Few artists have had such a rapid fall from superstar status to whipping boy as Carl Bloch (1834–90). After his death, he was written out of art history and his pictures placed in storage. But outside the museums, Bloch’s virtuoso technique and seductive narratives continued to win new followers.Carl Bloch – Seduced offers new perspectives on how Bloch has continued to attract a wide audience by speaking directly to the great human emotions. What shaped the phenomenon that is Carl Bloch and how do we perceive him today? In this book, scholars and contemporary audiences reassess Carl Bloch’s complex life’s work, right from his religious images, comic genre scenes and edifying fateful tales to his Rembrandt-inspired etchings and superb portraits of the women of modern life.

The question of what heritage is and how we deal with it is not a neutral one. Recent events such as the Black Lives Matter movement and the toppling of monuments have made evident how much the colonial past is inscribed in our built environment; at the same time, colonialism affects memorialization and historiography. Hence, those involved in architectural history are challenged to re-consider their positionality. Whose heritage are colonial sites? Which conflicting memories are attached to them? How are archives and material evidence reassessed to bring forward the stories of marginalized subjects? Following the call for decolonization, this volume explores historical methodologies and shows the entanglement of narratives at architectural sites, bringing together archaeology, architectural history, and heritage studies. A contribution to the current debate on decolonization and memorialization Interdisciplinary perspectives on architecture and heritage International range of authors

India has a rich history worthy of preservation. The number of temples, mosques, tombs, ancient city ruins, palaces and other monuments, is staggering in India. Even today, archeologists are finding ruins of great monuments in remote and not so remote locations. Sadly, various factors such as development, erosion etc. have caused and are causing damage to our ancient heritage. Unplanned expansions of cities, building of new roads and shopping malls and residential areas, unrestricted tourism, all often end up eroding what is left of our archeological heritage.In this book we introduce to the reader some concepts related to preservation of ancient buildings and monuments. We discuss about the archeological survey of India, its history and objectives. We introduce world agreements such as the Venice Charter and Burra charter that relate to the principles for preservation of heritage. Then we go through some of the actual preservation and restoration techniques, showing their application in preserving and restoring some famous monuments and not so famous monuments.It is hoped that this book will provide the interested reader with useful information about the concepts and techniques of preservation.

For those who have a great desire to learn how to make their home comfortable and aesthetically appealing, so that they always want to return there."The modern world of achievements and propaganda of total busyness robs many people of their inner right to have time for themselves, time to recharge.A favorite cup, a cozy chair, a family dinner from grandma's dinnerware set and in the evening - dim light, candles, quiet music and sweet goodnight kisses from our children make us stop for a moment, feel happy and be filled with inspiration for a new day.A house without its charisma is like a typical state institution, it is cold and inexpressive. I wish there were fewer such interiors and more happy women."

Form und Widerstand bilden die Essenz aller architektonischer Arbeit. Besonders offensichtlich lässt sich das Wechselspiel von Wirkung und Machart an Fassaden ablesen. Sie orchestrieren den Übergang zwischen Innen und Aussen, sie zeitigen die zugrundeliegende Haltung, wie sich Bauwerke zur Umgebung verhalten. In ihrer Artikulation von Technik und Ästhetik, Tragen und Lasten, Proportion und Zweckmässigkeit sowie Rhythmik und Materialität sind sie zugleich Spiegel wechselnder Produktionsverfahren und gesellschaftlicher Wertesysteme.Architekt Lando Rossmaier untersuchte mit Studierenden der Hochschule Luzern die Bandbreite architektonischer Konstruktions- und Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten von Schweizer Stadthausfassaden. Mit der vorliegenden Anthologie stellt er eine Auswahl von rund 80 Bauten des 20. Jahrhunderts zur Verfügung, die in ihrer Tektonik feinfühlig gearbeitet wurden und dem urbanen Lebensgefühl seit Jahrzehnten Hintergrund sind. Handbuchartig wird jeweils die Wirkung mittels eines fotografischen Porträts und die konstruktive Machart anhand einer detaillierten tektonischen Isometrie veranschaulicht. Ergänzend kommen zehn Projekte von zeitgenössischen Schweizer Architekturschaffenden mit Essays zu ihrem tektonischen Verständnis hinzu.

