[ePub] Nudes on Location: Posing and Lighting for Photographers by Bill Lemon at Arts-Photography

Description

Money plays a paradoxical role in the creation of architecture. Formless itself; money is a fundamental form giver. At all scales; and across the ages; architecture is a product of the financial environment in which it is conceived; for better or worse. Yet despite its ubiquity; money is often disregarded as a factor in conceptual design and is persistently avoided by architectural academia as a serious field of inquiry. It is time to break these habits. In the contemporary world; in which economies are increasingly connected; architects must creatively harness the financial logics behind architecture in order to contribute meaningfully to the development of the built environment.This issue of Perspecta -- the oldest and most distinguished student-edited architectural journal in America -- examines the ways in which money intersects with architectural discourse; design practice; and urban form; in order to encourage a productive relationship between money and the discipline. Contributions from a diverse group of scholars; practitioners; and artists create a dialogue about moneys ambiguous position in architecture; reflecting on topics that range from the aesthetics of austerity to the underwriting of large-scale art projects to the economic implications of building information modeling.Contributors AOC; JT Bachman; Phil Bernstein; Mario Carpo; Christo; Peggy Deamer; Keller Easterling; Peter Eisenman; Mark Foster Gage; Frank Gehry; Thomas Gluck; Kevin D.
