Explanations of the key words

2008-05-29T00:21:00.000-07:00

Bohemianism:
The term bohemian, of French origin, was first used in the English language in the nineteenth century to describe the untraditional lifestyles of marginalized and impoverished artists, writers, musicians, and actors in major European cities. Bohemians were associated with unorthodox or antiestablishment political or social viewpoints, which were often expressed through non-marital sexual relations, frugality, and/or "voluntary poverty".

The term emerged in France in the 1800s when artists and creators began to concentrate in the lower-rent, lower class gypsy neighborhoods. The term "Bohemian" reflects a belief, widely held in France at the time, that the Gypsies had come from Bohemia. (Definition)

"The term 'Bohemian' has come to be very commonly accepted in our day as the description of a certain kind of literary gypsy, no matter in what language he speaks, or what city he inhabits .... A Bohemian is simply an artist or litterateur (intellectual) who, consciously or unconsciously, secedes from conventionality in life and in art."

English writer Virginia Nicholson’s work systematically analyzed the Bohemian lifestyle led by a broad and diverse wave of artists, writers and musicians over the early- to mid-twentieth century, showing that they were indeed unified via a set of commonly-held attitudes towards money, sex and relationships, child-rearing, beauty, clothing and personal presentation, cuisine, personal cleanliness, travel, and social mores. (Influences of Bohemianism)

The term has become associated with various artistic or academic communities and is used as a generalized adjective describing such people, environs, or situations: bohemian (boho—informal) is defined in The American College Dictionary as "a person with artistic or intellectual tendencies, who lives and acts with no regard for conventional rules of behavior."

Laren Stover breaks down the Bohemian into five distinct mind-sets/styles in Bohemian Manifesto: A Field Guide to Living on the Edge. The five types are: Nouveau, Gypsy, Beat, Zen and Dandy. (Classification of Bohemianism)

Bohemian:
a person, as an artist or writer, who lives acts free of regard for conventional rules and practices, or pertaining to or characteristic of the unconventional life of a bohemian, or living a wandering or vagabond life, as a Gypsy.

Contemporary art:
Contemporary art can be defined variously as art produced at this present point in time or art produced since World War II. The definition of the word contemporary would support the first view, but museums of contemporary art commonly define their collections as consisting of art produced since World War II.

Narritive and Key words

2008-05-29T00:18:00.000-07:00

Narritive: A container for a young bohemian, with artistic talent living, working and studying to and throughout his/her adulthood.

Key Words: transformation, transition, bohemian.

Inspiration from the chosen artists

2008-05-29T00:13:00.001-07:00

Both of my chosen artists are focusing on the transition from a teenage to an adult. It seems that both of them were experiencing the bohemian culture influences. It is important to emphasise the notion of bohemian culture in to my design programme. It is not only because of the chosen site was fulfilled with bohemian atmosphere, but also because bohemian is something different from the rest of the world. It is a culture which lives and acts with no regard for conventional rules of behaviour. It is similar to these teenage who are insouciant. Then they feel the change from teen into an adult when they get older. Like what Ryan McGinley he is already 30 years old. But he feels that he is still on that stage. ‘When you’re 18, everything’s great,’ he says, ‘but as you gets older. Things become harder. You have to pay bills, take care of things. You realise you’re an adult.’ An adult, that is, who is just getting started. The underground will be set into dark to emphasis these young bohemians lifestyle. The wall at one end of the space will be curved; it lets the natural light gets into the space gradually. It reinforces the idea of the transition. At the ground level, the part which has the street view will be designed as selling space. The rest will be separated into two. One is for a small gallery to exhibit these most popular arts work during one period. The other will be set as courtyard for exhibiting sculptures and outdoor parties. One third of the yard will be covered by the building above. The main circulation of the building will be made into two parts. Both of them have a common starting point, where the beginning of the small gallery near the back yard is. This system will be consisted by a centre stair case and long ramp stairs at the side. It references to Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye. Also they provide different experience of the building. Also it separates the visitors into two different journeys. The upper spaces will be designed like these silk strips interacted with each other in order to achieve these lifestyles which are set with no regard for conventional rules of behaviour. But on the other hand, it follows the linear plan of the whole area.

Ryan McGinley

2008-05-29T00:04:00.000-07:00

Ryan McGinley (born 1977) is an artist photographer from New York City whose works are somewhat similar to certain confessional photographers like Nan Goldin, Larry Clark, and Wolfgang Tillmans.

His subjects include mostly color images of friends and lovers, as well as youth more so on the 'fringes' of society (e.g., Skateboarders, graffiti writers, etc.)

