🏛️ Expand your architectural vocabulary with today's word: Choragic Monument 🏛️ Delve into its historical roots and its influence on contemporary constructions. Is there a choragic monument in your state capitol?

If, like me, you've sometimes felt yourself to be embarrassingly dim-witted (especially in obscure after-dinner talk with architects, and the like) because you've struggled with the connections and disconnections between the built reality of Ticino late-modernism from the 1960s to 1980s and the theoretical "tendenza" constructions that were simultaneously woven around it, help is here. In this wonderful book, Irina Davidovici steers a way through the confusions, admirably decoding, demystifying and re-analysing the complicated ins and outs of the "debate", including the latent and blatant paradoxes, and importantly adding another missing layer herself. Quite apart from the privilege of being able to read Davidovici's MS from beginning to end and work with her on the text, the book leaves me, for one, far more enlightened … as well as feeling intellectually less self-inferior and better equipped to fight with other future dinner guests! In short: I thoroughly recommend taking the time to read this, should the urge take you. https://lnkd.in/dmwMd2kw

ART-CHITECTURE The Extensible Spatial Metaphor EYECANDIES @eyecandiescn × Kui Yuan Gallery @kuiyuangallery , Shanghai, China 16 Dec 2023 - 14 Jan 2024 Revisiting the expressive potential and interpretative possibilities of architectural thinking, as a system with the capability of directing artistic and intellectual practices, it may extend beyond the material construction in a traditional sense and could explore broader multimedia realms to establish direct connections between notions and reality, also between visual representations and narratives of conceptual thinking, thereby directly generating expressions. This allows for the ideologies derived from it to react dynamically, rather than merely as a priori theoretical self-consistency, and may even potentially be stimulated and amplified by the creative thinking outputs themselves. Thus, the imaginative capacity of artistic expression metaphorically signifies the content of imagination, and such transference or interpretation need not point to external materiality but shifts the focus to internal imagination only through the experiences gained from external practices. #JXYStudio #culture #art #architecture #exhibition https://lnkd.in/g26RCvab
