Goetz’s redefi nition of architecture as an endlessly recurring event of dislocation at once solves the problem of where architecture sits in relation to the other arts and, curiously, this takes us directly to the heart of the matter of Rykwert’s latest book, The Judicious Eye: Architecture against the Other Arts (2008). keywords: architecture; arts; dislocation; goetz; house; hut; paradise; rst; rykwert; space cache: interstices-365.pdf plain text: interstices-365.txt item: #92 of 306 id: interstices-367 author: Rykwert, Joseph title: Adam’s House Again date: 2009-11-07 words: 1632 flesch: 60 summary: Public social space in a city so constituted is constantly eroded by private in- terest: any conspicuous building is expected to act as a carrier of advertising.

Juliana Pallasmaa, for example, says that the energetic lines and smudges on the page of a drawing represent a kind of muscular memory in the bodily experi- ence of the draftsperson (Pallasmaa 2009: 89-105), and Mark Wigley says that the “almost-nothing” gossamer condition of architectural drawings stands for or withers in contrast to the excessive materiality and the blinding super-sufficien- cy of architecture itself (Wigley 2008). keywords: architectural; drawings; hand; heidegger; iktinos; time; work cache: interstices-378.pdf plain text: interstices-378.txt item: #100 of 306 id: interstices-379 author: Loo, Stephen title: Summoning Daena: Drawing the Parallel date: 2010-11-08 words: 4771 flesch: 59 summary: When Heidegger states that, “The rift-design is the drawing together into a unity of the sketch and basic design, breach and INTERSTICES 11 outline,” we hear an undecidability between whether design is imposed on the earth by human beings, or whether humans bring out the hidden design already there: that is, whether the human genius gives decisiveness and measure to the earth, or finds it there.

Travelling throughout America and Canada over a 10-month period, and lecturing in diverse and often unconventional venues, including the “Trimmed Hat Department” of the Eric Bros., Department Store in New York, Wilde delivered variations of four basic lectures: “The Renaissance in English Art”, a presentation on the Pre-Raphaelites and the Grosvenor Gallery Artists, “Irish Poets and Poetry of the Nineteenth Century”, “Art and the Handicraftsman” and “House Decora- tion”. keywords: aesthetic; analogy; art; beautiful; cosmopolitanism; culture; exterior; house; interior; lecture; london; new; ruskin; wilde cache: interstices-411.pdf plain text: interstices-411.txt item: #125 of 306 id: interstices-412 author: Sobelle, Stefanie title: Inscapes: Interiority in architectural fiction date: 2011-03-11 words: 5510 flesch: 57 summary: Both works tease out the relationships between book and novel, house and home, structure and inhabitant, thus daring readers to explore how and why domestic space is constituted in particular ways.

In the symbiosis of geography and history in an island nation, Lasdun recognised that British architecture is both interdependent with landscape and a form of landscape architecture, an enduring and evolving tradition from the picturesque and romanticism to modernism in which the genius of the place has been made as much as found, the fusion of new ideas, forms and spaces with those already in place, which were themselves sometimes the result of earlier migrations.36 Architects of history From the Renaissance to the early twentieth century the architect was a histori- an in the sense that an architectural treatise combined design and history, and a building was expected to manifest the character of the time and knowingly refer to earlier historical eras. keywords: architecture; building; century; climate; design; england; garden; history; landscape; lasdun; london; nature; new; novel; past; picturesque; press cache: interstices-458.pdf plain text: interstices-458.txt item: #159 of 306 id: interstices-459 author: Böhme, Gernot title: Gernot Böhme date: 2013-03-15 words: 3636 flesch: 55 summary: This kind of character always affects several senses, and for this reason can be perceived representatively through different senses, or, from the perspective of the object, can be produced through different material qualities: the cold through blue, the repellant through a glossy finish, the shrill through colour contrasts.

Perhaps not surprisingly, this systems analogy – itself a product of the development of cybernetic feedback or enfolding between the 1940s and 1960s (Sedgwick 2003: 105) – seems to closely mirror the sys- tematicity of control societies that Deleuze diagnosed and the affective capitalism sustaining it. keywords: affect; atmospheres; butler; control; england; interior; interstices; london; new; society; world cache: interstices-472.pdf plain text: interstices-472.txt item: #165 of 306 id: interstices-473 author: Tawa, Michael title: Vaporous circumambience: Towards an architectonics of atmosphere date: 2014-03-18 words: 5949 flesch: 54 summary: Fourth, a keynote nevertheless emerges; something firm yet provisional and transitional: that at- mosphere is a matter of complexion, colour and tincture; that tincture reveals as it conceals; that the tinge of something or someone or some place is an emergent phenomenon or ekstasis rendering its boundaries indeterminate; that this indeterminacy is produced by multiple senses or systems coexisting without fusing; that this coexistence manifests as a kind of shimmering surfacing or surfactance, ornamenting and embellishing; that the shimmering is also chimerical, evanescent, impermanent – or rather, that it has its own wavering temporality and dilated or aerated spatiality; finally, that this aerated circumambience is the fundamental structure of atmosphere.

Le vite de’ più eccellenti pittori, scultori e architettori established the value of individual architects’ works based on a correspondence with the virtues of the idealised architect.22 Rather than relying on the structure of allegorical divisions found in the frontispieces, Vasari explained through individual examples how virtuous acts, or the culmination of virtues in the individual, could determine beauty in art and achieve in real form what he called divine or natural perfection. keywords: architect; architecture; attributes; barbaro; bartoli; cosimo; disegno; frontispiece; gure; individual; intelletto; minerva; scienza; social; vasari cache: interstices-532.pdf plain text: interstices-532.txt item: #207 of 306 id: interstices-533 author: Furján, Helene title: Signature Effects: John Soane and The Mark of Genius date: 2006-03-20 words: 5226 flesch: 56 summary: Portrait of Sir John Soane, RA (1753-1837) Set Forth in Letters from his Friends (1775-1837).

Absence, in the experience of the built environment, comes through traces, voids or fragments similarly to the way in which the texture of decaying and fading tones in Takemitsu’s pieces draw silence into them, and, with it, other sounds that can be or become part of the sound piece.12 They evoke silence in themselves, as Miyamoto notes, inasmuch as they produce an interaction with it.13 Ma thus becomes an active agent of ambi- guity that blurs the limits between sound and silence, and removes the primacy of the author’s intention to give way to a more open musical narrative.14 Isozaki suggests ma to be better understood not only as a gap but also as “the original difference immanent in things” (2011: 95). keywords: absence; e s; japanese; music; silence; sound; space; takemitsu; venice cache: interstices-557.pdf plain text: interstices-557.txt item: #227 of 306 id: interstices-558 author: Boyd, Nina; Smitheram, Jan title: Staging tourism: Performing place date: 2019-12-20 words: 1737 flesch: 51 summary: IN T E R S T IC E S 1 9 93 P R E S E N C E NINA BOYD WITH JAN SMITHERAM Staging tourism: Performing place In New Zealand, tourism is tied to images of pristine landscapes into which archi- tecture is admitted as a romanticised diversion from urban places.
