Intriguingly, much of this perception can be traced back to the definitive writings on the subject by architectural academic Reyner Banham. In 1955, he penned the article ‘The New Brutalism’ for the prominent British journal The Architectural Review, recognising an approach to architecture promulgated by Alison and Peter Smithson, who valued direct- ness, ordinariness and social equity. At first lauding and eventually somewhat denigrating their practice, Banham not only offered an explanation of new brutalism but he effectively constructed a pre-history for it—brutalism—both etymological and stylistic. It is one that the Smithsons consider largely fictitious. Banham’s article offers a strange prophecy for brutalism’s ends. Curiously, it opens by questioning the role of observers in con- structing (and distorting) history. Banham identifies two forms of ‘ism’: one ‘consciously adopted by a group of artists’ themselves and one applied to practitioners by critics and historians who locate some commonality among them, perhaps irrespective of the practitioners’ own knowledge or agreement.[1] Such are the coun- terposed roles of the Smithsons and Banham himself.Ask today what brutalism means and many will say ‘concrete’. Or perhaps ‘raw’, maybe ‘honest’. One might cite its derivation from the French term béton brut.

Within this is a re-discovery of the historical trace and its power as a polemical tool in the construction of images and their dissemination. This paper investigates the role of the objet trouvé within the activities of the avant-garde, with an emphasis on the theoretical discourse that was attached to surrealism in the 1970s. The objet trouvé—literally “found object”—became a fascination for both Dada and surrealism in the 1920s. Both movements used the discovery of objects (and the associated psychological displacement) to challenge bourgeois conventions of the art object and contemporary expectations of lived experience. In the 1970s there was, for the first time, a dedicated discourse on avant-garde practice which set out to diagnose the specific practices of the historical avant-garde and the philosophical motivations underpinning them. If modernism was characterised by the autonomy of the artistic object in this discourse, avant-garde practices in this period were defined by the conflation of art and life in artistic production and the rejection of aesthetic categories more generally. In this sense, the avant-garde can be seen as a distinct trajectory from modernism: a fact that has been made explicit in the theoretical positions of both Hilde Heynen (1999) and Andreas Huyssen (1986), amongst others.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:54:20 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:15775 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:32:38 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:22545 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:17:14 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:14796 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:58:39 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:13664 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:49:30 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:11841 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:26:55 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:18456 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:25:39 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:28744 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:44:54 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:20331 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:03:50 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:26697 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:18:57 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:42919 Wed 07 Sep 2022 11:42:02 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:35038 Wed 07 Jul 2021 12:04:52 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:52498 Wed 06 Mar 2024 14:39:16 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:15429 Tue 27 Mar 2018 15:57:22 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:34284 Tue 26 Feb 2019 12:16:52 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51731 Tue 24 Oct 2023 11:38:38 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:42477 Tue 23 Aug 2022 14:52:16 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:41015 Thu 21 Jul 2022 12:01:24 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:48850 Thu 13 Apr 2023 09:52:41 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:11838 Thu 12 Apr 2018 13:43:57 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:17630 Thu 12 Apr 2018 09:56:24 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:41701 Thu 11 Aug 2022 14:21:31 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:18905 Sun 26 Jul 2015 17:25:11 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:13464 Sat 24 Mar 2018 10:35:47 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:26669 Sat 24 Mar 2018 10:16:21 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:31633 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:45:05 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:31372 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:43:42 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:31724 Reza Negarestani’s Cyclonopedia: complicity with anonymous materials. The philosophical notions of ‘fabulation’ and ‘creative fabulation’ are used as a conceptual framework to explore and characterise these readings. The paper suggests that the text’s creative readings of Middle Eastern architectures and landscapes are integral to a particular narrative within the Cyclonopedia text. The philosophical notions explored in this paper are primarily drawn from the writings of philosopher Gilles Deleuze, including the collaborative works he produced with psychoanalyst Félix Guattari. Deleuze and Guattari specifically refer to the notions of ‘fabulation’ or myth-making and ‘creative fabulation’ within their text, What is Philosophy?, in which they also refer to philosopher Henri Bergson’s original conception of fabulation.

However, Prado died before the publication of this volume and Villalpando was left to complete the project alone. Volumes II and III were subsequently published in 1604. Volume II, De Postrema Ezechielis Prophetae Visione, contains Villalpando’s famous reconstruction of the Temple along with his justification for it. Volume III, Apparatus Vrbis ac Templi Hiersolymitani, consists of explanatory notes for the first two volumes. The overall project is a massive body of extraordinary and detailed scholarship. Villalpando was a highly skilled architect and draftsman and his reconstruction of the Temple is illustrated by a portfolio of exceptionally detailed architectural drawings. The project was an expensive one and it was only made possible through the financial support of Philip II of Spain. Villalpando studied mathematics under the royal architect, Juan de Herrera, who at that time was involved with the construction of the Escorial. Herrera had an extensive library of books on the occult; these books indicated a strong interest in Hermetism, which is also supported by Herrera’s treatise Sobre la figura cúbica (1935) on the Hermetic philosopher Ramón Lull. Fundamentally, Renaissance Hermetism promulgated a belief in an astrologically ordered cosmology where a geo-centric universe was divided into three worlds: the world of man, the celestial world of the planets and the fixed stars, and the super-celestial world of God (Taylor 1972: 63–64). The Christian Hermetism that was practiced in the Renaissance was a combination of Christianity and prisca theologia (ancient Knowledge). Ancient mystical mathematics of music, geometry and arithmetic became prominent in Renaissance Hermetism. This atmosphere of Hermetic learning pervaded the Spanish Court, affecting even Philip II himself, and Villalpando’s In Ezechielem Explanationes was a product of this atmosphere.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:42:57 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:31789 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:42:51 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:15849 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:24:14 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:15634 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:23:44 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:15580 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:20:15 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:10540 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:10:18 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:20706 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:06:20 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:21842 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:06:20 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:21841 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:06:20 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:17507 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:04:04 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:17385 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:01:31 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:21785 True Stories, the utopian motivation for his journey is clear.

On this account I put aboard a good store of provisions, stowed water enough […] and put my boat […] in trim for a long and difficult voyage." This passage evokes both the mythopoetic conventions of classic utopian fiction and of the early Twentieth Century modernist utopia. In this latter tradition, images of transport and escape were used to support the argument for a new technological rationalism.

The writing of Mechanization Takes Command coincided with a turning point in Giedion’s thinking which began to question the role of technology within society as well as the moral implications this had for human experience (and the body). In rejecting a number of founding principles of modernism (and CIAM), the paper will demonstrate how the work intersects with broader concerns of the historical avant-garde, as well as dramatising the subject of architectural history in an original and methodical way. This exposition of a new historical subject, glimpsed through the ‘magical mirror’ of history, is of ongoing significance (and concern) to the concrete histories of modernism in architecture. As will be argued, Giedion presents this subject in crisis—divided and invaded by the path of mechanisation in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The paper makes a case that, through this realisation, Mechanization Takes Command has an affiliation with the primary concerns of the historical avantgarde, and can be tied to the theories that supported them.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:50:26 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:27761 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:40:50 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:27659 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:38:50 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:27805 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:37:24 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:27803 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:37:23 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:29044 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:37:17 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:28389 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:36:01 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:28390 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:36:00 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:31111 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:35:07 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:27619 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:34:27 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:29020 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:31:08 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:30210 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:31:04 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:28979 September sun, Sydney Cove, a restless vision of light and water suggesting a place of shimmering significance.
