Die Vorhangfassade - eine nichttragende Wand, die dem Gerüst eines Skelettbaus als Verkleidung vorgehängt wird - ist aus dem Vokabular der modernen Architektur nicht wegzudenken. Die Entwicklung der Elastomere hat das Traggerüst stark reduziert und die Voraussetzung für rein gläserne Hüllen geschaffen. In diesem Buch werden etwa zwanzig beispielhafte Fassadenlösungen des Büros Cesar Pelli & Associates dokumentiert. Nach den verschiedenen Fassadenmaterialien - Glas, Metall, Stein - geordnet, werden die jeweiligen Konstruktionsdetails ausführlich und mit vielen Zeichnungen dargestellt. Beleuchtet wird auch der Entwicklungsprozess der jeweiligen Fassadenlösung, die meist sehr individualisiert ist in Entwurf ebenso wie in Fertigung. Zu den dokumentierten Bauten gehören der Nakanoshima Mitsui Tower in Osaka, das Cheung Kong Center in Hongkong, die Bank Boston in Buenos Aires, der Mori Tower in Tokio, Heron Quay 3 in London oder das Gebäude 731 Lexington Avenue in New York.Michael J. Crosbie ist Architekt und hat zahlreiche Bücher über Architektur geschrieben. Früher Redakteur der Architekturzeitschrift Progressive Architecture, schreibt er heute regelmäßig für Zeitschriften wie Domus, Architectural Record und Landscape Architecture.

The Political Spirituality of Cesar Chavez: Crossing Religious Borders maps and challenges many of the mythologies that surround the late iconic labor leader. Focusing on Chavez's own writings, León argues that La Causa can be fruitfully understood as a quasi-religious movement based on Chavez's charismatic leadership, which he modeled after Martin Luther King Jr. and Gandhi. Chavez recognized that spiritual prophecy, or political spirituality, was the key to disrupting centuries-old dehumanizing narratives that conflated religion with race. Chavez's body became emblematic for Chicano identity and enfleshed a living revolution. While there is much debate and truth-seeking around how he is remembered, through investigating the leader's construction of his own public memory, the author probes the meaning of the discrepancies. By refocusing Chavez's life and beliefs into three broad movements-mythology, prophecy, and religion-León brings us a moral and spiritual agent to match the political leader.

Depuis quelques années, Lyon a connu un nombre impressionnant de chantiers de sauvetage - qui ont plus d’une fois défrayé la chronique ! La rue des Farges, le Verbe-Incarné, les fouilles liées au métro, d’autres encore. Ces chantiers ont livré des masses considérables d’informations et de matériel, qui renouvellent en grande partie nos connaissances. Ce livre, qui est né d’une rencontre scientifique, se propose de faire le point sur les origines de Lyon. En premier lieu, sont présentés les principaux résultats des découvertes qui ont mis au jour, à Gorge-de-Loup, une installation des VIe et Ve siècles. Puis, 400 ans s’étant écoulés, on se retrouve au Ier s. av. J.-C. : Lyon a-t-elle connu, avant la fondation de Plancus, une occupation gauloise ? César y installa-t-il un camp ? Pourquoi et comment se fit la fondation coloniale ? Les textes antiques ont été repris, re-traduits et commentés. Les fossés du Verbe-Incarné sont décrits et étudiés : ouvrage militaire ? de quand ? Les installations les plus anciennes de Fourvière et de la Sarra sont analysées et leur matériel disséqué. Les conclusions ? Elles mettent plutôt à mal les théories reçues. Cet ouvrage collectif a mobilisé de nombreux chercheurs. Il ne s’adresse pas seulement au milieu scientifique. Les informations qu’il apporte sont aussi destinées aux enseignants et, plus largement, à tous ceux qui - à Lyon et bien au-delà - s’intéressent aux racines de la métropole des Gaules.

Set against the cultural and political backdrop of interwar Europe and the Americas, Poetry in Pieces is the first major study of the Peruvian poet César Vallejo (1892-1938) to appear in English in more than thirty years. Vallejo lived and wrote in two distinct settings-Peru and Paris-which were continually crisscrossed by new developments in aesthetics, politics, and practices of everyday life; his poetry and prose therefore need to be read in connection with modernity in all its forms and spaces. Michelle Clayton combines close readings of Vallejo's writings with cultural, historical, and theoretical analysis, connecting Vallejo-and Latin American poetry-to the broader panorama of international modernism and the avant-garde, and to writers and artists such as Rainer Maria Rilke, James Joyce, Georges Bataille, and Charlie Chaplin. Poetry in Pieces sheds new light on one of the key figures in twentieth-century Latin American literature, while exploring ways of rethinking the parameters of international lyric modernity.
