Many more were planned throughout the cathedrals of France than were ultimately realized.\u0026nbsp; This is because they obviously were the last elements to be built and they would have required immense effort. It was correct that Violet le Duc replaced the spire to Notre Dame in 1844, after the original had been removed in 1756 for structural fatigue.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe hidden structure of the spire transfers load to the corners of the crossing. Violet le Duc became an expert on medieval timber construction before undertaking this project.\u0026nbsp; In the intervening years, much of his work has acquired an historical aura in its own right--especially the spire.\u0026nbsp; Luckily, the sixteen bronze statues had been removed at the time of the calamitous fire.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003EThe roof.\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026nbsp; The roof form is an important visual element in the silhouette of Notre Dame and therefore of the skyline of \u0026Icirc;le de la Cit\u0026eacute;.\u0026nbsp; Its authentic reconstruction is essential to a proper restoration.\u0026nbsp; One exception should be considered.\u0026nbsp; The hidden structure between the vaults and the roof was made of so much old growth timber it was referred to as \u0026ldquo;la for\u0026ecirc;t\u0026rdquo;, the forest.\u0026nbsp; Replacement of this amount of timber, even if possible, would represent an avoidable environmental loss.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWhat is the significance of the Notre-Dame Cathedral in relation to classic and modern architecture?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ENotre-Dame is considered one of the great examples of French Gothic Architecture. Construction of the cathedral began in 1160 and was largely complete by 1260.\u0026nbsp; First called the \u0026ldquo;French Style,\u0026rdquo; the Gothic style first appeared in the early 12th c. at the Basilica of Saint-Denise. The main characteristic of Gothic design is its emphasis on the vertical made possible by novel applications of the ribbed vault and the pointed arch, along with the innovation of the flying buttress.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe Gothic style would have lasting effects that altered future styles. Michael Dennis argues that the Renaissance and Baroque facades of France are distinct from Italy in recurring visual and spatial verticality.\u0026nbsp; Structural expressionism, a major strain in modernist theory and practice, had the Gothic and neo-Gothic precedent behind it.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFor example, Violet le Duc proposed novel uses of iron in design in the late 1800s. Violet le Duc was the architect in charge of the 19thcentury renovation of Notre Dame and the person responsible for restoring the fleche, or spire, that had been destroyed. He argued, against the neo-classical preference of the time, that the Gothic style was superior, especially in this context.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWhat is another example of a notable building\u0026rsquo;s collapse. How was it restored?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe Notre-Dame fire is reminiscent of another historic building calamity-the collapse of the St. Mark\u0026rsquo;s campanile in Venice.\u0026nbsp; The campanile was one of several prominent buildings\u0026mdash;the Dodges\u0026rsquo; Palace, the Sansovino library and the St. Mark Cathedral\u0026mdash;that together made up the main square of the city.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EA tower had stood on this location in Venice since the 14th century and took its final essential form in 1513.\u0026nbsp; After damage over the years, especially due to lighting strikes, the tower was outfitted with a lightning rod in the 18th century.\u0026nbsp; Nonetheless, in July of 1902, the tower collapsed completely. As in Paris, not a single human life was taken. That very evening, the decision was made to rebuild the tower exactly as it was before the collapse.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe Notre-Dame Cathedral is a monument onto itself, a supreme exemplar of a style of building which has come to signify both Paris and France.\u0026nbsp; Happily, it appears that both the will and the means exist to restore the cathedral in Paris.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe building is important in art history and in the popular imagination.

The ethical implications\u0026nbsp;when considering individuals with disabilities quickly move beyond beneficence, justice, and autonomy to specific concerns of privacy, safety, and informed choice. As we create disruptive, transformational technologies, it is critical that we pause to ensure we have employed an ethical framework throughout each phase of\u0026nbsp;development and deployment so we can design for true inclusion.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EShelden will talk about urban automation from the perspective of the built environment -- buildings, infrastructure and cities \u0026nbsp;\u0026ndash; which is increasingly becoming \u0026ldquo;smart,\u0026rdquo; as physical spaces and devices in these spaces are connected to simulations and data platforms on the cloud. This presents opportunities for improved understanding of the behaviors of built environments and the interactions of occupants in these environments.

