Mountains, Mobilities and Movement
AvChristos Kakalis,Emily Goetsch
Inbunden, Engelska, 2017
1 086 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book explores the moving qualities of mountains by utilising theories, ideas and processes which contribute to a larger understanding of these geological forms. In highlighting the fluid attributes of mountains the authors offer an alternative to the traditional approach of the sciences and the humanities, which address mountains as static geological or geographical features. The essays in this collection posit that movement impacts the relationship between society and mountains – travelling landscape objects, constructing design and artistic translations, climbing and experiencing changing atmospheres and the different ways of seeing from mountain peaks – and that physical, intellectual and spiritual motion is integral to their understanding. This innovative collection will be of great interest to scholars of geography, art, architecture, history, theology and philosophy.

Place of Silence

The Place of Silence explores the poetics and politics of silence in architecture. Bringing together contributions by internationally recognized scholars in architecture and the humanities, it explores the diverse practices, affects, politics and cultural meanings of silence, silent places and silent buildings in historical and contemporary contexts. What counts as silence in specific situations is highly relative, and the term itself carries complex and varied significations which make it a revealing field of study. Chapters explore a range of themes, from the apparent ‘loss of silence’ in the contemporary urban world; through designed silent spaces; to the forced silences of oppression, catastrophe, or technological breakdown. The book unfolds a rich and complementary array of perspectives which address – through the lens of architecture and place – questions of sound, atmosphere, and attunement, together building a volume which will form the key scholarly resource on architecture and silence.

The Place of Silence examines the poetics and politics of silence in architecture. Silence and quietness are terms often used by designers and critics to describe buildings, but the terms carry complex and varied meanings which demand interpretation if the power of silence in architecture is to be fully understood. From the buildings of John Hejduk to auditory landscapes and the ‘loss of silence’ in the contemporary urban world, the book explores questions of sound and atmosphere through the lens of architecture and place. Examining the diverse practices, politics and cultural meanings of silent places and buildings in historical and contemporary contexts, the case studies in this book connect a number of themes – from the creation of atmospheric spaces to ideas of attunement and mood in architecture – making The Place of Silence the key resource to understanding this often-overlooked aspect of architecture and architectural design.
Mountains and Megastructures
Neo-Geologic Landscapes of Human Endeavour
AvMartin Beattie,Christos Kakalism. fl.
Inbunden, Engelska, 2020
563 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book explores the shared qualities of mountains as naturally-formed landscapes, and of megastructures as manmade landscapes, seeking to unravel how each can be understood as an open system of complex network relationships (human, natural and artificial). By looking at mountains and megastructures in an interchangeable way, the book negotiates the fixed boundaries of natural and artificial worlds, to suggest a more complex relationship between landscape and architecture. It suggests an ecological understanding of the interconnectedness of architecture and landscape, and an entangled network of relations. Urban, colonialist, fictional, rural and historical landscapes are interwoven into this fabric that also involves discontinuities, tensions and conflicts as parts of a system that is never linear, but rather fluid and organic as driven by human endeavor.

Embodied Awareness of Space
Body, Agency and Current Practice
AvChristos Kakalis,David Boyd
Inbunden, Engelska, 2025
1 563 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This edited volume explores the notion of embodied experience through a diverse range of disciplines: architecture, music, literature, performance studies, philosophy, geopolitics. In doing so, it illuminates the need to redefine the role of the human body as one of the protagonists for raising awareness of space-time issues through processing, experimentation and application of histories and theories of embodied awareness of space. Critically revisiting these spatio-temporal dialogues, this book suggests a method of linking theory, history and practice: past, present and future. The authors reinstate the significance of history and theory in creative thinking, and test their applicability in a number of different areas: theoretical and buildable architectural projects, mapping and geography, representation, and performative arts. This volume will appeal to students and scholars from architecture, art, cultural studies, landscape studies, media studies, and other disciplines in the humanities and social sciences.

Place Experience of the Sacred
Silence and the Pilgrimage Topography of Mount Athos
AvChristos Kakalis
Inbunden, Engelska, 2024
1 410 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book explores the topography of Mount Athos, emphasizing the significance of silence and communal ritual in its understanding. Mount Athos, a mountainous peninsula in northern Greece, is a valuable case study of sacred topography, as it is one of the world’s largest monastic communities and an important pilgrimage destination. Its phenomenological examination highlights the importance of embodiment in the experience of religious places. Combining interdisciplinary insights from architectural theory, philosophy, theology and anthropology with archival and ethnographic materials, the book brings a fresh contribution to both Athonite studies and scholarship on sacred space. By focusing on the interrelation between silence and communal ritual, it offers an alternative to the traditional art historical, objectifying approaches. It reintroduces the phenomenological understanding of place, investigating also how this is expressed through a number of narratives, such as travel literature, maps and diaries.
