Architecture Theory and History Seminar
 GENERAL OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE: Architecture theory, history, criticism and design methodology are closely linked and constitute the conceptual elements that produce architecture. This course attempts to go beyond the study of architecture's history and theory, and to introduce the students to the analysis of both history and theory in order to develop critical and analytical skills that will enable them to understand the main architectural contributions of the twentieth-century. This course will introduce the student to ideological tools that he or she will apply in the analysis and evaluation of architecture in order to go beyond a formal or aesthetical assessment to reveal their underlying concepts. This course will also attempt to encourage the students to produce their own architecture concepts, theoretical foundations and methodologies in order to apply these in their design projects.

Islamic Art: Art, Architecture and the Literary World (Robert Irwin)
 Danny Yee's Book Reviews Subjects | Titles | Authors | Best Books | Search | Latest Islamic Art: Art, Architecture and the Literary World Robert Irwin Laurence King 1997 A book review by Danny Yee © 2004 http://dannyreviews.com/ Islamic Art is an illustrated history that takes a broad approach, covering architecture, crafts, and aesthetics as well as "art" in the narrow sense, and placing them within their social and historical context. It extends to around 1700, but does not cover the entire Islamic world, only the arid area from Morocco to Afghanistan. Irwin begins with Islam's inheritance from the Byzantines, the Sasanians, and pre-Islamic Arab culture; he touches on the Islamic sense of the past and aesthetic of ruins. This is followed by a rapid survey of the Islamic world and Islamic history. Mosques are central to Islamic architecture, but have by no means been static. "Minarets may now be seen as entirely characteristic of Muslim religious architecture, but the very first mosques had none." Patronage was critical, and rulers often reworked earlier buildings, making major monuments "architectural palimpsests". The ban on representations of humans is perhaps the best known aspect of Islamic art, but "it is all but certain that, in the context of the seventh century, the original Koranic proscription applied only to pagan idols and not to all and any forms of figurative representation by artists". The state regulated markets and crafts, and provided patronage, which took different forms under different dynasties. "Libraries seem to have become important centres for the sponsorship of the arts in the period after the Mongol invasions, under the Ilkhans and their successors in Iran. ... the source of inspiration for this institutional innovation may have come from the Chinese academies of history and painting" Irwin provides a historical survey of palace architecture and court life, through successive periods. "Many of the texts that decorate the Alhambra are placed at quite a low level. This should serve to remind us that the caliph and his courtiers customarily sat on cushions and rugs and that consequently the Alhambra's vistas are designed to be appreciated from a low point of view." Next he turns to social world of artisans, guilds, and architects. "It was once believed that the guild system in the Islamic world began in the ninth century. In fact, though craftsmen were often closely bound together by kinship, locality, and various forms of partnership, nothing one could call a guild as the term is understood in Western art history appears in the Middle East or North Africa until the fourteenth century at the earliest." This is followed by a survey of woodwork, metalwork, ceramics, lustreware, glass and glassmaking, crystal, jade and ivory, textiles and weaving, silk, and carpets and rugs, touching on the role of key centres such as Sultanabad and Iznik. "The history of Muslim art is above all the history of the applied arts.

Beijing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 A mixture of both old and new styles of architecture can be seen at the 798 Art Zone , which mixes 1950s-design with a blend of the new. The influence of American urban form and social values in manifest in the creation of Orange County, China , a suburban development about one hour north of the city. Culture A Beijing performance of the classic opera Farewell my Concubine (September 2002). People native to urban Beijing speak the Beijing dialect , which belongs to the Mandarin subdivision of spoken Chinese . Beijing dialect is the basis for Standard Mandarin , the language used in the People's Republic of China , the Republic of China on Taiwan , and Singapore . Rural areas of Beijing Municipality have their own dialects akin to those of Hebei province, which surrounds Beijing Municipality. Beijing Opera , or Peking Opera ( Jingju 京剧), is well-known throughout the national capital. Commonly lauded as one of the highest achievements of Chinese culture , Beijing Opera is performed through a combination of song, spoken dialogue, and codified action sequences, such as gestures, movement, fighting and acrobatics. Much of Beijing Opera is carried out in an archaic stage dialect quite different from modern Standard Mandarin and from the Beijing dialect ; this makes the dialogue somewhat hard to understand, and the problem is compounded if one is not familiar with Chinese. As a result, modern theaters often have electronic titles in Chinese and English.
