Antonio Gaudi, architecture and identity marks

Antonio Gaudi, arhitectură şi repere identitare

Author(s): Valentina Ana / Language(s): English / Issue: 2A/2008

Keywords: Architecture; analysis; typology; style; form

Antonio Gaudí has been the most inventive architect of all times.This is probably why he never was the subject of a biographycal study or any other study or work as he himself was a genius of contradiction, a controversial person, equally admired and criticized in the smallest detail.There are articles and essays about his work published in journals, some of them being quoted in the bibliography, but a volume wholly dedicated to Gaudíy did not appear.This is probably because nobody could graft his unique place in the world.

Objects of Cooperation: An Experience of Moving House

Objects of Cooperation: An Experience of Moving House

Author(s): Maurice Nevile / Language(s): English / Issue: 19/2018

Keywords: Moving House; Charles Goodwin;

I offer some observations on a personal experience of interacting with others to help someone to ‘move house’, that is to move objects, ordinary household lived-with things, from one residential location to another. They were developed as an after-the-event reflection, rather than a designed and systematic research endeavour, so I do not present the kind of detailed transcriptions and analyses typical of Chuck Goodwin’s studies across numerous settings.

Between Palaces and Castles: The Viennese Aristocracy at Home during the First Half of the 18th Century

Between Palaces and Castles: The Viennese Aristocracy at Home during the First Half of the 18th Century

Author(s): Éric Hassler / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2017

Keywords: Urban and seigniorial houses; Counts of Harrach and Questenberg; Vienna;

This contribution shows how the study of urban and seigniorial houses of the Viennese Aristocracy could throw light on the residential options of this social group between the end of the 17th Century and the middle of the 18th Century. As a matter of fact, these elites often owned two residences at least, which correspond to their dual functions: lord and courtier. Thus, their residential customs are part of this permanent tension between the proximity of the prince and the exercise of their seigniorial domination. To analyse architectural forms, iconographical cycles, furniture inventories, but also financial investments is a way to assess the importance, or even the priority, attached to one of these residences. Moreover, these residences contribute to elaborate a proper identity which aims to produce a social distinction among the Court and the Nobility. This paper is be based in particular on two well-documented cases among others: the counts of Harrach and Questenberg who owned each a Viennese palace and a seigniorial castle, one in Lower Austria, the other in Moravia.

Keywords: Cekhov; play; theatre; scenery; performancers; scenographer;

This article is a conceptual analysis of a selective biography regarding the performance based on Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard. Its purpose is to emphasize the importance of this play through the performance’s creators, trying to come up with original elements to unveil hidden meanings of this text. Comparing different representations of this play, we can notice that each of them attempts to unfold obscure meanings within Chekhov texts. In this respect, besides having a brief analysis of the most important and famous performances of this play, I participated in this study with my own representation, brought out at Ariel Municipal Theater from Râmnicu Vâlcea.

The products and services provided by the forest to the population have a great economic and social value, the place of the forestry economy in the national economy being illustrated by the demand for these products and services on the internal and international market. Forests play an important role, not only in the intake of carbon dioxide, but also in the production of biomass and through their potential they have in the renewable energies field. These are important also from a social and cultural point of view, being attractive for the rural and urban population, allowing recreational or healthy activities to take place and they represent an important cultural patrimony. They produce a multitude of goods (wood, berries, edible mushrooms) and protective and recreational activities (hydrological, soil and biodiversity protection). Thus, more and more entrepreneurs tend to develop a business in the field of forestry and forestry exploitation. The purpose of this paper is to determine whether a business in the field is truly cost-effective and whether it can meet both the expectations of the managers and the needs of the clients.
