With new research on building programs in political, religious, and domestic settings in the United States and Europe, this collection of essays offers a fresh look at postwar modernism and the role that architecture played in constructing modern identities.
In the decades following World War II, modern architecture spread around the globe alongside increased modernization, urbanization, and postwar reconstruction—and it eventually won widespread acceptance. But as the limitations of conventional conceptions of modernism became apparent, modern architecture has come under increasing criticism. In this collection of essays, experienced and emerging scholars take a fresh look at postwar modern architecture by asking what it meant to be “modern,” what role modern architecture played in constructing modern identities, and who sanctioned (or was sanctioned by) modernism in architecture.
This volume presents focused case studies of modern architecture in three realms—political, religious, and domestic—that address our very essence as human beings. Several essays explore developments in Czechoslovakia, Romania, and Yugoslavia and document a modernist design culture that crossed political barriers, such as the Iron Curtain, more readily than previously imagined. Other essays investigate various efforts to reconcile the concerns of modernist architects with the traditions of the Roman Catholic Church and other Christian institutions. And a final group of essays looks at postwar homebuilding in the United States and demonstrates how malleable and contested the image of the American home was in the mid-twentieth century. These inquiries show the limits of canonical views of modern architecture and reveal instead how civic institutions, ecclesiastical traditions, individual consumers, and others sought to sanction the forms and ideas of modern architecture in the service of their respective claims or desires to be modern.
Описание: Certain factors cloud our understanding of salvation-truth. We cling to personal factors in sin and unbelief. God shrouds truth and salvation ingredients until His greatest unpacking in the Cross. I label personal and biblical shrouding as haze factors or curtains. The back cover reads: Personal and biblical haze-curtains are opened in Finding God's Will in the Redeemed View of Life: Toward a Reformed Definition of Grace to expose God's Will for humanity in the Cross and Gospel of Christ. God wants us to know How to avoid the car wrecks of life; His Word, Will, Ways and Christ's mind; The Crux of Atonement from a Cross-view; His Grace that makes sinners into holy ones; The majesty of New Covenant truth; The Freedom of Law through Grace; and His power so we can glorify Him. Christian Faith suffers today. Nominal Christianity - professing Christ but living a practical pagan or atheist lifestyle - is the church's scourge. God's Word offers correctives to overcome this dilemma by exalting Christ's Gospel of Grace. Whether you are a seeker or believer who needs adjustment, these correctives push us to Image Christ. I don't want to kick the tires of the Church but seriously reflect on how we drive our faith. Are you up to the challenge? Finding God's Will is more about attitude and practice than a position. It's easy to wear someone else's faith. Many reject this second-hand approach without finding God's Will in organic relationship with Jesus. I want to provoke the real thing. The Redeemed View of Life shows how to live from Christ's mind and perspective. Professing Christ is one thing but possessing and 'wearing' Christ is eternally-essential. Readers discover how to embrace and live a Christ-reflecting lifeview - to Likeness Jesus Christ. In His assessment of 1st century Jews, Jesus declared two paths. One was broad, easy and well-traveled; it ends in destruction. Change course if you're on this path. The other was narrow, hard and not well-traveled; it ends in eternal life. Live it to the fullest if you're on this Christ-following path. Jesus exposed nominal faith in contrast to Christianity. I desire to provoke the 'cake-reality' of Scripture - Christ formed in us - with myriad salvation-recipes. I want you to discover this cake-reality to grow in New Covenant majesty as God can transform us into Trophies of Grace. Readers are challenged to examine what and why they profess - to make sure they possess His reality. I frame my challenge to go where it counts most - in Justification, Salvation and empowerment to Likeness Christ. Biblical Grace provides necessary holiness; I passionately unpack 'my' definition as Grace leads us into obedience because of His Cross-Work. This book helps discover the reality that counts for eternity - that proverbial needle in the haystack

Описание: The offbeat musicals... The stylized biopics... The visceral social dramas... The one-of-kind genre films... These are the types of films British director, writer, producer and cartoonist Sir Alan Parker has worked on. Parker is known for his humility as a director and has never considered himself an auteur. This book is the first study of his complete body of feature films (1976-2003).