There is a long tradition of using wood as a distinct and ecologically sound building material. Wooden architecture conveys for today's world the breadth of knowledge held in Western and Eastern cultures about the creative use of this unique material. The typical technique of building with wood, joinery, requires that elements are connected only by the skillful interlocking of the constructive parts. In this book, the history of wooden architecture is described in detail using hundreds of examples from Japan, China and Europe. From a holistic understanding, a picture emerges that is informative for architects, and designers, reopens an almost lost world to builders, and will enthrall laypeople. Also available in a German edition (ISBN 978-3-0356-2479-3)

This history of the Art Association of Harrisburg is both a factual accounting of the story of the region's most venerable fine arts organization and also an often-amusing romp through the personal reminiscences of author Carrie Wissler-Thomas. The Art Association was founded by cultured civic leaders who were passionate about the visual arts, and it has continued to survive and prosper throughout eight decades due to the dedication and support of both artists and committed patrons. The history of The Art Association in many ways mirrors the history of Harrisburg, reflecting the vicissitudes of the City's economy and development, the Renaissance of the 1980s and '90s, the construction of the Hilton and other prominent downtown buildings, the re-development of Reservoir Park, and the emergence of Restaurant Row. The Art Association was founded during the heyday of The City Beautiful Movement, and like The Harrisburg Symphony and Theatre Harrisburg, the organization continues to provide cultural enjoyment and opportunities for art-lovers and practitioners of all ilks."As the Paint Dries" is a phrase coined by the author's husband Scott Thomas as the humorous title of the on-going AAH daily soap-opera. The Art Association of Harrisburg is a family, a reality show, a visual feast, and a very human comedy. The AAH story is a rich tapestry, filled with serious episodes, punctuated by incredible-but-true anecdotes. Most of all, the AAH story is the story of the people who have made it what it is today, and who continue to guide it into the future.

The applied research project from University of Arts and Design, Karlsruhe, and resulting publication, The Archive as a Productive Space of Conflict examines archival practice and its spatial repercussions in an open conversation among over 80 artists, architects, writers, theorists, educators, designers and others. What are the spaces involved in making archives productive? Conventional archives tend to define themselves through content-specific accumulation of matter, subscribing to an existing order. The structure of archives has not evolved in response to its cumulative model. A productive archive would offer an open framework which actively transforms itself, thus allowing for the constant production of new and surprising relationships and new perspectives on archival practice. Contributions by Stuart Bailey, Bless, Beatriz Colomina, Cline Condorelli, Armin Linke, Dexter Sinister, Nav Haq, Nikolaus Hirsch, Christoph Keller, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Walid Raad and Alice Rawsthorn.

Natasza Niedziólkas faszinierende Werke bewegen sich an der Schnittstelle von Malerei, Zeichnung und Textilkunst. Die Leinwand bildet den Träger für ihre abstrakten, haptischen Stickereien. In repetitiver Manier bringt die polnische, in Berlin lebende, Künstlerin über das Material und seine Verwendung eine Leichtigkeit und einen meditativen Gestus in ihre formal kraftvollen und sinnlichen Arbeiten, die an Marcia Hafif oder Agnes Martin denken lassen.Der Katalog versammelt vier Werkgruppen, die in den letzten Jahren entstanden und deren eindrückliche Detailaufnahmen Niedziólkas Arbeitsprozess sichtbar und eine Ästhetik erfahrbar machen, die ihre Werke auszeichnen. Natasza Niedziólka sieht die Bearbeitung ihrer Bildflächen als produktiv herausfordernde Tätigkeit, der die Zeit des Arbeitens als erinnerte, im Werk konservierte Zeit eingeschrieben ist. Das Sticken präsentiert sich als ereignishafter Prozess, und auch das Textile wird nicht als Objekt, sondern als Ereignis verstanden, das sich im sehenden Betrachten immer wieder aufs Neue aktiviert.
