Paperback. Condition: New. Taking us back to the earliest days of cities-and the earliest days of human civilization-in Mesopotamia, Pedro Azara in Cornerstone offers a contemporary view on the rise and growth of early cities and urban culture. Investigating ruins and exploring archaeological sites, Azara helps us understand how the earliest cities looked and felt, what the first architects and their buildings were like, and what nascent aesthetic ideals they upheld. Azara's scholarship is rigorous and far-reaching, but his writing is agile, direct, and entertaining as he not only brings the far-distant past to life, but teases out its relevance for our understanding of contemporary culture as well. The result is a fascinating glimpse into our history and a fresh new take on the origins of the civilization of some of our most ancient ancestors. …

Paperback. Condition: New. For their 2019 Venice Biennale pavilion, Catalonia presented an exhibition exploring the life of public statues and reflecting on the capacity of artworks to possess agency. The project considers the often-intense relationship that forms between humans and statues, focusing on fifteen such works from around Catalonia. At times celebrated, vandalized, protected, or destroyed, figurative sculptures have a strange capacity to inspire intense emotions, to make one "lose their head." The collective artist book, To Lose Your Head (Idols), includes written and artistic reflections on the exhibition's theme, exploring the idea of artistic agency as it analyses the passions that are sparked when dealing with figurative sculpture. Pedro Azara, an architect, archaeologist, and professor of aesthetics, explores the perception of images as living entities. Looking at the deep reverence and radical iconoclastic urges inspired by works of public art, he considers how the Western artistic tradition might still be deeply animist. Six contemporary Catalan artists-David Bestué, Lúa Coderch, Lola Lasurt, Daniela Ortiz, Perejaume, and Francesc Torres-take on this question from the perspective of artistic practice, creating works and essays in response to Azara. The publication includes documentation of the exhibition and provides information on accompanying works by playwright Marcel Borràs, architect Tiziano Schu?rch, and filmmaker Albert García-Alzórriz, in collaboration with poet Gabriel Ventura. …

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Se conocen numerosas figuras sobrenaturales a quienes se ha atribuido la edificación del espacio o la transmisión de las técnicas constructivas a los humanos. En la cultura clásica, Atenea, patrona de Atenas, es quizás la más popular pero fue Foroneo el que ?reunió por primera vez en una comunidad a los habitantes? Asimismo, Asmodeo, descendiente de Adán (que no de Eva), trasmitió a los hombres las artes de la geometría o el álgebra. También la mitología egipcia relacionaba a Seshat, diosa de la escritura, con la creación, el diseño del universo que realizaba con un estilete. En este libro están presentes los principales héroes y dioses que en las culturas antiguas de Oriente y Occidente han desempeñado el papel de arquitecto. Todos fueron inventados para dar cuenta de acciones colosales, con tal impacto que resultaba difícil responsabilizar a un simple mortal de su diseño. Estos mitos reflejan la imagen que los humanos se hacían de quienes, bajo las órdenes del cielo o el infierno, repetían la creación del universo cuando fundaban templos, palacios y ciudades, una imagen que podría hallarse en el origen de la percepción contradictoria que el arquitecto y la arquitectura suscitan hoy. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