I keep raising the question of how people will use their power, their unearned power, to weaken systems of unearned power. I think most white people have been trained to think of themselves as not having much power that they can use towards social change.

If there are many tables to sit at and many chairs, that can make it feel like a cafe or a conversation nook. This makes students mingle more freely with people who do not look like them. In fact, I have come to say to school faculty groups that I believe they must reengineer and reshape the school entrance hall to prevent depression! In addition, I strongly recommend that small classes be configured as a circles with everyone facing each other, rather than having some look at the backs of heads of others, in rows.

The DBL has performed data standard and information delivery (IDM \/ MVD) development for numerous trades over the past decade. A number of new technical developments promise renewed interest and value for this standardization work: extending the data standards to web-based information exchanges and developing overall industry frameworks for data exchange workflows.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EParticipants received an overview of existing work and discussed potential forward-looking applications of the data to future industry data initiatives. The workshop brought together representatives of the industry trade organizations with leaders of next generation data and exchange initiatives.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe second workshop examined AEC web data services technologies. Web- and internet-data and communications protocols are rapidly evolving as needs for data interoperability and exchange encounter new demands of technology paradigms, including web microservices, web ontology applications (OLWL), and the Internet of Things (IoT). The existing technical frameworks for AEC data exchange (IFC \/ EXPRESS) are being reconsidered in light of these developments. The workshop\u0026rsquo;s goal was to initiate a set of research and development tasks to develop out this next generation AEC data architecture.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ETo view more photos from the event, please visit the \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GT.DBL\/\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003EDBL Facebook page\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe Digital Building Lab (DBL) brought more than 50 people on campus for its annual Members\u0026#39;

Venice can be daunting. \u0026nbsp;Each year, an increasing horde of visitors, this year 27 million, descend upon a shrinking population of fewer than 55,000 residents, and it\u0026#39;s not easy to experience Venice as a real, living city, much less lose yourself in the melancholy labyrinths that mesmerized Jorge Luis Borges, Italo Calvino, Daphne du Maurier, Patricia Highsmith, Henry James, Thomas Mann, China Mieville, WG Sebald....\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003EInstead, you are more likely to encounter \u0026quot;Veniceland\u0026quot;. \u0026nbsp;Mercifully free of the pedicabs and segways that plague other heavily touristed cities, even so, it can be a struggle to make your way through the crowded, narrow streets. \u0026nbsp;Especially when every bridge over every little canal is clogged with selfie-takers.\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003EYou can minimize the aggravation by avoiding central areas in favor of quiet neighborhoods in the corners and at the edges. \u0026nbsp;And by taking your long walks after dinner, when the day-trippers are back on their buses and cruise ships, the streets empty out, and the city assumes the Scooby-Doo spookiness of an abandoned amusement park.\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003ELikewise, the Biennale itself can be formidable. \u0026nbsp;Intended to provide an overview of what may be considered most noteworthy in contemporary architecture around the world, the exposition is vast. \u0026nbsp;Exhibits fill two complexes, the Giardini and the Arsenale, each of which will usually take a full day to work your way through -- not to mention the many pop-ups and pavilions sprinkled throughout the city.\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003EHow to determine what warrants careful attention, what you can give a cursory review, and what you can

question or concern. \u0026nbsp;In 2010, Kazuyo Sejima asked participants to reflect upon how People meet in architecture. \u0026nbsp;In 2012, David Chipperfield sought Common Ground (and didn\u0026#39;t get much IMHO). \u0026nbsp;In 2014, Rem Koolhaas took a back-to-basics approach with Fundamentals, giving special attention to architectural elements.\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003EThis year, in REPORTING FROM THE FRONT, Alejandro Aravena foregrounded practices and projects that seek to \u0026quot;improve the quality of life while working on the margins, under tough circumstances, facing pressing challenges.\u0026quot; \u0026nbsp;In accordance with the humanitarian focus, \u0026quot;starchitects\u0026quot; are few and far between.\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003EInstead, Aravena invited participation from a large number of lesser-known practices, from all around the world, that he believed merit greater recognition. \u0026nbsp;Of the 88 invitees, 50 were exhibiting at the Biennale for the first time, and 33 of them were under the age of 40.\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003EThe momentary respite from the barrage of the usual suspects, continually promoted, already known, has prompted some critics to dismiss the exposition as \u0026quot;decaffeinated\u0026quot;. \u0026nbsp;A pretty snobbish assessment, you could say. \u0026nbsp;But one can justly concede that the decision to eschew architectural fireworks has resulted in a flatter overall feeling

