Harmony and Counterpoint: An Adaptive Reuse of Frank Lloyd Wright's A.D. German Warehouse

Garden, James MacDonald 09 February 2006 (has links)
Constructed in his self-acknowledge hometown of Richland Center, Wisconsin, Frank Lloyd Wright was to work on the A.D. German Warehouse twice during his lifetime. Initially constructed between 1917 and 1921, financial woes on the part of the owner led to a shuttered building. In 1934 Wright worked on an adaptive reuse, but the plans were never to be implemented and German lost the building for good. A careful study of the history of the structure, foregoing todays computers for Wrights triangles, and an analysis of the frieze led me to my own adaptive reuse. The musical characteristics of harmony and countperpoint found powerful expression in the pairings of vertical and horizontal, light and dark, and new and old. These relational tensions resonated with the internal structure of the transformational geometry and created a powerful resolution between the enclosing massive forms of the original Warehouse and my new design. / Master of Architecture

[en] HUMENULLS PRINCIPLE: POSSIBILITY OF A (NEO) FREGEAN PHILOSOPHY OF ARITHMETIC? / [pt] PRINCÍPIO DE HUME: POSSIBILIDADE DE UMA FILOSOFIA (NEO) FREGEANA DA ARITMÉTICA?

ALESSANDRO BANDEIRA DUARTE 14 July 2004 (has links)
[pt] A dissertação apresenta e discute as idéias desenvolvidas por Crispin Wright no livro Frege´s Conception of Numbers as Objects (1983), em particular, a sua tese de que a aritmética é analítica. Wright deposita toda sua força argumentativa (em relação à analiticidade da aritmética) na derivação dos axiomas da aritmética de segunda ordem de Dedekind-Peano a partir do Princípio de Hume. Assim, é nosso principal objetivo apresentar e discutir em que medida o Princípio de Hume é capaz de fornecer, segundo Wright, um relato da analiticidade da aritmética, assim como, as objeções a esse relato. / [en] The dissertation presents and discusses the ideas developed by Crispin Wright in his book Frege's Conception of Numbers as Objects (1983), in particular his thesis that arithmetic is analytic. Wright concentrates all his argumentative efforts (in relation to the analyticity of arithmetic) on the derivation of the axioms of Dedekind-Peano's second order arithmetic from Hume's Principle. Thus, it is our main goal to present and discuss how Hume's Principle provides, according to Wright, an explanation of the analytic character of arithmetic as well as some objections to this account.

To do so, heuristic and metaheuristic based algorithms applied towards the development of a decision support system, with georeferenced interface were developed. The algorithms had as base heuristic methods built in two phases, besides a metaheuristic. The interface layer used as visualization component is based in cartographic data that indicates the location of the points to be assisted and the paths that connects them, forming a road system represented using the Google Maps® API. The algorithms were validated using instances from the literature, presenting satisfactory results regarding optimization based in the methods that were used, showing that it is possible the usage of the developed system in the distribution of agricultural products. / Este trabalho apresenta uma solução para o problema de roteamento de veículos com frotas homogêneas. Para tanto, foram desenvolvidos algoritmos baseados em heurísticas e meta-heurísticas aplicadas ao desenvolvimento de um sistema de apoio a decisão, com interface georreferenciada. Os algoritmos tiveram como base métodos heurísticos construtivos e em duas fases, além de uma meta-heurística. A camada de interface utilizada como componente de visualização é baseada em dados cartográficos que indicam a localização dos pontos a serem atendidos e as vias que os interligam, formando a malha viária que é representada utilizando a API do Google Maps®. Os algoritmos foram validados utilizando instâncias da literatura, apresentando resultados satisfatórios em relação a otimização baseada nos métodos utilizados, mostrando ser possível a utilização do sistema desenvolvido para a distribuição de produtos agrícolas.

I skenet av stearinljus : Religion och vetenskap i tre verk av Joseph Wright of Derby / Illuminated by candlelight : Religion and science in three works of Joseph Wright of Derby

Fransson, Emma January 2019 (has links)
This paper presents a contextual analysis of Joseph Wright of Derby's “scientific series” which contains three paintings with science motifs. The purpose of the essay is to analyze how the contemporary context has been expressed in the paintings with regard to the relationship between religion and science. This is done with a theoretical starting point in the concepts of nomos and anomy. Together this starting point and method create a basis for a broader understanding of these three paintings with a focus on religion and science. My conclusion is that these three paintings express the tense relationship between religion and science that was current in England during the 18th century (and is still found today), and that each painting provides information about the changes that arose in the nomos in correlation to the progress of science. Much research has been made on these three paintings separately, studying these paintings together, however, opens up for many new interpretations.

Fathom's Edge

Sweeney, Mark 05 1900 (has links)
Investigating elements of the creative process in the work of three poets: James Wright, Gjertrud Schnackenberg, and Pegeen Kelly. Each poet deploys a different method for access to those experiences that lie at the edge of accessible language. Each method is discussed and its deployment illustrated. Wright leads us from the sensory world to the supersensual. Schnackenberg makes use of the formal device of the fairy tale. Kelly immerses in the logic of dreams. Drawing on Elaine Scarry's theory of the imagination, the case is made that the poetic act is a dialectic between the poet and the sensory world, in which perception and imagination are equally important.

