In dit boek staan eenvoudige vragen centraal die velen interesseren, maar waaraan nog maar weinigen aandacht hebben besteed. Waarom behoort American football tot de populairste sporten van de Verenigde Staten, is China een tafeltennisbolwerk, Nederland een schaatsland en Nieuw-Zeeland een rugbynatie? Waarom wordt voetbal wereldwijd massaal beoefend en kent korfbal alleen in ons land een grote populariteit? Bij de beantwoording van deze vragen schuwt Maarten van Bottenburg een wijde blik niet. Hij beschrijft de verspreiding en popularisering van ongeveer dertig sporten over de hele wereld in de afgelopen honderd jaar.

This book provides an insightful overview of the major cultural forms of 1930's America: literature and drama, music and radio, film and photography, art and design, and a chapter on the role of the federal government in the development of the arts. The intellectual context of 1930's American culture is a strong feature, whilst case studies of influential texts and practitioners of the decade - from War of the Worlds to The Grapes of Wrath and from Edward Hopper to the Rockefeller Centre - help to explain the cultural impulses of radicalism, nationalism and escapism that characterize the United

This book provides a comprehensive, critical overview of the developments in architecture from 1960 to 2010. The first section provides a presentation of major movements in architecture after 1960, and the second, a geographic survey that covers a wide range of territories around the world. This book not only reflects the different perspectives of its various authors, but also charts a middle course between the 'aesthetic' histories that examine architecture solely in terms of its formal aspects, and the more 'ideological' histories that subject it to a critique that often skirts the discussion of its formal aspects.

Das Ornament gewinnt gegenwärtig in der Architektur einen neuen Stellenwert. Innovative Technologien des Entwerfens und der digitalen Bauteilproduktion verändern seine Rolle redikal, indem sie die expressiven Formen des Ornaments in Beziehung zur konstruktiven Logis eines Bauwerks setzen. Damit eröffnet sich eine Fülle von neuen Interaktionsmöglichkeiten zwischen Funktion und Dekor, Bau und Oberfläche, Tragwerk und Hülle.Das Buch stellt in einem systematischen Überblick die Verfahren und Strategien der Herstellung und Verwendung des Ornaments dar und beschreibt realisierte Beispiele aus der internationalen Gegenwartsarchitektur. Darüber hinaus schildern und analysieren drei Architekten mit besonderer Expertise auf dem Gebiet des avancierten Ornaments ihre Erfahrungen: Sam Jacob von Fashion Architecture Taste, London, Andreas Hild von Hild und K Architekten, München, und Alejandro Zaera-Polo von Foreign Office Architects, London. Ornament is currently acquiring a renewed status in architecture. As contemporary technologies of design and fabrication introduce unprecedented opportunities to intertwine the constructive logics and expressive articulations of buildings, ornament has re-emerged as a means to explore the interactions between function and decoration, volume and surface, structure and envelope. This book gives a systematic account of the technologies employed in the production of ornament and the strategies of its application today, examining a range of international built examples. Architects with particularly advanced approaches to the question of ornament contribute reports and reflections on their experiences: Sam Jacob of Fashion Architecture Taste (FAT), London; Andreas Hild of Hild und K Architekten, Munich; and Alejandro Zaera-Polo of Foreign Office Architects (FOA), London.
