A celebration of renowned sculptor and educator Kent Bloomer's
work, examining the role of ornament in contemporary architecture
and society Best known for New York's Central Park luminaires
(1982), the ornamentation at Rice University's Baker Hall in
Houston (1997), and his work on Yale University's Bass Library
entrance pavilion and Sterling Memorial Library stairwell entrance
(2007), the sculptor Kent Bloomer (b. 1935) has not only influenced
the discussion around ornament in contemporary architectural
practice, but has inspired developments in a range of disciplines
that include history, music, art, philosophy, and biology. With a
retrospective look at Bloomer's work as a point of departure,
scholars from a variety of different fields explore his
contributions to the history of ornament as both a social and an
artistic phenomenon. Through the lens of Bloomer's groundbreaking
oeuvre, this volume reorients the discourse of ornament from a
contentious vestige of modernity toward its active relationship to
architecture, landscape, urbanism, and a sense of place.
