Spatial Architecture (2 results)

Softcover. Condition: gut. 2007. Antoni Gaudi gilt für Laien als Schöpfer märchenhafter Architektur, die nicht nur in ihrer Vollendung fasziniert, sondern, wie sein wohl bekanntestes Werk - die Kirche Sagrada Familia in Barcelona - auch als Fragment jährlich zahllose Besucher anzieht. Doch hinter allem architektonischen Zauber dieses Bauwerks steckt eine klare geometrische Systematik, Ausdruck einer überzeugenden technischen Modernität von Gaudis Bauten. Der Australier Mark Burry hat die über 100 Jahre alten Entwurfsideen Gaudís in dreidimensionale Datensätze übertragen. Sie bilden heute die Arbeitsgrundlage für den Weiterbau der Sagrada Familia. Dieses Buch blickt hinter die Kulissen von Gaudis konstruktivem Genius und stellt eines der außergewöhnlichsten Bauprojekte der Gegenwart vor.

First edition, first printing, of this reference work designed to meet the needs of workplace managers, party cadres, and others officials tasked with creating modern spaces befitting a socialist society. Of particular interest are the many guidelines for creating backdrops to political meetings and rallies. Combining text and image, the contents also covers ideal space layouts, free-standing features such as arches and billboards, platforms and daises, slogan and sign design, and visitor pathways through exhibitions. The compilers, Wang Qiang, Shen Fan, and Fang Sheng, stress the political benefits of careful interior design: "if one can appropriately design a space, hang some red cloth, and display some slogans, one can work wonders for the political atmosphere of a meeting and expand the impact of propadanda" (p. 1).
