It reveals how the legacy of this short period in history shaped - and continues to shapeRome’s contemporary cityscape in powerful ways, and examines what this can tell us about the persistence of troubling political and historical legacies in the built environment Adding a new chapter to the architectural history of Rome, this fascinating history brings architecture, politics, and art together as living, contested experiences in a host of different locations around contemporary Rome

Is Architecture Art?
Architecture and Aesthetic Theory Since the 18th Century
John MacArthur, University of Queensland, Australia
Is Architecture Art? explores the key conceptual questions about the aesthetic appreciation of architecture and its persistently contested status as an art form It engages the work of thinkers ranging from Hume and Kant to Adorno, Tafuri, and Rancière, and draws on accessible and thought-provoking accounts of historical and contemporary architectural and art theory Taking novel approaches to issues that will be familiar to the practising architect, Is Architecture Art? will provoke discussion and debate, and force a new understanding of the purpose of architectural practice in the contemporary era as the concepts of ‘art’, ‘the arts’, and of the creative economy have shifted and blurred as never before

Analogical Thinking in Architecture
Connecting Design and Theory in the Built Environment
Jean-Pierre Chupin, University of Montreal, Canada
This book looks at how “analogical thinking”— a way of reasoning in which symbolic connections allow designers to address complexity—offers an agile way to respond to the heterogeneous, and often contradictory, value systems prevalent in architectural design Offering a reappraisal of theories on the role of analogical thinking by prominent architects including Aldo Rossi, Peter Eisenman, Frederick Kiesler; historians; and theoreticians, the book provides both a comprehensive introduction to the concept of “analogical thinking” in architecture and the first theorization of analogy specifically within the field of the built environment.

Design and the Vernacular Interpretations for Contemporary Architectural Practice and Theory
Edited
by Paul Memmott, John Ting, Tim O’Rourke & Marcel VellingaThis book explores the intersection between vernacular architecture, local cultures, and modernity and globalization Focussing on Australasia and Oceania, it examines the relevance of vernacular architecture to contemporary urban planning and architectural design, placing this against a contextual background of rapid political, economic, technological, social and environmental changes including globalization, exchanges of people, finance, material culture, and digital technologies Seventeen chapters by architects, designers and theorists, including Indigenous writers, provide valuable case studies and lessons for architecture in other global regions and challenge assumptions about vernacular architecture being anachronistic and static, instead demonstrating how it can shape contemporary architecture, nation building and cultural identities

Building/Object
Shared and Contested Territories of Design and Architecture
Edited by Charlotte Ashby, Birkbeck University of London, UK & Mark Crinson, Birkbeck University, UK
Building/Object addresses the space in-between the conventional objects of design and the conventional objects of architecture – a space often neglected because of the disciplinary differences that have developed between design history and architectural history It does this across 13 distinct essays, each examining things which are neither objectlike or building-like, but somewhere in between – air conditioning; bookshelves; partition walls; table-monuments; TVs; convenience stores; cars – with the twofold aim both of giving these areas new weight and intellectual interest in our understanding of the human environment, and of probing and reassessing the differences between the disciplines of design history and architectural history

Mary Kelly's Concentric Pedagogy
Selected Writings
Mary Kelly Edited by Juli CarsonThis book collects classic essays together with never-before published archival documents detailing the innovative pedagogical program of major artist and thinker Mary Kelly It brings to the fore how a democratic studio teaching practice, mainstream today, is historically an effect of the feminist pedagogy Kelly has advocated and practiced over many years In our current moment of renewed calls to rethink the structures of power that shape academic discourse on art and culture, Kelly’s work presented here is evidence that the intersection of teaching, artistic practice, and radical political engagement can be transformative

