Architecture and Affect - Precarious Spaces (Hardcover): Lilian Chee Architecture and Affect - Precarious Spaces (Hardcover)
Lilian Chee
R3,841 Discovery Miles 38 410 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book is motivated by two questions: Why do dismissed affective evidence persist as troubling experience or imaginaries? What would it mean for architecture to assemble such discrepant evidence into its discourse? Arguing that the persistent refrains of lived affect dwell in architecture, this book traces such refrains to a concept of architecture wedged in the middle ground-jammed amidst life, things and events. Rather than being apart from its surrounds, architecture-in-the-midst challenges an autonomous epistemology. Beyond accounting for the vivid but excluded, this book develops a frame and a disposition for thinking critically about, speculatively through, and being grounded by, encounter. Examining affect through a constellation of spaces in contemporary Singapore, it details architecture's uneasy but inextricable relationship with key subjects relegated to the incommensurate, the peripheral, the scenic and the decorative. The outcome is a politicised architectural discourse simultaneously grounded and speculative: bridging depth and intuition, thinking and feeling.

Asian Cinema and the Use of Space - Interdisciplinary Perspectives (Hardcover): Lilian Chee, Edna Lim Asian Cinema and the Use of Space - Interdisciplinary Perspectives (Hardcover)
Lilian Chee, Edna Lim
R4,595 Discovery Miles 45 950 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Asian cinemas are connected to global networks and participate in producing international film history while at the same time influenced and engaged by spatial, cultural, social and political transformations. This interdisciplinary study forwards a productive pairing of Asian cinemas and space, where space is used as a discursive tool to understand cinemas of Asia. Concentrating on the performative potential of cinematic space in Asian films, the contributors discuss how space (re)constructs forms of identities and meanings across a range of cinematic practices. Cities, landscapes, buildings and interiors actively shape cinematic performances of such identities and their significances. The essays are structured around the spatial themes of ephemeral, imagined and contested spaces. They deal with struggles for identity, belonging, autonomy and mobility within different national and transnational contexts across East, Southeast and parts of South Asia in particular, which are complicated by micropolitics and subcultures, and by the interventions and interests of global lobbies.

Remote Practices - Architecture at a Distance (Hardcover): Matthew Mindrup, Lilian Chee Remote Practices - Architecture at a Distance (Hardcover)
Matthew Mindrup, Lilian Chee
R1,535 Discovery Miles 15 350 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

As advancements in transportation and technology continue to close the gap between architect, client, builder and site, critique and place, this book considers how architects, designers, theorists, and critics design, describe and critique future and past constructions in absentia. This book engages with remote practice, providing students, academics and professionals with the understanding and tools they need to rethink the role of the distant and disconnected in making, thinking and writing architecture - a skill which is becoming increasingly important in contemporary education and practice. Bringing together a collection of 16 essays and creative works from a diverse and respected group of scholars and designers, this book reflects upon the challenges and opportunities which remote practices occasion in architecture. Part One: Practice and Pedagogy investigates how a range of technological and economic advancements continue to redefine notions of connectedness in the practice of architecture at a distance and explores what it means to teach and study architecture at a distance from peer and place. Part Two: Critique and Performativity consists of a wide range of questions that unpack notions about situatedness, subjectivity, the body in space, and what occurs when disparate things are suddenly made proximate. The essays and creative works enable thematic as well as historically and culturally contextual understanding of the topic, highlighting important connections and changes across time.
