Authenticity of space: an interdisciplinary convergence of the tradition of sacred music and twenty-first century sacred architectureUnknown Date (has links)
The twenty-first century has already seen some aesthetically exciting sacred architectural spaces. Much liturgical music, however, is centuries old. With regard to performing old music, philosophers such as Steven Davies, etc., have debated the aesthetic merits of striving for authenticity of performance. If authenticity is a valid performance aesthetic principle, as I contend it is, the following paradox arises: Some contemporary sacred spaces are the sites of moving, aesthetically valid performances of sacred music. But how is it possible to have aesthetically valid authentic performances of sacred music in twenty-first century sacred spaces?... The question of authenticity in this unique musical genre focuses on performance space, liturgical function, musical instruments, performer/listener interaction, and cultural conditions. ...Using architectural examples constructed in the twenty-first century, this thesis will propose a set of aesthetic criteria for achieving an authentic setting for sacred music from all periods. / by Daniel Copher. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2012. / Includes bibliography. / Mode of access: World Wide Web. / System requirements: Adobe Reader.

The construction of buildings and histories: Hudson’s Bay Company department stores, 1912-26Monteyne, David P. 05 1900 (has links)
Between 1913 and 1926, the aged British commercial institution, the
Hudson's Bay Company (HBC), built four monumental department stores across
Western Canada in Calgary, Vancouver, Victoria, and Winnipeg. In this thesis
extensive archival research on the buildings and the HBC's architectural policies is
analyzed within the contexts of Canadian social history, and of Company business
history. The HBC was making new advances into the department store field, and
the stores were clad in a standardized style intended to create a particular image of
the Company in contrast to its competitors. Popular in Britain at the time, this
Edwardian Classicism emphasized the HBC's history as the official representative
of the British Empire across the hinterlands, a history largely defunct by the turn of
the century. The opulent style also helped to establish the stores as key cultural
institutions and as palaces of consumption. After World War One the HBC also
began to stress its specific historical role in the Canadian fur trade and the
settlemehtof the nation, through the use of various other architectural features
such as the display windows, art galleries and museums set up inside the new
stores, and by the historical sites of Company buildings.
The competition between historical themes -British Imperial and Canadian
frontierist- evidenced in the HBC department stores were tied to social factors.
Demographic changes and nationalist sentiment after WWI forced the HBC to
recognize Canada's particular pluralist society, and to mediate its image as a purely
British organization. Many staff members and customers had no ties to the
Company or the Empire, so the HBC invented a tradition that the public could
relate to and participate in. The codification of a representational strategy was
complicated by the differing agendas of the Company's London Board and its
Canadian management. The study of architectural issues such as urban context,
style, and building use establishes how the modern HBC employed history through modes of representation in the built environment, to justify its claims to the loyalty
of a diverse population of workers and customers.

The perception of abstract symbolism and its effect on political architecture : towards a Pan African Parliament in Durban.Mtshali, Daluxolo. 12 September 2014 (has links)
The focus of this research is in the area of political architecture and the way it has
been affected by the way people perceive architectural symbols that represent
abstract political agendas and ideologies. Such a study is important in order to create
political buildings that respond better to their region and the society present there.
The research approach adopted in this dissertation includes an extensive study of
relevant literature and the implementation of practical research through case studies
of the Apartheid Museum and Constitutional Court, using semi-structured interviews
with key figures and standard questionnaires to the general public visiting the
buildings. The findings from this research provide evidence that people’s perception
of abstract symbolism represented architecturally is affected by their age, familiarity
with architecture and level of education. Furthermore, it was found that political
architecture should embody the true nature of its region and the society, while still
representing the political agenda of the present power. The main conclusion being
that the abstract political message becomes positively interpreted and adopted by the
society, and the building becomes the physical symbol of that abstract political intent.
This dissertation argues for a political architecture that symbolises the diverse
identities of all South Africans so that the architecture can, through its symbolism,
bring about positive social change.
