Tapa blanda. Etat : Bueno. SINOPSIS: The pristine, the ruined, the ephemeral, and even the notional are the subject of Robert Harbison's highly original and admittedly romantic contribution to the literature of architecture. His fresh perceptions open this practical art to new interpretations as he explores the means by which buildings, real or imagined, evade or surpass functional necessities while sometimes satisfying them. What fascinates Harbison in these discussions are the paradoxes and ironies of function that give rise to meaning, to a psychological impact that may or may not have been intended. He chooses examples from an architectural borderland - of gardens, monuments, ideal cities and fortification, ruins, paintings, and unbuildable buildings -where use and symbolism overlap; he examines the exceptions at the edge.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. 192 pages. Small chip to bottom of spineThe pristine, the ruined, the ephemeral, and even the notional are the subjec t of Robert Harbison's highly original and admittedly romantic contribution to t he literature of architecture. His fresh perceptions open this practical art to new interpretations as he explores the means by which buildings, real or imagine d, evade or surpass functional necessities while sometimes satisfying them. What fascinates Harbison in these discussions are the paradoxes and ironies of funct ion that give rise to meaning, to a psychological impact that may or may not hav e been intended. He chooses examples from an architectural borderland - of garde ns, monuments, ideal cities and fortification, ruins, paintings, and unbuildable buildings -where use and symbolism overlap; he examines the exceptions at the e dges of a field that will illuminate its center. Harbison's pursuit of man's eff orts to fashion art from nonhuman life begins with a consideration of gardens and the organic architecture of the English Arts and Crafts movement and of Gaud i, then turns to monuments (Claes Oldenburg, Christo, the Vietnam Memorial) that are either the nearest or the furthest thing from gardens. Harbison's discuss ion of fortification and urban planning leads to metaphorical themes (fort-featu res in churches or prisons or Fascist municipal buildings) and mocked-up worlds (Williamsburg, Disneyland), and to the subject of fictional space as expressed i n ruins, in painting, in the unbuildable, and finally in the inconceivable as re vealed in Kafka's sketches.Robert Harbison has lectured widely on archite cture at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the University of Toronto, Stanfo rd University, Cornell University, and the Architectural Association, London.
