  • a north sea school of architecture nidaros cathedral s romanesque transepts and north sea medieval architecture
    Journal of The North Atlantic, 2013
    Co-Authors: Candice Bogdanski
    Abstract:

    Abstract In 1152/3, Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim, Norway, became the center of a vast archiepiscopal authority reaching across the North Sea. The cathedral then became the site of much Architectural Activity, beginning with the addition of Romanesque transepts during the 1150s–1160s to the pre-existing church. This paper considers the patronal efforts of Nidaros' first and second archbishops, Jon Birgisson (1152/3–1160) and Oystein Erlendsson (1161–1188), in relation to this construction period. It examines the cathedral's influence on Norwegian architecture based on the relationship between the Nidaros stone workshop and contemporary Norwegian churches, including the geographically close Stiklestad and Old Sakshaug. Subsequently, it identifies related structures across the North Sea in England, such as Southwell Minster, York Minster, and Lincoln Cathedral, thus expanding on the concept of a “North Sea School of Architecture”, as briefly discussed by Eric Fernie on St. Magnus Church in Egilsay and Malc...

  • formation and development of technotopia as a concept of the figurative and stylistic direction of innovative Architectural Activity
    E3S Web of Conferences, 2021
    Co-Authors: Alexander Pleshivtsev, Tatiana Pakunova
    Abstract:

    Purpose: to analyze the modern display of utopian ideas in Architectural Activity for the development of innovative directions of organization and forming of the object environment, to identify and define the features of technotopia as a figurative and stylistic direction that combines idealistic and pragmatic principles in Architectural creativity. Methods and materials: empirical and theoretical methods of analogy and abstraction focused on analyzing the properties, possibilities and conditions that determine the features of utopian ideas displayed in Architectural creativity. A method of generalizing the experience of theoretical knowledge and development in the implementation of innovative technological solutions for Architectural objects. Results: A two-level structure of signs of utopia in Architectural creativity was developed. An algorithm for transforming ideas about an ideal world is proposed, taking into account the possibilities of practical implementation of technological priorities in Architectural Activity. The properties of technotopia as a figurative and stylistic direction characterizing the features of the practical implementation of technological priorities of Architectural Activity have been confirmed. Conclusions: The study of the nature of utopias is one of the key topics and opportunities for the development of promising figurative and stylistic directions in Architectural creativity. The fundamental idealistic (utopian) principle of Architectural creativity is capable of evolution through integration with the results and possibilities of technological progress of various fields of knowledge. Technological priorities in the organization of Architectural space make it possible to significantly expand the possibilities of traditional compositional techniques in solving applied and practical problems of Architectural Activity.

  • soft innovation economics product aesthetics and the creative industries
    2010
    Co-Authors: Paul Stoneman
    Abstract:

    At its heart this book is about innovation and the innovation process. On the way, it considers aesthetics, design, creativity and the creative industries, and a number of other similar topics. Much of the existing economic literature on innovation has taken a particularly technological or functional viewpoint as to what sort of new products and processes are to be considered innovations. One of the key points that this book highlights is that there is a type of innovation, here labelled 'soft innovation', primarily concerned with changes in products (and perhaps processes) of an aesthetic or intellectual nature, that has largely been ignored in the study of innovation prevalent in economics. Examples of innovations that, as a result of this refocusing, are here placed at the centre of the analysis include: the writing and publishing of a new book, the writing, production, and launching of a new movie, the development and launch of a new advertising promotion, the design and production of a new range of furniture, and Architectural Activity in the generation of new built form designs. The realisation of the existence of soft innovation means that, not only is innovation more widespread than previously considered, but that it may also take a different form than commonly considered. Soft Innovation addresses key issues such as: * The measurement of the rate and extent of soft innovation, * The determinants of the rate and direction of soft innovation and its diffusion, * The impacts of soft innovation and diffusion upon outputs, productivity, employment, firm performance, trade, and economic welfare, * Policy, considering whether there is a rationale for government intervention in the soft innovation generation and diffusion processes, and if so what instruments can be used in such intervention? Soft Innovation breaks new ground in the study of innovation, and will be key reading for academics and researchers of Innovation, Marketing, and Design, as well as consultants, practitioners, and policy-makers concerned with the creative industries.
