Paperback. Zustand: Good. The pristine, the ruined, the ephemeral, and even the notional are the subject of Robert Harbison's highly original and admittedly romantic contribution to the literature of architecture. His fresh perceptions open this practical art to new interpretations as he explores the means by which buildings, real or imagined, evade or surpass functional necessities while sometimes satisfying them. What fascinates Harbison in these discussions are the paradoxes and ironies of function that give rise to meaning, to a psychological impact that may or may not have been intended. He chooses examples from an architectural borderland - of gardens, monuments, ideal cities and fortification, ruins, paintings, and unbuildable buildings -where use and symbolism overlap; he examines the exceptions at the edges of a field that will illuminate its center. Harbison's pursuit of man's efforts to fashion art from nonhuman life begins with a consideration of gardens and the organic architecture of the English Arts and Crafts movement and of Gaudi, then turns to monuments (Claes Oldenburg, Christo, the Vietnam Memorial) that are either the nearest or the furthest thing from gardens. Harbison's discussion of fortification and urban planning leads to metaphorical themes (fort-features in churches or prisons or Fascist municipal buildings) and mocked-up worlds (Williamsburg, Disneyland), and to the subject of fictional space as expressed in ruins, in painting, in the unbuildable, and finally in the inconceivable as revealed in Kafka's sketches.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Path of Life: Built, Unbuilt, and RebuiltYou are not broken. You are unfinished. This is the core message of The Path of Life, a practical guide for anyone navigating the chaos of career collapse, emotional burnout, identity loss, or uncertain transition.Drawing on decades of field research in human development and governance, author Dorendra Bahadur Thapa introduces the BUR (Built, Unbuilt, Rebuilt) Framework-a powerful model for understanding life's cycles. This book reframes collapse not as failure but as preparation. It is the necessary dismantling of outdated structures to make room for authentic growth.Moving beyond motivational clichés, this guide offers actionable tools, from the 70% Rule for decision-making in chaos to Emotional Scaffolding techniques for inner stability. Whether you are recovering from a layoff, a shattered dream, or quiet exhaustion, you will learn how to detach from legacy patterns, prototype a new identity, and set boundaries as structural beams, not walls. The Path of Life is not a book to simply read; it is a manual for conscious reconstruction. Stop surviving and start rebuilding with clarity, resilience, and purpose.…
