosophy and conversations about life as well as for his continuing support.

Though Auguste Rodin struggled over twenty years to express through sculpture the desperation of souls that are falling from Grace, he never finished his magnificent obsession. Auguste Rodin (1840-1917), THE GATES OF HELL, 1880-1900, Bronze, 250-3/4 x 158 x 33-3/8 in. Posthumous cast authorized by Musée Rodin, 1981. Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Center for Visual Arts at Stanford University; gift of the B. Gerald Cantor Collection. Photograph by Frank Wing. The Final Judgment in Christian Art 51 Falling BY HEIDI J. HORNIK uguste Rodin accepted his first major commission, The Gates of Hell, when he was forty years old. This sculpture was to be the door- Away for the École des Arts Dècoratifs in Paris. Though the muse- um of decorative arts was not built, Rodin struggled over twenty years to depict the damned as they approach the entrance into hell. He never finished. The sculpture was cast in bronze after the artist’s death, using plaster casts taken from his clay models. The Gates of Hell, like Michelangelo’s Last Judgment, lays out its mean- ing through a turbulent and multi-figured design. The identities of many figures in the composition are not immediately apparent. Instead Rodin challenges us to make sense of the whole work by dissecting its elements and recalling its artistic influences.† The Three Shades at the very top, for example, derives from Greek thought about Hades.

    PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Hosseinabadi First name: Sanaz Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: School of Architecture Faculty: Built Environment Title: Residual Meaning in Architectural Geometry: Tracing Spiritual and Religious Origins in Contemporary European Architectural Geometry Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Architects design for more than the instrumental use of a buildings. Geometry is fundamental in architectural design and geometries carry embodied meanings as demonstrated through the long history of discursive uses of geometry in design. The meanings embedded in some geometric shapes are spiritual but this dimension of architectural form is largely neglected in architectural theory. This thesis argues that firstly, these spiritual meanings, although seldom recognised, are important to architectural theory because they add a meaningful dimension to practice and production in the field; they generate inspiration, awareness, and creativity in design. Secondly it will also show that today’s architects subconsciously use inherited geometric patterns without understanding their spiritual origins. The hypothesis was tested in two ways: 1) A scholarly analysis was made of a number of case studies of buildings drawn from different eras and regions. The sampled buildings were selected on the basis of the significance of their geometrical composition, representational symbolism of embedded meaning, and historical importance. The analysis clearly traces the transformation, adaptation or representation of a particular geometrical form, or the meaning attached to it, from its historical precedents to today. 2) A scholarly analysis was also made of a selection of written theoretical works that describe the design process of selected architects.

  • What Remains of the Italian Left of the 1970S? Jonathan Mullins
    What Remains of the Italian Left of the 1970s? Jonathan Mullins Suddenly a photograph reaches me; it animates me and I animate it. So that is how I must name the attraction which makes it exist: an animation. The photograph itself is in no way animated (I do not believe in ‘life-like’ photographs), but it animates me: this is what creates every adventure. —Roland Barthes, Camera Lucida1 In September 1977, 20,000 young leftists descended upon Bologna for a convention at the Palasport stadium. The convention is largely identified with the end of the movement of 1977, in which youth on the far left broke with the Italian Communist Party (PCI), ridiculed institutional politics and the very idea of the social contract, and adopted forms of direct action. It is known for its mass protests, which usually ended in confrontations with the police in the streets, and for its broadcasts, via free radio stations, of messages of refusal that mixed aesthetic forms and political discourse. These young people had come to Bologna, the historical stronghold of the PCI, to protest the police repression of the movement, to re-vitalize collective forms of dissent and just be together. This scene was one of the last hurrahs of non-violent, collective far leftist revolt of 1970s Italy. It was captured in forty- nine minutes of unedited 16mm footage by the commercial production company Unitelefilm that is held at the Audio-Visual Archive for Democratic and Labor Movements (AAMOD) in Rome.2 The footage is remarkable for its recording of what happened on the margins of the Palasport convention and not the convention itself; the viewer never sees any of the orations, banners or charged publics that gathered at the Palasport stadium where the convention took place.

Up to the present, however, formalist approaches have proven insufficient for decodifying the clear design which can be intuited in the language.
