Abstract:

The writing of the French architectural theorist and critic Cesar Daly (1811-1894), editor of the influential Parisian journal, the Revue generale de l'architecture et des travaux publics, may be considered to be representative of the ambivalence of the supposed 19th century dialectic between scientism and metaphysical idealism. For Daly the physical and representational needs of society expressed in architecture were always and forever inextricably linked by the universal and permanent pattern of History. Although it was his fundamental thesis that the human sensibility was more important tha

Abstract:

This dissertation provides an account of how computing left behind its origins in academic and military research to become part of the hospital's equipmental setting. I examine the efforts of reformers, including administrators, planners, architects, and computer consultants, to provide appropriate accommodation for modern biomedicine. I explore three stories in order to untangle the admixture of architecture, medicine, and computation as they intertwined through a mutual engagement with automation, operations research, cybernetics, and biomedical research in the postwar hospital.

Alexandre Brongniart was known for his work as an important geologist and as an administrator at the Sèvres Porcelain Manufactory, but his roles as art historian and museologist are overlooked. Brongniart created a holistic methodology taken directly from science and applied it to ceramic art of all cultures and eras. He had a uniquely modern perspective on time, world culture, and archeology. Brongniart wrote about the art of Asia and the Americas on an equal status with that of the Classical West at least fifty years before it became a mainstream idea.

Abstract:

This thesis examines science's role in the construction of Britain's new Houses of Parliament between 1834 and 1860. Architecturally the Gothic Palace embodies Victorian notions of the medieval and romanticized perceptions of English history. Yet in the mid-nineteenth century, the building not only reflected, but was involved in, the very latest scientific knowledge. This included chemistry, optics, geology, horology, and architecture as a science itself. Science was chosen, performed, trusted, displayed, contested, and debated through the physical space of government. Parliament was a place w

Abstract:

From 1927 through 1939, Salvador Dalí went through an arduous artistic pursuit to visualize his perspective on reality. Dalí’s inter-connected visual and verbal process lasted for over a decade, during which he went from confronting reality to accepting that the world is an irrational paradox. This study asserts that his investigation took him from the fragmented images of cinema to the metamorphic shapes of the ‘soft and hard’ and ultimately to a series of multiple images, which envisioned his paranoid-critical method. In his 1930 article “The Rotting Donkey,” Dalí wrote, “I believe that the

It also gives examples of literary theorists whose works can be applied to political cartooning, including Frederick Saussure, Mikhail Bakhtin, and Wolfgang Iser.

Ramachandran identifies a precursor for his theory in the concept of rasa (literally “juice”) from classical Hindu aesthetics, which he associates with “exaggeration.” The canonical Sanskrit texts of Bharata Muni’s Natya Shastra and Abhinavagupta’s Abhinavabharati, however, do not support Ramachandran’s conclu

Abstract:

Cette étude couvre l'ensemble de l'architecture mésopotamienne du IVe millénaire av. J.-C., tant les grands ensembles monumentaux comme celui d'Uruk que le bâti domestique. En s'attachant à la planification technique et métrologique de la conception et l'implantation des plans, elle a livré une série de résultats concluants sur l'emploi d'un petit nombre d'unités de mesure récurrentes organisées en système et sur l'utilisation de schémas aux proportions simples dans la construction des bâtiments. L'examen de quelques sites exceptionnels a montré qu'y avait été mis en œuvre un projet architectu

Abstract:

La présente thèse pose la question de l'usage des techniques infographiques et images de synthèse pour représenter les vestiges du passé et plus exactement le patrimoine archéologique et architectural. Cette réflexion est bâtie autour d'une approche multiple. Les dispositifs infographiques appartenant, en effet, à l'ensemble des inventions médiatiques et culturelles nées dans la société d'après-guerre, notre étude se veut profondément transdisciplinaire, empruntant des théories à l'Histoire de l'art, l'Archéologie et les Sciences de l'Information et de la Communication. Le parcours suivi consi

Abstract:

Cette étude se penche sur une catégorie particulière des ingénieurs-conseils exerçant dans le milieu de l'architecture en France entre 1945 et 1975. Ingénieurs d'origine étrangère non diplômés en France ; autodidactes ; ingénieurs diplômés en tant qu'architectes ou issus de grandes écoles françaises mais ayant décidé de quitter les secteurs publics ou privés pour s'installer en tant que libéraux, ces cas particuliers ne sont pourtant pas des cas isolés, dix ans après la loi qui réglemente en France le titre d'ingénieur. Exerçant en marge des circuits classiques, nous avons cherché à comprendre

Dans chaque pays, ce mouvement artistique prit des appellations et des physionomies différentes. Mélangé souvent aux traditions locales, ce style international développa un langage original jusqu’à devenir parfois synonyme de style national, revêtant selon le cas un costume national, moderne et européen. <p>Dans ce contexte international et de promotion de l’identité nationale, le cas très particul

Abstract:

En Aquitaine, les initiatives du castorat, mouvement coopératif polymorphe, se posent comme autant d'alternatives aux carences des politiques publiques, quand la société civile se charge de résoudre par elle-même le problème du logement. L'apparition d'un tel mouvement n'est pas étrangère à l'acuité du problème du logement, dans une région où l'industrialisation douce n'a pas autorisé de prise de conscience de la question sociale par les élites urbaines. La " nonchalance " aquitaine, dose à la fois de dissidence et d'autonomie, œuvre dans le sens d'une modération, facteur majeur de l'absence d

Abstract:

Le fer fait partie intégrante de la conception initiale des églises gothiques rouennaises et troyennes. Dès le XIIIe siècle, il y est employé en dizaines de tonnes dans les armatures de vitraux. On le retrouve également dans la maçonnerie et dans la charpente sous forme de tirants, de chaînages structurels et de petites pièces, agrafes et goujons, servant à attacher les nombreux éléments de décor. Ses nombreux usages ainsi que les questions du rôle, des quantités, de l'origine et du coût de ces fers sont abordés par une étude interdisciplinaire alliant prospections dans le bâti, recherches dan
