ebooks Cien antilde;os de cine argentino (Spanish Edition) by Fernando Pentilde;a in Arts-Photography

Description

With each successive style or movement; redundant forms and technologies are replaced and then re-enacted in the name of progress. Ideologies and fictions become forms. And then there is the stranger world still of actual replicas; such as Henry Fords Greenfield Village; where history is brought to life for didactic purposes. It cant help it; architectures deepest instinct is to repeat; whether its columns; ceiling tiles or twin towers. Ours is a landscape of cover versions; copy and paste; rinse and repeat. In this polemical but also quizzical essay; Sam Jacob probes the architectural condition and wonders whether its all just an attempt to make whats not real look real.