Luiz Gastão de Castro Lima: trajetória e obra de um arquiteto / Luiz Gastão de Castro Lima: a biography of an architect

Bernardi, Cristiane Kröhling Pinheiro Borges 26 September 2008 (has links)
Desde a década de 50, o ensino de arquitetura em São Paulo enfocou uma grande discussão de valores éticos e estéticos, tendo como centro difusor a Faculdade de Arquitetura da USP e como principal articulador Vilanova Artigas. Na época, duas linhas se divergiam no âmbito do discurso arquitetônico, dentro e fora da universidade: os racionalistas e os organicistas, ou como costumavam se declarar, os corbusianos e os wrightianos. Os dois grupos geraram no seio da discussão moderna nacional, debates interessantes que foram muitas vezes além do aspecto arquitetônico. Entre os declaradamente wrightianos estava o jovem Luiz Gastão de Castro Lima, formado pela FAU-USP em 1954, depois de ter cursado dois anos na Politécnica. A recuperação de sua produção acadêmica e arquitetônica, ainda que pautada na experiência relativa de uma trajetória individual, é capaz de ilustrar uma parte da história da arquitetura que ficou por muito tempo às margens da historiografia. / Since the 50\'s, the teaching of architecture in Sao Paulo has focused on a broad discussion of ethical and aesthetic values, having as its diffuser centre the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of Sao Paulo (FAU-USP), and as its main articulator Vilanova Artigas. At the time, two streams used to have different ideas about the architectural discourse: the racionalistas and organicistas, or as they used to call themselves, corbusianos and wrightianos. The discussions generated by these two groups have sometimes gone beyond the architectural aspect. Among the wrightianos was Luiz Gastão de Castro Lima, who graduated by FAU-USP in 1954 after two years studying at Polytechnic school. The recovery of his academic and architectural production is able to illustrate a part of the history of architecture that was, for a long time, kept on the edge of historiography.

Características peculiares a pesquisas acadêmicas em áreas de prática projetual no Brasil : abordagem da obra de Frank Lloyd Wright

Beck, Turna Hortela 25 August 2011 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-03-15T19:21:46Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Turna Beck.pdf: 10326392 bytes, checksum: fdcb8d1f815aecd04b62aec2a61050e8 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011-08-25 / Fundo Mackenzie de Pesquisa / This dissertation addresses, in its first part, the practice-based research problems in the academic research s architectural area. The purpose is to verify in what proportion research methods, that evolve non-textual analysis process, show up and to interpret them as academic elements of argumentation. The intention is to contribute to the reflection on academic knowledge production and its communication in practice-based areas X required patterns in the academic context. To set a boundary to this research, were analyzed Brazilian academic work (theses and dissertations) attended by about design methods and / or visual approach of the architectural work of Frank Lloyd Wright. Through these studies, a gap was identified: the lack of a deeper iconographic analysis about the influence of the Japanese art and architecture in the North American architect work. The second part of this dissertation, therefore, presents and emphasizes the role of images when the Japanese culture resonance on Frank Lloyd Wright's work is approached. The purpose of this effort has two-fold: the first one is to illustrate and to emphasize the importance of the visual or non-textual material employment, in the academic argumentation construction in the architectural area, which purposes are, for example, to detect or discuss projectual influences. The second intention is the contribution to supply the gap mentioned before, which is, the little attention given by Brazilian academic works about Japanese art s influence on Wright s work. The analysis of the academic works has helped to a better comprehension of which elements and resources, and how they must be employed in an academic research that has the practice-based characteristics. The construction of the exercise in the second part of this work uses the association of text and image, pointing, this way, to evidences that, if the use of non-textual resources, sometimes may be essential to the substantiation of an argumentation, on the other hand, this same argumentation cannot does without the text to be clearly enounced. / Esta pesquisa aborda, em sua primeira parte, a problemática da prática projetual na produção acadêmica na área de arquitetura. O objetivo é verificar em que medida comparecem métodos de pesquisa ligados a processos não textuais de análise e ponderar sobre seu papel como elementos de argumentação acadêmica. A intenção é contribuir para a reflexão sobre produção de conhecimento acadêmico e sua comunicação nas áreas de prática projetual X padrões exigidos no contexto acadêmico. Para limitar o âmbito da pesquisa foram analisados trabalhos acadêmicos brasileiros (teses e dissertações) que contassem com métodos projetuais e/ou visuais na abordagem da obra arquitetônica de Frank Lloyd Wright. Ao proceder com as leituras desses trabalhos foi identificada uma lacuna: a ausência de análises iconográficas mais aprofundadas sobre a ressonância da arte e arquitetura japonesa na obra do arquiteto norte-americano. A segunda parte deste trabalho, portanto, apresenta e enfatiza o papel das imagens quando se fala sobre a ressonância da cultura japonesa na obra de Wright. O objetivo deste esforço tem dupla intenção: a primeira é ilustrar e enfatizar a importância do emprego de material de natureza visual, e não-textual, na construção de argumentações acadêmicas na área de arquitetura, que visem, por exemplo, detectar ou discutir influências projetuais. A segunda é a contribuição para suprir a lacuna identificada acima, qual seja, a pouca atenção dada pelos trabalhos acadêmicos brasileiros sobre Frank Lloyd Wright à ressonância da arte japonesa em sua obra. A análise dos trabalhos acadêmicos buscou contribuir para a melhor compreensão da dinâmica entre os elementos e recursos textuais e não-textuais na elaboração da argumentação acadêmica. A construção do exercício na segunda parte do trabalho utiliza a associação de texto e imagem, apontando assim, para efeito desta investigação, indícios de que se a utilização de recursos não-textuais por vezes se mostra essencial na substanciação de uma argumentação, por outro lado, esta mesma argumentação não pode prescindir do texto para ser claramente enunciada.
