Palen (2015) describes sprawl as the process that has contributed to the dependency of the automobile, the creation of low-density housing arrangements, and the segregated placement of commercial buildings in suburban communities. On the onset, sprawl may appear to be an ingenious product created from the expansion of urban cities; however, there are certain consequences that arise from sprawl that indicate that it is actually quite detrimental to many aspects of everyday living. The result of…

Michelangelo was an immaculately gifted poet, painter and sculptor. The third member of the trio who is considered to have a great contribution to the magnificent examples of High Renaissance art is none other than the talented artist Raphael, an architect and gifted painter (italian-renaissance-art). The painters of this new century reflected the new sense of sanguinity felt by many. They were also aware of the debt they owed to those original ideas from artists that had been…

Participation at these events goes beyond engaging and interacting with adults, but to encouraging and involving the youth. Many art events attract playfulness, not only for children but through art that encourages engagement between children and adults. Homo Ludens, written by Johan Huizinga in 1938, discusses the importance of the play, as an element of culture and society. Play being a primary and necessary to generate culture. Play is significantly free and freeing from ordinary life. It is…

The air choked with the stench of disease. The landscape, shriveled and fallow. A syrupy silence hangs over the land. It is 1348; the Black Death is here. Scampering up a mooring rope and into a trade vessel, a harbor rat carries a deadly passenger, the Yersinia pestis. And in October of 1347, the ship, docked in Messina, carries the Black Death into Europe (“Black Death”). Swollen lymph nodes, mottled black skin, and infection are merciless; victims eat lunch with their friends, and dinner…

excellent infrastructure and efficient transport facilities. However, the sprawling nature of expanding cities has taken its toll on surrounding landscapes, with wild plants and animals being replaced with concrete buildings and paved roads. This almost universal approach to urban development is causing humans to lose parts of their local identities, landscapes, biodiversity and environments. The damage to nature is further exacerbate with city-builders often leaving non-human lives…

The Freemont Lofts (by Johnston Architects) promotes communal involvement through its architectural language as well as by providing space for self-expression. It holds the idea of an internal community, where artists have their own singular space to live/work. Having a community of people…

emerging artists (Ryan 2007, 9). As Nicky Ryan notes in her article, ‘Prada and the Art of Patronage,’ Prada has also seated itself within the avant-garde world through numerous collaborations with artists such as Tom Sachs, Andreas Gursky, and architect Rem Koolhaas (Ryan 2007). It therefore would come to no surprise that the brand would be open to a collaboration with Emgreen and Dragset. Considering that the piece is critical of luxury merchandising it would seem paradoxical that Prada would…

(Chittenden, 2017) As a result, the workplace placed an emphasis on social relationships rather than productivity. “There were also some experiments, with the concept of Bürolandschaft (office landscaping) which emerged in Germany in the 1950s: these architects set up an open office which was meant to foster better communication and collaboration by removing spatial hierarchy.” (Triomphe, Flamante, Myerson, 2015) In this sense, people learned from one another and were able to work with people…
