1	Visten i Lovö naturreservat / Refuge Cabins In Lovö Nature Reserve Crisp, Daniel January 2015 (has links) Spending a night out in the nature is away for many to experience a slowerpace of life. Refuge cabins are a typeof open-air facility sometimes provided for more far off locations, yet it is in the vicinity of cities and towns that the opportunity for getting out into the natural environment is mostly sought after. Several nature reservs exist around Stockholm with the good intention of promoting the opportunity for outdoor activities. The aim of this study is to investigate how the provision of refuge cabins can be a means of facilitating and augmenting outdoor life experience in a proposed nature reserv to the west of Stockholm / En övernattning ute i naturen är för många ett sätt att uppleva naturens långsammare tempo. Visten är en typ av friluftsanordning som finns iordningställda för detta ändamål, huvudsakligen i avlägsna friluftsområden. Samtidigt är det i den tätortsnära naturen det mesta av friluftslivet utövas av den breda befolkningen. Runt Stockholm finns fl era naturreservat vars syfte delvis är att värna möjligheten för friluftsliv. I detta arbete undersöks hur visten kan vara en typ av åtgärd avsedd för att underlätta och lyfta fram naturupplevelser för olika besökare i ett planerat reservat på Lovön, strax väster om Stockholm. viste Lovön Ekerö reservat Architecture Arkitektur
2	Text and Tapestry: "The Lady and the Unicorn," Christine de Pizan and the le Vistes Williams, Shelley 21 May 2009 (has links) (PDF) The luminous, famous and enigmatic The Lady and the Unicorn tapestries are timelss objects at the center of heated scholarly discussion. There are six tapestries, created circa 1480-1500 (figures 1 – 6), and were commissioned by the le Viste family of Lyon, whose heraldic arms appear in each tapestry. This paper seeks to connect the tapestries conceptually to contemporary courtly, feminine ideals, the image of woman in late fifteenth-century Paris, and most importantly to Christine de Pizan's writings, particularly City of Ladies and The Treasury of the City of Ladies, both written in 1405. Through her texts, Christine de Pizan (1363 – 1434) created a noble, dignified image of women that may have influenced the way viewers were intended to perceive The Lady and the Unicorn tapestries. While recent scholarly studies have connected the tapestries to contemporary texts, there has not been a discussion regarding Christine de Pizan's influential writings, their surrounding discourse, or the image of a woman as the visual embodiment of the le Viste family in connection to the tapestries. Specific passages in Christine's texts resemble motifs, objects, and underlying messages in The Lady and the Unicorn. While Christine's works may not have been the direct inspiration for the tapestries, both are a part of the visual and textual make-up of the abstracted feminine ideals that were circulating in Paris and France at large in the fifteenth century. The Lady and the Unicorn may also have had a didactic purpose similar to Christine's Treasury of the City of Ladies, displaying for the le Viste daughters through a visual medium the attributes of the ideal maiden. Exploring the cultural context in which The Lady and the Unicorn was created, specifically as it relates to women in society, the upper class, expectations for young maidens, visual and written moral messages for women and their artistic manifestations provides a new understanding of these exceptional tapestries. lady and the unicorn unicorn lion medieval tapestry tapestries gothic art gothic tapestry woman medieval women maidens Cluny Christine de Pizan Pizan feminist art history art history le Viste Viste family French art French tapestry France fifteenth century lady five senses sight touch taste sound a mon seul desir Art Practice