As of 2006, his works have been seen in many galleries and museums. At 24 he was the youngest artist to have a solo show in New York's Whitney Museum of American Art. He has also had solo shows at New York's PS1 and in Spain at the MUSAC in Leon. He is represented by Team Gallery in New York.

His apartment, at one point, had its walls covered with Polaroid pictures of everyone who had ever visited him.

In 2007 he was awarded the Young Photographer Infinity award by the International Center for Photography.

In 2008 Icelandic rock group Sigur Ros decided to use one of Ryan's images for their album "með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust"
‘When you’re 18, everything’s great,’ he says, ‘but as you gets older. Things become harder. You have to pay bills, take care of things. You realise you’re an adult.’ An adult, that is, who is just getting started.

Bill Henson

2008-05-28T23:52:00.000-07:00

Bill Henson:
"Henson's elegant formal photographs - of battered landscapes and fragile, wispy youths - resemble nothing so much as Flemish still-life; rarely has colour photography captured so profoundly the furry texture of night time." - THE NEW YOKER, 2004

Henson's artworks reflect his interest in the interval of teenagers and adults. The use of chiaroscuro is common throughout his works. His photos are highly painterly and are often presented in the style of diptychs, triptychs and other specific groupings.

Henson's works often meditate on the categories and relationships of male and female; youth and adulthood; day and night; light and dark; nature and civilization. His photographs are often flattened and abstracted. The faces of the subjects are often blurred or partly shadowed and positioned not directly towards the audience.

Henson presents “adolescents in their states of despair, intoxication and immature ribaldry”. He has said that these “moments of transition and metamorphoses are important in everyone’s lives”

Henson's intention is to use photography for creative expression. He states that he is not interested in a political or sociological agenda, although the viewer cannot help but relate his works to their own stance on these issues. Henson, however, is not intending his photographs to be authoritative evidence but rather to suggest endless possibilities and cause people to wonder.

Site Analysis

2008-05-25T08:34:00.000-07:00

Suburb Analysis:
Newtown is a suburb in the Inner West of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Newtown is located approximately 4 kilometers south-west of the Sydney central business district and lies across the local government areas of the City of Sydney and Marrickville Council.

Since the 1840s, when the Newtown area began to change from a rural to a commercial and residential landscape, it has been home to a very diverse community, which is evidenced by the styles of domestic architecture. The few remaining houses of the 1830s and 1940s range from "Golden Grove" on Forbes Street to tiny and austere "working-men's" cottages in Hordern Street. This trend of class diversity was to continue and expanded into cultural diversity in the mid 20th century with post-war migration bringing hundreds of European migrants to the area.

King Street is the main street of Newtown and centre of commercial and entertainment activity. It is the main shopping strip of Newtown; also it is the longest and most complete commercial precinct of the late Victorian and Federation period in Australia. King Street is often referred to as "Eat Street" in the media due to the large number of cafés, pubs and restaurants.

Key words: Cultural Diversity.

Facade Analysis: The facade of this block (Starts from Brown St to Whateley St) has an arts deco manner, that is, flat surfaces with rich classical ornaments. It mainly consists of three storey heritage buildings and a few two storey buildings, interweaving with one another, with a constant change in height. Even the overhangs reflect this change. It is lower at the Brown St end, then become higher in the middle, and then lowers at Whateley St End. Also in the middle part of this facade, it is noticeable that there are two relatively low buildings surround by a few high buildings. Even the vivid colours of each building let them to be distinguishing between each other, also preserve a bohemian ambience.

Address: No. 214 – 216, King St, Newtown, 2042, NSW.

Nearest Parking Place: On Church St, behind Westpac Bank.

Nearest Bus Stop: 10m

Nearest park: Camperdown Memorial Rest Park.

Orientation Analysis: My site is on the east side of King St, generally facing north, approximately 45 degree northwest. The front façade will get natural lighting from approximately 10am-11am in the morning till 5pm-6pm in the afternoon.

Surrounding buildings: At the corner where Brown St intercepts with King St, there is a takeaway restaurant and a Vodafone retailer. On the other side, there is a Watershed shop and a restaurant named Twelve.

Narrative, Design principles and Materials

2008-04-26T20:44:00.002-07:00

Narrative: A shelter for an old, deaf artist only with one brush for painting.

