LA+ Beauty: Tatum Hands, Richard J Weller LA+ Beauty
Tatum Hands, Richard J Weller
R384 Discovery Miles 3 840 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Drawing from diverse disciplines including philosophy, history, cultural criticism, visceral geography, urban studies, gender studies, and racial aesthetics, the 18th Issue of LA+ explores the elusive and enigmatic theme BEAUTY in relation to landscape architecture and the constructed environment. Rather than arrive at any one singular definition of beauty, within its pages, contributors challenge readers with alternative views through deep and critical reflection. What is a “beautiful” landscape today? Is there such a thing as “natural beauty”? Why do humans across the cultural spectrum concern themselves so much with the beautification of themselves, their objects, and their surroundings? Is beautification benevolent or nefarious? Is there value — economic or otherwise — in beauty, and whose interests do ideals of beauty serve? In the end, why does beauty matter at all? LA+ BEAUTY is guest-edited by Colin Curley, a New York-based landscape architect and architect whose work navigates the complex environmental and socio-political dimensions of disturbed, contaminated industrial landscapes, and seeks to expand the range of their aesthetic and experiential potential.

Beautiful China - Reflections on Landscape Architecture in Contemporary China (Chinese, English, Hardcover): Richard J Weller,... Beautiful China - Reflections on Landscape Architecture in Contemporary China (Chinese, English, Hardcover)
Richard J Weller, Tatum L Hands
R778 Discovery Miles 7 780 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Beautiful China is the title of the Chinese government's broad policy to ensure the traditions and aesthetics of Chinese culture not only survive as heritage but apply to contemporary society and to the future. Beautiful China is also nested within the larger policy concept of creating an 'ecological civilization'. Applied to a nation of over 1.3 billion people and the second most powerful economy in the world, these policies are arguably the most fascinating socio-political experiment taking place anywhere in the world today. This book is the first serious consideration of this policy and what it means for the design professions in contemporary China. Text in English and Chinese.
