Italian Renaissance Architecture
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the work of Filippo Brunelleschi, Andrea Palladio and Arnolfo di Cambio as being representative of Italian Renaissance architecture. A hallmark of the Renaissance was that it broke with the traditions of the Middle Ages in form and culture. Whereas the focus of the Middle Ages and the source of all knowledge had been in theology, the study of humanity was the focus of the Renaissance. Theological matters still were of great importance, but they were expressed in different terms. During the Renaissance, beauty came to be acceptable in its own right. Italian Renaissance architecture follows this progression of thought throughout the Renaissance period. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Japanese Identity: The Kimono Designs of Miyake, Youth Clothing, and Architecture
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 9 page paper discussing the modern Japanese identity in relation to fashion and architecture. The modern Japanese identity is highly unique in its combination of the traditional and the “unfettered” modern and often mismatched. Examples of this can be found in the fashions of Issey Miyake and his contemporaries, the fashion selections and manipulations of the Japanese youth and modern Japanese architecture. Regardless of the industry however, a high level of craftsmanship, consistent with Japanese tradition, can be found. Miyake took the traditional and customized kimono and fashioned it for the flexible, international and mass produced market while at the same time defying modern day techniques of conforming the clothing to the contour of the body thus allowing the kimono to still be worn by all women of all body shapes; not usually considered in today’s fashion market. The Japanese youths of today also make their clothing distinct from that of Western countries by taking Western fashions and clothing and combining or manipulating the clothing to develop a modern and mismatched style. The clothing although often appearing vintage or aged is actually extremely high priced and carefully planned. Similarly in modern Japanese architecture, elements of the traditional can still be seen in religious areas such as Kyoto whereas modern urban areas such as Toyko have modern buildings which often combine traditional elements with modern elements which appear to be mismatched but are actually well planned and reflect the freedom of craftsmanship of the architect.

John Pawson: The Comfort of Exactness
[ send me this paper ]
(25pp) Is it any wonder that the artist/
architect, who according to legend, claims that
"there are fifty shades of white," would speak of
his own work in crystalline form? The crystal
itself, in all its own unique purity could well be
a metaphor for Paxon's efforts in this field.
Throughout this discussion we will look for those
thing, which influenced the creativity of both his
lifestyle, and his work. Simplicity brings with
it a certain monumentality. It accommodates the
fundamental essence of architecture, compression
and release, enclosure and transparency. Pawson's
architecture appears unforced, and effortless -
the one who is unaware will think - I could have
done that, or I could have put those materials
together. But we smile to ourselves for we know
that, he-our questioner of these simple but elegant
materials didn't do the work. For the real
appreciation of Pawson is the understanding that
simplicity is not easily achieved.
