涂鸦艺术大师凯斯·哈林作品探析

凯斯·哈林是20世纪80年代美国涂鸦艺术的代表人物,他创造了平面化的涂鸦风格,以流畅、粗犷的黑色线条来勾勒简单的图形,并赋予这些线条、图形以有声的力量;运用夸张的补色对比来展现图形的层次,呈现出他想要表达的内涵;选择用一种与传统透视绘画方法背道而驰的平面化方式,以概括的手法、抽象的图形来表现各种主题,并继而表达自我。凯斯·哈林的作品以一种非同一般的、小众的艺术方式来表达自己,却得到了大众的传递,从而实现了其艺术大众化的理想。

100 Year City (Maribor): The Virtual Concourse Reframed

For interactivity, the virtual world so often relies on a physical component, but how might virtual spaces be made more tangible as spatial environments for exchange? Under the direction of architect and RMIT University professor Tom Kovac, in 2012 the 100 Year City project rose to this challenge as part of the Maribor European Capital of Culture programme. Here, Guest-Editor and Deputy Curator of the project, Fleur Watson , describes how this ‘super studio’ incites cross-disciplinary exchange and the sharing of progressive design ideas for sustainable blueprints for our cities. It is an initiative that is to be continued under Kovac's directorship with the 100 Year City-themed Malaysian Biennale in the summer of 2015.     

Learning in Newbern: Rural Studio in Year Ten

Amidst the regulated and increasingly fraught business of architectural practice, particularly within its homestead of the town of Newbern, Hale County, Alabama, Rural Studio has entered its second decade as a force to contradict normative modes of architectural education and practice. In the coming years, we will see if the wider consequences triggered by this innovative organisation will take root elsewhere. In the meantime, John Forney 's reflective examination of its roots substantiates the condition that, in times of change, the periphery is a place that matters greatly.

Designing for an Earlier Age

While the need for suitable housing to accommodate burgeoning numbers of elderly citizens is undeniably great worldwide, Jayne Merkel puts the case that the necessity for affordable housing among young adults is arguably even greater, at least in the US and the UK, and particularly in New York, London and Los Angeles. The relationship between the demands of these two very different age groups is direct, since young people tend not to have children until they can find suitable housing. Forestalled childbearing means fewer members of later generations to financially support growing numbers of aged over time.¹ And young people without suitable housing tend to move back in with ageing parents or drain their financial resources.
