Perspecta taboo (4 résultats)

Trade Paperback. Etat : Used - Very Good. We are beset by unspoken rules. As a result, we learn to find consensusin nots and to seek refuge in don'ts. A taboo is a restriction invented and agreedupon by a social group that maintains stability (disciplinary order) but alsoinduces transgressions (the possibility of an avant-garde). Taboos structure ourthinking and frame our discussions. In architecture, taboos create an operative wayof thinking about and making architecture through unspoken agreement. This issue ofPerspecta--the oldest and most distinguished student-edited architectural journal inAmerica--tackles architectural unutterables. In articles and projects, historians, theorists, and practitioners investigate contemporary and historical instances oftaboo, aiming to uncover its function in the pedagogy and praxis of architecture.The contributors, asked simply 'What is Taboo?,' respond with a range ofexamples. These include an examination of the relatively unknown work of the Italianarchitect Rinaldo Semino; photographs documenting the unseen, peripheral spaces ofAmerican life; a series of marginalia illustrating certain typographic don'ts in alltheir absurdity; a study of memorials erected to Maoist insurgents killed by policeand paramilitary forces in India; and a critique, by redaction and reconstruction, of Rem Koolhaas's essay 'Typical Plan.'ContributorsPier Vittorio Aureli, Glen Cummings, Thomas de Monchaux, Arindam Dutta, Edward Eigen, Mario Gooden, AliciaImperiale, Pamela Karimi, Keith Krumwiede, Erika Naginski, NaJa &DeOstos, JorgeOtero-Pailos, Neri Oxman, Michelangelo Sabatino, Taryn Simon, Marcel Vellinga, Lo?cWacquantInterviewsSunil Bald, Thomas Beeby, Peggy Deamer, Peter Eisenman, Greg Lynn, and Robert A.
