Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In this book Nili Portugali presents her particular interpretation ofthe holistic-phenomenological world view in theory and in practice,a world view which has been at the forefront of the scientific discoursein recent years and which is closely related to Buddhistphilosophy.The purpose of architecture is first and foremost to create a humanenvironment for human beings. The real challenge of currentarchitectural practice is to make the best use of the potential inherentin our modern technological age.Yet, modern society has lost the value of man and thus created afeeling of alienation between man and the environment. Contemporaryarchitecture sought to dissociate itself from the world of emotionsand connect the design process to the world of ideas, thuscreating a rational relation between building and man, devoid of anyemotion.Portugali argues that in order to change the feeling of the environmentand to create places and buildings we really feel 'at home'and want to live in, what is needed is not a change of style or fashion,but a transformation of the mechanistic world view underlyingcurrent thought and approaches. Based on Christopher Alexander'sbasic assumption that behind human architecture there are universaland eternal codes common to us all as human beings, and thatthere is absolute truth underlying beauty and comfort, Portugalidemonstrates how this approach, as well as her unique planningprocess stemming from it (based on the way things actually existalready on site), generates that common spiritual experience peopleundergo in buildings endowed with soul, no matter where or fromwhat culture they come from.That she demonstrates in a variety of projects, in relation to thephysical, cultural and social reality of the place they were plannedand built on, an Israeli reality which reflects a unique interface betweenthe orient and the west, a cultural interface she personallyrepresents.Portugali is a lecturer at the Bezalel Academy of Art & Design inJerusalem and a practicing architect working in Israel for more thanthree decades. Her work has focused on both practice and theory.She studied at the Architectural Association School of Architecturein London and at the University of California in Berkeley, and workedand participated in research with Christopher Alexander at the Centerfor Environmental Structure in Berkeley.…
