CONTEMPORARY GREEN BUILDINGS IN CHINA

W Myślącej dłoni Pallasmaa wraca do kwestii, które poruszał we wcześniejszych Oczach skóry, czyli związku zmysłów wzroku i dotyku oraz ich udziału w ludzkim doświadczeniu przestrzeni i jej zamieszkiwaniu. Nie chodzi już jednak o same zmysły i doświadczenie, ale o „ucieleśnioną mądrość” architektury w tym doświadczeniu osadzoną. Słowo „mądrość” użyte tutaj w miejsce „(ucieleśnionej) wiedzy” czy „poznania”, przyjętych w naukach takich jak psychologia czy antropologia, z jednej strony odbiera sformułowaniu jego techniczny, naukowy charakter, a wraz z nim wymaganą w nauce precyzję i jednoznaczność, z drugiej sugeruje metafizyczny podtekst rozważań Pallasmy.

he book begins by surveying the counter culture of the 1960s, when Jane Jacobs and Robert Venturi called for a more complex urbanism and architecture. It concludes by showing how such demands began to be realized by the 1990s in a new architecture that is aided by computer design--more convivial, sensuous, and articulate than the Modern architecture it challenges. Promoted by such architects as Frank Gehry, Daniel Libeskind, and Peter Eisenman, it has also been adopted by many schools and offices around the world. Charles Jencks traces the history of computer design which is, at its heart, built on the desire for an architecture that communicates with its users, one based on the heterogeneity of cities and global culture.

Intricately designed and beautifully illustrated, often in the art nouveau style popular at the time, four-color, full-page magazine advertisements were welcome respites from the bland, text-filled pages among which they appeared. Sales pitches were earnest and friendly; beer, for example, was billed as "The Evening Glass of Cheer" and toothpaste was described as "Delicious Ribbon Dental Cream"—perhaps not the catchiest slogans, but they were on to something.

Modern stage environments require increasingly more effort in terms of architecture and technology. For example LED screens of all shapes and sizes are becoming more important than ever, especially in the field of concert or television productions. Those two fields as well as musical, concert, opera and theater productions are documented in this volume photographed by Ralph Larmann.
