Has the project to usher in Modernity run its full course and is now ready to be replaced by something called Post-Modern Re-examining the very idea of Modernity in architecture and drawing from a number of diverse sources such as philosophy social science art and technology Prof Mehta argues that the normal historical progression of architectural thought and production suffered an epistemological break in mid-18th century caused by the separation between architecture and engineering and resulted in increasing rationalization of architecture Critical writings of several post-Renaissance scholars and academicians aided this process Prof Mehta refers to this as Academic Architecture  While the pre-Renaissance scholars were content to codify the practice of architecture the new writings actively sought to construct an identity of architecture to align it with modern science and industry The overwhelming need to validate architecture from the logico-mathematical perspective favored the cerebral over the existential qualities of architectureProf Mehta asserts that alternatives to the rationalist and positivist narratives always existed in the West and also in several non-Western cultures but the very strong foregrounding of Rationalism confined them to the academia His insightful analysis indicates that the contours of Post Rational architecture are already visible in the works of several contemporary architects 156 pp. 140 Photos (ilustrador).…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Written over four decades, Critiquing the Modern in Architecture is a collection of essays exploring the ideological and metaphysical core of modern architecture. Author Jaimini Mehta moves architectural modernism from its primarily Eurocentric definition, interrogating the subject from the perspective on a non-western thought-world. Mehta groups his essays under three key themes: "Rethinking Modernity" explores the ideological underpinnings of the modernity/modernism binary; "The Idea of Architecture" looks at a number of issues that constitute the timeless and the invariable aspects of architecture against which the prevalent modernist discourse can be critically evaluated; and "On Praxis" looks at three contemporary architects' work and the Vienna Secessionist movement between 1890 and 1918 to articulate a critique of the underpinnings of the modern movement. Providing a new view of the modern in architecture, this book is critical reading for architectural theorists and scholars of modernism. This book is a collection of essays exploring the ideological and metaphysical core of modern architecture. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …

Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. 1st Edition. Departing from the conventional path of describing and explaining the architecture of Fatehpur Sikri, Professor Jaimini Mehta delves into a series of representations the Mughal city has been subjected to and concludes that there is an inexorable tension at its core embodied in the constantly shifting axes, complex rhythms, raising or lowering of the ground planes, juxtapositions of mythical symbols and the conflicting pulls of traditions and human will. The space of Fatehpur Sikri is revealed to us through perception more than through geometry. Professor Mehta's unconventional interpretation of the architecture of Fatehpur Sikri emanates from his exploration of the history of architectural representation and leads him to conclude that the tools of designing, representation and analysis, i.e. various kinds of drawings, which we normally use today, did not exist in sixteenth-century India when Fatehpur Sikri was built. These drawings, which assume our "mind's eye" hovering above the city and taking in the whole of reality at once, have failed to represent the existential lived experience of inhabitation of architecture.…