Space Feminisms People, Planets, Power
Edited by Marie-Pier Boucher, Claire Webb, Annick Bureaud & Nahum Romero
Space Feminisms examines how scientific, popular, scholarly, and artistic imaginations of outer space have, since the 1950s, reflected and embedded Earthly hopes, anxieties, and futures It centres feminism as a mode by which to both theorize and materialize a redistribution of social power around space exploration, space science, and human presence in extra-Earth environments At the intersection of scientific, cultural, social, and artistic speculations, the essays in this book gather leading scholars, scientists, artists, and designers to develop innovative tactics and disruptive participations to create generative, alternative, and careful futures of and in outer space

Curating Transcultural Spaces
Perspectives on Postcolonial Conflicts in Museum Culture
Edited by Sarah Hegenbart,
Munich, Germany
Technical UniversityThe first art historical English-language study of its kind, this book considers Germany's failed engagement with its colonial past and argues for the necessity of taking postcolonial thinking on board when constructing museum spaces in order to generate genuine exchange between multiple perspectives Curating Transcultural Spaces argues that the 'scandal' of the Humboldt Forum, where appropriation of national collections of many world cultures revealed insensitivity towards non-Western cultures, has precipitated an eruption of identity conflicts in Germany, bound up with its histories of colonialism, National-Socialism, the GDR, and reunification, as well as its current status as country shaped by immigration and multiculturalism

Old-fashioned eye goggles, lace corsets, leather vests, brass gears and gadgets, mechanical clocks, the look appears across popular culture, in movies, art, fashion, and literature Steampunk expresses optimism for the future but it also delivers a note of caution about our human role in light of the ubiquitous machine Thus, despite adopting an aesthetic and lifestyle straight out of the Victorian scientific romance, steampunk addresses significant 21st-century concerns about what lies ahead for humankind

Gustave Caillebotte as Worker, Collector, Painter
Samuel Raybone, Aberystwyth University, UK
Gustave Caillebotte was more than a painter: he collected and researched postage stamps; designed and built yachts; administered and participated in the sport of yachting; collected paintings; cultivated and collected rare orchids; designed and tended his gardens; and engaged in local politics
Gustave Caillebotte as Worker, Collector, Painter presents the first comprehensive account of Caillebotte’s manifold activities It presents a completely new critical interpretation of Caillebotte’s broad career that highlights the singular salience of ‘work’, and which intersects histories and theories of visual culture, ideology, and psychoanalysis
Where the recent art historical ‘rediscovery’ of Caillebotte offers multiple narratives of his identification with working men, this book goes beyond them towards excavating what his work was in its own terms

Ephemerality and Demolition in Postwar Visual Culture
Mona Hadler, Brooklyn College and City University of New York, USA
Destruction Rites explores the ephemeral visual culture of destruction in the postwar era and its links to contemporary art It examines the demolition derby; games and toys based on warfare; playgrounds situated in bomb sites; and the rise of garage sales, where goods designed for obsolescence and destined for the garbage heap are reclaimed and repurposed by local communities
Mona Hadler looks at artists such as Jean Tinguely, Niki de Saint Phalle, Martha Rosler and Vito Acconci to expose how the 1960s saw destruction, construction and the everyday collide as never before

Images of Sex Work in Early Twentieth-Century America
Gender, Sexuality and Race in the Storyville Portraits
Mollie LeVeque
Storyville was the infamous red-light district of New Orleans It was a world where normative social values didn’t apply and was shrouded in mystery and myth until the photographs of E J Bellocq were rediscovered Bellocq’s depictions of Storyville’s sex workers have typically been treated as tragic, ominous and emblematic of New Orleans’ singularity Yet, such interpretations have projected gendered stereotypes of frailty and victimhood onto the women they portrayed In Images of Sex Work, Mollie LeVeque interrogates these glib readings and argues that sex work was a routine aspect of life in a modern city She supports this theory by examining a range of cultural forms In doing so, she advances the new argument that Bellocq humanised his subjects, de-sensationalised sex work and gave these women the dignity they were all too often denied