series of conversations about contemporary practice than the usual fare. \u0026nbsp;And it did. \u0026nbsp;It seemed, however, that several of the invitees did not have sufficient experience exhibiting their work, or perhaps lacked the resources to do it properly. \u0026nbsp;The majority did not follow Aravena\u0026#39;s \u0026quot;problem-process-result\u0026quot; formula, ignoring the first two parts in favor of the latter. \u0026nbsp;As a result, the work often did not rise to the level of visibility, much less

swallowed up in the vast spaces (almost impossible to see in the deep gloom of the Arsenale\u0026#39;s main volume). \u0026nbsp;It wasn\u0026#39;t always clear where one exhibit stopped and the next one started. \u0026nbsp;Adjacencies often seemed arbitrary rather than enlightening. \u0026nbsp;And Aravena\u0026#39;s short introductory texts ranged between enigmatic and inscrutable.\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003EIn a smaller setting, one could rightly be expected to put into practice one\u0026#39;s faith in the curator, and to invest the time and energy in situ to figure it all out: \u0026nbsp;what a project or practice is about, why it was included, how it might relate to the others. \u0026nbsp;Here

photos of her projects. \u0026nbsp;Attractive in itself, the display seemed generic compared to her work, and not particularly informative. \u0026nbsp;Her singularly muscular and rigorous buildings

London-based Forensic Architects, an architectural research group who work on behalf of human rights groups, present fragments of four investigations: \u0026nbsp;\u0026quot;from the micro-analysis of a single ruin from a drone strike in Miranshah, Pakistan, to an urban analysis of the city of Rafah in Gaza under Israeli attack; the death of refugees and migrants in the Mediterranean Sea, to the

refuge in the architecture-for-architecture\u0026#39;s-sake open-air pavilion Aravena commissioned from the Chilean practice Pezo von Ellrichshausen. \u0026nbsp;This is a surprisingly mature work from such a young firm. \u0026nbsp;They know exactly what their formal, material, and spatial questions are, and how to address their hankering for solidity in what, by necessity, is a temporary

to the Venetian-red installation David Chipperfield commissioned from Alvaro Siza in 2012, located behind the Arsenale, in the midst of the garden that Kazuyo Sejima commissioned from Piet Oudolf in 2010. \u0026nbsp;(Both are still there, and must be visited.)\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003EMeanwhile, in the cavernous Arsenale, a former

