The Auroville Architects Monograph Series documents the pioneering work of the architects whose vision shaped Auroville, a unique international township in southeastern India. This monograph, the second in the series, is a comprehensive record of the work of Piero and Gloria Cicionesi, whose architectural legacy translates Auroville's philosophy of community living into built form. In 1968, plunged upon arrival into designing buildings on a barren red plateau, their deep engagement with the philosophy of Auroville resulted in the construction of several communal living spaces, with a spatial sense that is simple, modern and timeless. The Matrimandir, the spiritual heart of Auroville, was built and executed by Piero. Completed in 1992, it shows his mathematical genius and his sense of perfection and material detailing, sharpened in the democratic, collective milieu of Auroville. Gloria's projects such as the residential and community living spaces she designed, display her concerns about the comfort and security of an ageing population, as well as her willingness to experiment with newer, more sustainable materials. This publication, with a Foreword by eminent architect BV Doshi, brings together essays, drawings and photographs to demonstrate the elegant legacy of Piero and Gloria Cicionesi, for whom architecture was not only a search for beauty but also had a deeper social aspiration. AUTHOR: Mona Doctor-Pingel has an independent practice in Auroville since 1995, where she designs and constructs buildings, interiors and landscapes, while aiming to find the right balance between Man - Nature - Economy. She is also the author of Poppo Pingel (Mapin, 2012), the first volume in the Auroville Architects Monograph Series. 130 colour and 126 b/w photographs; 27 colour and 111 b/w drawings

"This book examines and establishes the importance of one aspect of popular political arguments - rhetorical features that draw upon tradition as taken-for-granted values, judgments, and calculations. It illustrates how popular political arguments draw upon this "rhetoric of right," unique to each political community, to establish the "correctness" or "rightness" of a policy proposal. It then uses that illustration to argue first that tradition in political arguments is not only present, but important; second, that tradition operates through time in a contextual rather than evolutionary manner, and third, that political theorists must take seriously the presence of tradition in political arguments in both its substance and its formal aspects." "The book is based upon a study of political arguments in the Indian religious/political movement that grew up around the Indian mystic Aurobindo Ghose and his collaborator Mirra Richard."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Roger Anger written by Anupama Kundoo and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2009 with Architecture categories.
This book is the first comprehensive monograph to focus on the visionary French architect Roger Anger, recipient of the 1967 Belgian Premier Prix International d'Architecture. A sculptural plasticity and a highly individual take on the Modernist vernacular infuse all of his work; but Anger, who died in 2008, will be remembered for his ambitious master plan for the utopian Indian city of Auroville, based on the idea of a proliferating, open-ended galaxy, designed to be self-sufficient and promoted as the "dream of a new city for the future" and a haven from sectarianism and nationialism. A graduate of Paris's cole des Beaux-Arts, Anger arrived in India in 1956; within the space of a decade, he had risen to become Auroville's chief architect, and the essence of his work as an architect, painter and sculptor is reflected in that unique construction. The volume documents Anger's prolific and innovative projects of the 1950s and 1960s, which include more than 100 buildings, such as Grenoble's L'Ile Verte, three 28-storey housing towers, which were for some time the highest residential buildings in Europe.

Wooden Architecture Of Kerala written by Miki Desai and has been published by Mapin Publishing Pvt this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2018 with Building, Wooden categories.
This volume explores the socio-cultural and the tectonic aspects of Kerala's wooden architecture, which is deeply rooted in religious and secular customs and shaped by geo-climatic forces. The author's multi-disciplinary approach links the various ethnic groups residing in Kerala, and the mutual adoption and adaptation of construction systems within migrant groups. This volume attempts to fill the research gap concerning vernacular styles, a need made more urgent by the fact that the traditional ways of building may get replaced by the modern much faster than we can imagine. AUTHOR: Miki Desai is a recipient of the Fulbright Fellowship, 2000, and the Graham Grant, 2005. He is the author of Architekture in Gujurat, Indien: Nauernhof, Stadthaus, Palast, and the co-author of Architecture and Independence: The Search for Identity: India 1880 to 1980. He received the Earthwatch fellowship in 1996. He has taught and lectured at many universities in Europe and the USA. 211 photographs, 53 drawings, 95 plans, 2 maps
