Proceed and Be Bold : Rural Studio After Samuel Mockbee

Andrea Oppenheimer Dean


Proceed and Be Bold : Rural Studio After Samuel Mockbee Andrea Oppenheimer Dean Book Description Book Description"Everyone, rich or poor, deserves a shelter for the soul."?Samuel MockbeeBased on this simple premise, in 1992 Samuel Mockbee launched the Rural Studio to create homes and community buildings for the poor while offering hands-on architecture training for coming generations. Choosing impoverished Hale County, Alabama, for his bold experiment, Mockbee and his Auburn University students peppered this left-behind corner of the rural South with striking buildings ofexceptional design. Most use recycled and curious materials: hay bales, surplus tires, leftover carpet tiles, even discarded 1980 Chevy Caprice windshields. The publication of Rural Studio brought this innovative work to the public, and?five printings later?continues to affect the way people view architecture. Since Mockbee's death in 2001, the Rural Studio has continued to thrive, a tribute to its founder's vision. In 2004, the American Institute of Architects posthumously awarded Mockbee its......

The Politics and Plays of Bernard Shaw

Judith Evans


The Politics and Plays of Bernard Shaw Judith Evans Book DescriptionDo politics and the playhouse go together? For Bernard Shaw they most certainly did. As a playwright with a message he saw the theatre as the ideal medium for conveying his view of life, which was essentially socialistic. The theatre was to Shaw a latter-day temple of the arts within a community. But Shaw was, of course, multi-voiced, not only through the characters he created but also in his own persona as public speaker, essayist, tract writer and author of works on political economy. Much of the thinking that is expressed in his non-dramatic works is contained also in his plays. This work offers a readily accessible means of looking at the nature and the progression of Shaw?s thinking. All the plays included in the majorcanon are reviewed and, except for brief plays and playlets (which are grouped), they are presented in sequential order. книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Book DescriptionDo politics and the playhouse go together?