These drawings require not only a skilled representation of the external world, but also an ability to translate complex internal, and often competing, ideas onto paper. \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe new Connell Workshop explores a wide range of these issues in hand drawing - tone, line, contour, gesture, composition, iterative geometry, and the humanistic forces that shape them. The School of Architecture is amongst the leading U.S. institutions in this way of critical thinking. \u0026nbsp;Whether it was charcoal on the walls of pre-historic cave paintings, graphite and ink on vellum through the 20th century, or electronic technology of the 21st century, these media are the basic tools by which we come to understand architectural design. In addition to the issues explored, no small benefit of drawing by hand is the slow, tactile, thought process required - focused thinking.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis new workshop is made possible by a generous gift from a former Georgia Tech professor and alumnus, Arnall T. \u0026ldquo;Pat\u0026rdquo; Connell. \u0026nbsp;Professor Connell came to Georgia Tech in the late 60\u0026rsquo;s from Ohio State University, Columbia University and the University of Virginia. In the early 70\u0026rsquo;s Pat became a pioneering champion of historic preservation in the Atlanta area. He organized a small group of forward thinking politicians, civic leaders and celebrities to found the \u0026ldquo;Save the Fox\u0026rdquo; movement, resulting in Atlanta\u0026rsquo;s beloved Fox Theatre being saved from the wrecking ball. \u0026nbsp;He and his late wife Martha, co-founded the Great American Gallery, Atlanta\u0026rsquo;s unique contribution to contemporary crafts and fine arts objects. Many of the works that they curated now reside in leading museums and private collections around the U.S.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EPat\u0026rsquo;s great legacy at Georgia Tech is his unwavering belief in the value of personal, hand crafted expression in the act of drawing. His support has allowed Lane Duncan to carry on critical investigations in both perception and conception - the way we see the world and the way we attempt to order the world. This work includes life drawing, examination of the work of Renaissance artists such as Raphael and Michelangelo, studies in Euclidean, projective, and Islamic metaphorical geometries and \u0026ldquo;idea capture\u0026rdquo; design sketching. \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMr. Duncan describes Professor Connell as, \u0026ldquo;A true scholar who believes that hand drawing is a vital \u0026lsquo;technology\u0026rsquo; to seeing and understanding the world around us and that it is an essential tool for the architect no matter what generation.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cblockquote\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003EDrawing requires that all the sensory apparatus of the body participate in the process of creating an image of the observed or imagined stimulus. Unlike the camera, which records only a split-second view of the object, the act of drawing is not time-dependent. The act of image-making informs and instructs the brain to keep looking for all the messages being sent. The image-maker always decides when to make changes and when the work is \u0026lsquo;finished.\u0026rsquo; The Gestalt is there for the taking by anyone. \u0026ndash; Pat Connell, 2016\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":[{"value":"The Art of Drawing"}],"field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"The new Art of Drawing workshop explores a wide range of these issues in hand drawing - tone, line, contour, gesture, composition, iterative geometry, and the humanistic forces that shape them."}],"uid":"28816","created_gmt":"2016-10-26 17:42:53","changed_gmt":"2016-11-07 20:30:58","author":"Tia Jewell","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2016-11-07T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2016-11-07T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"583167":{"id":"583167","type":"image","title":"The Connell Workshop 2016","body":null,"created":"1477504451","gmt_created":"2016-10-26 17:54:11","changed":"1477504900","gmt_changed":"2016-10-26 18:01:40","alt":"","file":{"fid":"222301","name":"Pat Connell Workshop 2016.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Pat%20Connell%20Workshop%202016.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Pat%20Connell%20Workshop%202016.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":3151282,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/Pat%20Connell%20Workshop%202016.jpg?itok=UYndNgWV"}},"583168":{"id":"583168","type":"image","title":"Lane Duncan \u0026 Pat Connell 2016","body":null,"created":"1477504683","gmt_created":"2016-10-26 17:58:03","changed":"1477504683","gmt_changed":"2016-10-26 17:58:03","alt":"","file":{"fid":"222302","name":"Lane Duncan \u0026 Pat Connell 2016.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Lane%20Duncan%20%26%20Pat%20Connell%202016.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Lane%20Duncan%20%26%20Pat%20Connell%202016.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":46298,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/Lane%20Duncan%20%26%20Pat%20Connell%202016.jpg?itok=430Pg0XS"}},"583170":{"id":"583170","type":"image","title":"The Connell Workshop 2016 - Pic 2","body":null,"created":"1477505320","gmt_created":"2016-10-26 18:08:40","changed":"1477505320","gmt_changed":"2016-10-26 18:08:40","alt":"","file":{"fid":"222304","name":"The Connell Workshop 2016 - Pic 2.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/The%20Connell%20Workshop%202016%20-%20Pic%202_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/The%20Connell%20Workshop%202016%20-%20Pic%202_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":5245971,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/The%20Connell%20Workshop%202016%20-%20Pic%202_0.jpg?itok=q_nsrGpn"}}},"media_ids":["583167","583168","583170"],"groups":[{"id":"48996","name":"School of Architecture"},{"id":"1221","name":"College of Design"}],"categories":[{"id":"129","name":"Institute and Campus"},{"id":"42911","name":"Education"},{"id":"42951","name":"Student Art"},{"id":"137","name":"Architecture"}],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ETia Jewell\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nCommunications \u0026amp; Events\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nSchool of Architecture\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nCollege of Design\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nGeorgia Institute of Technology\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\ntia.jewell@design.gatech.edu\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"582895":{"#nid":"582895","#data":{"type":"news","title":"School of Architecture Students Win the 2016 Barbara G.