Design principles inspired from the painting:
As the project outline described, this project is to design a container for a certain activity. Maybe it is for a group of people maybe for a single person. My design will follow Vermeer’s idea which is a sense of hidden intentions. Art and architecture are very similar. Vermeer’s Art of painting can be suggestive; also the architectural design will be meaningful. Some architectural elements won’t be directly indicated. Instead they will be indirectly represented to the audiences. On the other hand the building itself can speak, it not only speaks out its own function as a building, but also tells the story of the people activate in this building. According to my narrative, the building will be consisted with a few studios provide different view, and centre gallery and a tower. People can visit the building gallery, and it will provide a sense of uncertainty. Similar to Vermeer’s painting, different people will have their own interpretation of the building itself. And the building itself will be a contradiction. Same as the artist, old, deaf and only one brush, it is uncompleted also unperfected, but somehow he is perfect, it is because he is rich in his mind, he has rich imagination.

Key words:
Order, Contradiction, incomplete, imperfect, Symbolism, Allegory.

Materials: Concrete, glass, timber.

Explanations of the materials chosen: Concrete and glass will be functioned as the building veneers, timber truss and beam will act as the main structure component, some cases concrete with steal structure will appear in the building design as well.

Architectural interpretation

2008-04-26T20:44:00.001-07:00

The painting is well ordered. The chair in the foreground, the heavy theatre curtain, the table and the Dutch map on the background, all of them provide a sense of space. It layered the drawing into different distances in order to emphasize the spatial relationship. The Vertical cracks on the map, chairs, diagonal pattern marble floor and the horizontal beams at the top of the drawing are strongly contrasted. Also the heavy curtain and white texture on the artist’s cloth balanced with the coming light from the hidden windows on the right hand side. All of above reinforces the importance of order in the art work. Also this is unquestionably the most dense of Vermeer’s works in terms of hidden intentions. He himself gave it the tile The Art of Painting and what we have is a kind of personal interpretation, or confession, or reading his art and himself.

Interpretation

2008-04-26T20:43:00.000-07:00

This painting describe an ordinary event happened in an artist’s studio. But it is meaningful, suggestive and allegorical. There are two figures appear in the drawing. The artist dressed fancifully. It indicates his occupation as an artist. On the other hand, nothing here is reminiscent of a studio: there is no palette, no paint, no tools of the trade’s except the brush and the mahl-stick. Thus the painter – often taken as being Vermeer himself - is wearing timeless clothes and working in a timeless place, a theatre set. Referring to his new premises in 1661’s work, he was directly concerned with the architectural and decorative choices involved and wanted painting to be given real symbolic emphasis. He decided not to show himself a work in his studio, but to create a kind of Allegory of painting – or more simply. Vermeer's source is a reference in Cesare Ripa's Iconology. Rpia describes Clio as ‘a maiden with a laurel garland, who holes a trumpet in her right hand and with the left a book.’ Hence every single object appears in the picture is suggestive. The fat book is doubtless a “lives of the artists”, the laurel wreath and the trumpet may well symbolize Fame and the book History; for Vermeer these emblems were part of the painter destiny. Also the atmosphere is one of utter serenity and peace as Vermeer gives his lesion in wisdom: painting is not a frenetic business, and should jolt neither the eye nor the mind.

The description of the art work

2008-04-26T20:42:00.000-07:00

The painting describes a story of a painter is drawing a young lady who wears a crown of laurel leaves and holds her trumpet and book. She stands motionless, her downcast eyes turned towards an oak table, on which there are large manuscript book and some drapes and an oversized mask, the edge of which is just visible on the left of the detail shown.

The long-haired artist, who turns his head to study his model, probably represents Vermeer. He is wearing a floppy velvet beret, slitted jacket and breeches, very similar to the fanciful attire worn by the grinning observer in The Procuress.

The picture should not be regarded as a literal depiction of an artist’s studio; the elegant room has few signs of the clutter that would be expected there. A brush, barely visible, and a maulstick are shown, but there is no sign of any paints, although presumably there is a palette hidden behind the artist’s left shoulder. It is curious that the artist should begin the figure by painting the laurel wreath, rather than the face; also, a maulstick would normally be unnecessary when there was litter paint on the canvas. All this is a reminder that The Art of Painting is an allegory.

