Leise Formen (9783906027739)



Das Zürcher Architekturbüro E2A hat sich mit der Gestaltung von kulturellen und öffentlichen Einrichtungen, Gewerbebauten sowie Wohnbebauungen einen Namen gemacht. Ihre bekanntesten Arbeiten umfassen die Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung in Berlin, die Broelbergüberbauung in Kilchberg sowie eine Schule für das Zentrum für Gehör und Sprache in Zürich. 2014 haben sie den Wettbewerb für ein neues Redaktionsgebäude der Berliner 'Tageszeitung' gewonnen.
'Leise Formen' beleuchtet ihr Schaffen nun aus einer ungewohnten Perspektive: Seit mehreren Jahren hat der amerikanische Fotograf Jon Naiman Modelle von E2A in gleichermassen reduzierten wie ausdrucksstarken Schwarzweissfotografien aufgenommen. Daraus haben die Architekten Piet und Wim Eckert zusammen mit dem Buchgestalter Marc Kappeler eine aufwendig materialisierte Erforschung des Phänomens Architekturmodelle komponiert, welche der diagrammatischen Qualität der Modelle nachspürt. Die ganzseitigen Fotografien oszillieren zwischen abstrakten, der Kalligrafie verwandten Zeichen und gestochen scharf realistischen Raumsituationen. Der Essay des Neurobiologen Semir Zeki vom University College London wirft einen neuroästhetischen Blick auf Prozesse der Wahrnehmung von Schönheit und Formen im Gehirn.

The Cult of the Saints : Its Rise and Function in Latin Christianity (9780226175263)

In this groundbreaking work, Peter Brown explores how the worship of saints and their corporeal remains became central to religious life in Western Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire. During this period, earthly remnants served as a heavenly connection, and their veneration is a fascinating window into the cultural mood of a region in transition. Brown challenges the long-held "two-tier" idea of religion that separated the religious practices of the sophisticated elites from those of the superstitious masses, instead arguing that the cult of the saints crossed boundaries and played a dynamic part in both the Christian faith and the larger world of late antiquity. He shows how men and women living in harsh and sometimes barbaric times relied upon the holy dead to obtain justice, forgiveness, and power, and how a single sainted hair could inspire great thinkers and great artists. An essential text by one of the foremost scholars of European history, this expanded edition...

The Case Against Education : Why the Education System is a Waste of Time and Money (9781978640986)

Why we need to stop wasting public funds on education Despite being immensely popular - and immensely lucrative - education is grossly overrated. In this explosive book, Bryan Caplan argues that the primary function of education is not to enhance students' skill but to certify their intelligence, work ethic, and conformity - in other words, to signal the qualities of a good employee. Learn why students hunt for easy A's and casually forget most of what they learn after the final exam, why decades of growing access to education have not resulted in better jobs for the average worker but instead in runaway credential inflation, how employers reward workers for costly schooling they rarely if ever use, and why cutting education spending is the best remedy. Caplan draws on the latest social science to show how the labor market values grades over knowledge and why the more education your rivals have, the more you need to impress employers. He explains why graduation is our society...