A veritable torrent of books, conferences, exhibitions, films, commemorations attest to his rising status as XXth century\u2019s most influential European cultural critic. Almost every area of the humanities, from history to philosophy, film and media studies, literary criticism, politics, and art, has felt the impact of Benjamin\u2019s work. Within this farflung zone of influence, architecture occupies a special place, as the subject of what some consider to be Benjamin\u2019s most important project, the Passagen-Werk, and the source of seminal reflections on the metropolitan experience, wish images, tactility, the aesthetics of shock, and the aestheticisation of politics -- to mention only some notions familiar to architectural scholars. For more than a generation now, Benjamin\u2019s ideas have spread through architectural studies, opening up many new areas of research; yet despite its impact, Benjamin\u2019s thinking on architecture has rarely been made the object of focussed or systematic study. As a result, the precise nature of his influence, the import of his ideas, and the questions of interpretation they pose for architectural scholars today remain largely unexamined.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOne reason for this neglect is practical : Benjamin\u2019s reflections on architecture are scattered across of large body of writing, often buried in discussions of apparently remote subjects. Furthermore, as any reader can attest, his writings do not lend themselves to easy summary, tending rather to generate different and at times even strongly divergent interpretations (depending on whether one wishes to emphasize, for instance, Benjamin\u2019s role as a Marxist historian, or Frankfurt school philosopher, or Jewish mystic). To this, one must add the hagiographic approach of many of his devotees, which -- ironically for someone who welcomed the decline of aura -- does not generally encourage open and rational debate. This book is one effort to rescue Benjamin from the fate that so often befalls \u2018difficult\u2019 writers : to be often quoted but rarely read. Its goal is to consider critically Benjamin\u2019s thinking from a point of view that is already in some part shaped by his work, to assess its effect on the history, theory, and practice of architecture, and consider its relevance today.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003ESpielraum : Benjamin and Architecture\u003C\/em\u003E originated with a symposium organized in Paris in late 2007 under the title \u003Cem\u003EArchitecture and the Technological Unconscious\u003C\/em\u003E. Sponsored jointly by the College of Architecture of the Georgia Institute of Technology and the Ecole Nationale Superieure d\u2019Architecture de Paris La Villette, the conference brought together scholars from a variety of countries and disciplines to consider Benjamin\u2019s writings from a historical, philosophical, and theoretical perspective. One of the goals of the meeting was to revisit notions that have played such an important role in recent years : among them the decline of aura, mechanical reproducibility, and the esthetics of shock. At the same time, as indicated in the conference\u2019s title, the aim was to consider these issues from the standpoint of Benjamin\u2019s larger concern for the new forms of experience generated through architecture and technology \u2013 particularly the new perceptual realms opened up by the press, photography, radio, cinema, up to and including the recent revolution brought on by digital media.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis volume presents, in a slightly different order that nevertheless respects the main sequence of themes, papers delivered at this event, including some commissioned after. The contributors make no claim to address all the questions Benjamin\u2019s work raises for scholars, practitioners, and educators in the architectural field. Their goal is rather to open up Benjamin\u2019s thinking to rigorous reflection, analysis and criticism, to highlight the centrality of architecture in his thought and to evaluate its influence on a field that has been profoundly shaped by his work. As Jean Paul Doll\u00e9 makes clear in his foreword, Benjamin\u2019s thinking is structured around a whole series of antinomies that remain, today, less than ever resolved. Central among them is the question of the ownership and control of the great power unleashed by technology, of the alienations it inflicts on the human sensorium, as well as the new possibilities it opens for expanded and more democratic forms of participation. Today, after more than half a century of accelerated change that has increased immeasurably technology\u2019s power to control human hearts and minds, the same questions \u2013 reformulated in terms appropriate to the present \u2013 are as urgent as ever. At a time when, as Hal Foster notes in his afterword, architecture\u2019s relentless integration into an increasingly global and centralized economy has resulted in the new market-driven phenomena of branding and celebrity architecture, Benjamin\u2019s reflections are one necessary starting point for any theory of architecture that aspires to a degree of social and political relevance.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ELavishly illustrated book focuses on Walter Benjamin\u0027s contribution to architectural thinking.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"27213","created_gmt":"2012-01-24 13:54:58","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:10:57","author":"Teri Nagel","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2012-01-24T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2012-01-24T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"85911":{"id":"85911","type":"image","title":"Spielraum : W.