Relationality
An Emergent Politics of Life Beyond the Human
Arturo Escobar, University of North Carolina, USA, Michal Osterweil, University of North Carolina, USA & Kriti Sharma, California Institute of Technology, USA
Relationality argues that at the root of the contemporary crisis of climate, energy, food, inequality, and meaning is a certain core presupposition that structures the ways in which we live, think, act and design: the assumption of dualism, or the fundamental separateness of things The key to constructing livable worlds lies in the cultivation of ways of knowing and acting based on a profound awareness of the fundamental interdependence of everything that exists – relationality The authors explain and exemplify the modes of operation and the dire consequences of non-relational living, and they elucidate the nature of designing “relationally”

Exploring the essential question of how motherhood and fashion interact, this collection interrogates their relationships to power, misogyny, temporality, longing and embodiment 18 essays examine representations on film, in popular print and literature; using images, narrative and material evidence from the past to excavate how mothers have been expected to hide, display, share and sacrifice their bodies
An international range of scholars trace three centuries of how fashion and motherhood have operated as powerfully interdependent experiences and continue to determine how women are judged and corralled, yet also find meaning, connection and strength

Dressing and Undressing Duchamp
Ingrid E. Mida, Independent Art and Dress Historian, Artist and Curator, Canada
Marcel Duchamp’s engagement with clothing has been little-studied However, photographs of the artist immediately reveal his knowledge of the significance of fashion and clothing to the visual representation of the self This book explores clothing and dressing as significant themes that recur in Duchamp’s life and his work –including his drawings, his fashioning of his body, his readymades, and his curatorial gestures In considering the material traces of Duchamp’s fashioning of his body and identity, this book makes a highly original contribution to the understanding of his work and the significance of the clothed body in the vanguard of Modernism.

Dress and Identity in America
The Baby Boom Years 1946-1964
Daniel Delis Hill, Fashion Historian, UK
Dress and Identity in America 1946-1964 is an examination of the conservatism and materialism that swept across the country in the late 1940s through the 1950s—a backlash to the wartime tumult, privations, and social upheavals It looks at how American men sought to recapture a masculine identity from a generation earlier, that of the stoic patriarch, breadwinner, and dutiful father; and how American women were now expected to stay at home as housewives and mothers Through these examples it analyses the sociocultural and socio-political causes for changes in dress and identity over the period, and how the baby-boom generation came to reject these trends

Shirts, Shifts and Sheets of Fine Linen
British Seamstresses from the 17th to the 19th centuries
Pam Inder, Independent Scholar, UK
In the 17th and early 18th centuries, seamstressing was a trade for women who worked in linen and cotton Some of these seamstresses were consummate craftswomen, able to skilfully sew with stitches almost invisible to the naked eye By the 1840s, however, most seamstresses were sweated workers paid unbelievably low rates per dozen for the garments they produced, notorious examples of downtrodden, exploited womenfolk This book explores the seamstress’s change of status and the reasons for it, hinting at the resurgence of the trade today in a climate where few 21st century women can repair and alter their own clothes

Construction Knitting
Knitwear Design With Geometric Shapes
Nikki Gabriel, Knitwear and textile designer, New Zealand
Construction Knitting uses clear visual aids to demonstrate modular exercises for practical and theoretical applications of hand, machine and digital knitting methods While the idea of using geometric shapes for knitting is not new, Nikki Gabriel's development of construction knitting is a system designed for the user to be codesigner, so the book provides the tools for the reader to engage and transform the design to fit their individual needs and preferences. Construction Knitting is a creative approach to garment construction and a useful visual reference guide for design students, professionals or hobby knitters

Textiles on Film
Becky Peterson, University of New Mexico, USA Scholars have given much attention to the connections between fashion and film but, until now, no study has comprehensively explored the relationship between fabric and film. This book fills this gap in the literature by looking at how textiles are used by filmmakers to create mood, communicate meaning and convey drama In case studies from Hitchcock classics and Hollywood blockbusters such as The Matrix to lesser-known arthouse films, Peterson reveals the social nuances of fabrics and unearths new possibilities for understanding cinema