About my design

2007-10-26T08:14:00.000-07:00

There are three different series of spaces consistent throughout the whole building. Long ramps, staircases, and studios are within the space designed for the first client, Carlos Slim Helu. Carlos gained power by owning many different businesses, there’s a sense of monopoly within the Mexico because of this. There is a large room above several small working spaces, this is to represent the power Carlos has over smaller businesses in Mexico. The transparent glass allows him to see everything from his office, giving the sense that he watches over everything. The stair case is constructed by light weight concrete slab and used metal string as a major supporting system. The cables go through the whole staircase, this reflects that his power goes through all of his business.
It’s hard to do buy a product within Mexico without it being associated with Carlos Slim, this is represented by the ramp used. It is a really long ramp. Once you begin to walk through the ramp, you are forced in a way to see it through to the end. This is a metaphor for the marketing in Mexico, everything is owned by Carlos Slim and there is no escaping it, much like there is no escaping the ramp for Carlos Slim. There is one Elevator for his space, this is to emphasize the Monopoly in Mexico under Carlos Slim.

By comparison, Zhang Yin's power is gentler than Carlos. She has senses of fairness, she is wise, savvy, and ambitious. In order to express her power, I decide to use light construction to create her office. Her office is located the bottom of the whole building. It has one level and another studio which connects to one of the elevators. The bottem part of her space suggests that she doesn’t like to show her power over her employees. The light construction also reflects her business, Recycle paper. There are two elevators connect to Zhang Yin's office. It suggests that she is smart; she knows how to use different ways to achieve her goals.

The meeting room consists of a lot of different spaces. But all the stair and elevator lead you into one single room. It shows that both of their businesses take time to establish it, and it didn’t happen over night.

The building was constructed with concrete, providing a sense of heaviness. The table and chairs were designed in an opposite way to the whole building. The dinning table and chair are light structures, clearly showing everything in a single detail. It suggests that under their power there is nothing that can be hidden. Here are my general concepts of my design for Experiment 3. My design principles are based on the basic L shapes and gradually figure out the function of each space and the junction between these spaces.

Ratan Tata

One of the most well-known and respected industrialists in India, Ratan Tata, is the Chairman of the Tata Group. Born on December 28, 1937, in Mumbai, he suffered as a child because his parents separated when he was very young. He was brought up by his grandmother Lady Navajbai and did his schooling in Mumbai. He graduated with a degree in Architecture and Structural Engineering from Cornell University and joined his family business. He was sent to Jamshedpur to work at Tata Steel. He was appointed the Director-in-Charge of The National Radio & Electronics Company Limited (Nelco) in 1971 and was successful in turning Nelco around.

In 1981, he became the Chairman of Tata Industries and was instrumental in ushering in a wide array of reforms. It was under his stewardship that Tata Consultancy Services went public and Tata Motors was listed in the New York Stock Exchange.

He was awarded the Padma Bhushan by the Government of India in January 2000. He serves on the boards of several leading organizations, both in the public as well as the private sector in India. He is a member of the International Investment Council set up by the President of South Africa and serves on the programme board of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's India AIDS initiative.

He is credited with leading the Tatas' successful bid for Corus- an Anglo-Dutch steel and aluminum producer, which was acquired by Tata Sons for an estimated £6.7 billion in January 2007.

Article: Once Upon a Time in Norte America: The Rise of Carlos Slim

Quotes:
Do you own a PC or a Mac? If you own a Mac, do you trust Bill Gates? The very fact that you can own a Mac allows you to rest a little easier even while knowing that Bill Gates is the richest man in the world. Do you like Coke? No? Well then, at least there's Pepsi.

If you're a Mexican citizen, Carlos Slim is Microsoft, Apple, Coke, Pepsi and GM all rolled into one. In spite of all of Slim's charitable contributions, Mexico's working class just doesn't trust him.

In a country where the power of wealth is controlled by a relatively few tight-nit grupos, all of which together are known as "The 100 Families", the largest monopoly by far is controlled by Carlos Slim.

China's 'Queen of Trash' finds riches in waste paper

Quotes:
"When her employees asked for a pay raise, she would grant it if it was reasonable," he recalled. "But when her employees made mistakes, she would criticize them severely. She made it clear when to reward and when to punish."

Analysts say Zhang's ebullient personality made her a great saleswoman and a savvy deal maker.

There were occasional threats from competitors, but being a woman was not a problem, Zhang said.

"Actually, I didn't find it difficult," she said. "I found men respected me."

She has not lost her ambition, though. Sometimes called the Queen of Trash, she doesn't disown the title. But, she said, "Some day, I'd like to be known as the queen of containerboards."

"I think one's feelings waste themselves in words; they ought all to be distilled into actions which bring results." - Florence Nightingale

"I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road." - Stephen Hawkins

The first quote talks about the fact which is actions bring results. The second quote provides the notion of 'indetermin' and 'uncontrol'.

"Electroliquid Aggregation":
