Bombay Art Deco Architecture

by Navin Ramani, release date 2007, Bombay Art Deco Architecture Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Bombay Art Deco Architecture books, -A photographic study of one of Bombay's most interesting districts -A useful visual reference for any architecture student interested in Art Deco, twentieth century style shifts, or the Indian subcontinent Bombay Art Deco Architecture presents a treasury of Art Deco buildings comprising residential, commercial and civic architecture. These monuments were created during the mid '30s and '40s, a glamorous and optimistic era that predated the official end of the British Raj. The architects, a small list of first-generation Indian architects and builders, were mostly educated in English schools and trained in western architectural traditions. Impatient with the British reluctance to shed the Gothic and Indo-Saracenic architectural styles that had dominated Imperial Bombay's urban landscape, these visionaries were determined to imbue the city with a new modern style. That style shares its provenance with the Art Deco architecture of Miami Beach, termed 'Tropical Deco' by author Laura Cerwinske in her seminal 1981 book. Built in the same era, the Art Deco architecture of the two cities exhibits similar scale, geometry, tropical vocabulary, and love of romance.

Decomania

by Divya Pai, release date 2020, Decomania Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Decomania books, Born in Mumbai, earlier known as Bombay, and studying in Chicago since 2018 made me connect to both the cities because of their close resemblance to art and architectural cultures. This thesis is a qualitative study of the architectural style known as Art Deco that occurred between the years 1920 and 1940. During this period, both Chicago and Bombay were developing their art deco architecture, but in very different ways. Art Deco evolved in Westernized societies, such as Chicago, where the influences of major institutions such as the Chicago School and Modernism were monumental. However, my interests lie within the translation of art deco from a Western environment to an Eastern, colonial influenced environment; where do the ‘gaps’ arise when importing a style such as art deco. By doing this thesis I hope to find similarities and differences in the development of Art Deco style from both the sites. My thesis will be completed in two parts. The first being a historical analysis, including economic, historical, and political developments within Chicago and Bombay between 1920 and 1940. The second part of my thesis will revolve around four case studies, two from each city. These will include analyses of architectural developments, material, technology, and the density of that area. I am narrowing my scope to interpret two case studies from each city, which will be analyzed based upon the above parameters. Specifically, my case study models from Chicago will be the Chicago Board of Trade Building (on Jackson Boulevard in Chicago, 1930) and the Lake Theatre (on the Lake Street Oak Park, 1936); while the examples from Mumbai will be the New India Assurance Building (on Ballard Estate, 1936) and the Metro Cinema (on Mahatma Gandhi Road in Marine Drive, 1938). This study also intends to understand and bridge the blind spots in protecting Art Deco buildings in both the cities by using improvised Historic Preservation laws as its tool to do so.

Art D Co

by Norbert Wolf, release date 2013, Art D Co Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Art D Co books, Was haben das Chrysler Building in New York, die sachlichkühlen Porträts von Tamara de Lempicka, die Tiller Girls und eine Tischleuchte von Wilhelm Wagenfeld gemeinsam? Den Stil: in allen Fällen allerschönster Art déco. Kaum eine andere Stilrichtung hat das Bild ihrer Epoche so umfassend geprägt wie der Art déco, dem es gelang, verschiedenste Einflüsse – die kubistischen Stillleben Picassos, die reinen Farben der Fauves, die ornamentalen Verzierungen des Jugendstils – miteinander zu verschmelzen. Ausgehend von Paris setzte sich die Formensprache des Art déco ab Mitte der 1920er Jahre weltweit durch und ergriff alle Bereiche von Kunst und Kultur: von Architektur und Innenraumgestaltung über Skulptur und Mode bis zu Grafik- und Produktdesign. Der vorliegende, ganz im Stil des Art déco gestaltete und hochwertig ausgestattete Band widmet sich der Frage nach dessen kunstgeschichtlichen und kulturpolitischen Voraussetzungen, beleuchtet die sich parallel entwickelnden Stile und Theorien und ordnet sie in den Zusammenhang der Kunst des 20. Jahrhunderts ein.

Radical City

by Pithamber R. Polsani, release date 2020-12-14, Radical City Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Radical City books, In the next few decades a billion people will be urbanised. There will be over 40 megacities—more than 10 million inhabitants—most of which will be located in the ′global south′, especially China and India. Cities already stretched to the seams will explode. The accelerated global warming and extreme weather events will only make the situation worse resulting in unimaginable consequences. Radical City: Imagining Possibilities for the Indian City argues that we should urgently reflect on the question raised by the luminaries of Congrès Internationaux d′Architecture Moderne (CIAM) nearly a century back, ′Should our cities survive?′, because the Functional City—a conglomeration with differentiated zones of activity and transportation of people and materials between the zones—invented by CIAM has outlived its usefulness. Rethinking the city, therefore, cannot be the province of planners and technocrats alone. Instead, this book brings together artists, architects, writers, poets, designers, urban planners, social scientists, humanists and others to think about the city and its possibilities.

Art And Economics In The City

by Caterina Benincasa, release date 2019-06-30, Art And Economics In The City Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Art And Economics In The City books, Emerging forms of alternative economic frameworks are changing the structure of society, redefining the relationship between centre and periphery, and the social dynamics in the urban fabric. In this context, the arts can play a crucial role in formulating a concept of complex and plural citizenship: This economic, social and cultural paradigm has the potential to overcome the conventional isolation of the arts and culture in ivory towers, and thereby to gradually make the urban fabric more fertile. This volume faces such sensitive issues by collating contributions from various disciplines: Economists, sociologists, urbanists, architects and creative artists offer a broad and deep assessment of urban dynamics and their visions for the years to come.
