How does Architecture Distribute the Sensible? : Engaging Jacques Ranciere
Jacques Rancière is one of the leading thinkers not only of contemporary aesthetic theory but contemporary philosophy in general.After his break from Althusser, Rancière developed the radical and axiomatic principal of the absolute equality of intelligences and capacities that defined his entire body of work, from his critique of philosophy, to his historical studies of emancipated modes of labor and education, to the articulation of dissensus from the order of the police.Rancière’s trajectory as a philosopher led him towards aesthetics where offered a radical reinterpretation of the political meaning of aesthetics and with it, of modernism and postmodernism that, having shaken the world of art, is now shaking the world of architecture.This book brings Jacques Rancière’s demand for equality and his reformulation of aesthetics into direct dialogue with architecture.In doing so, it inquires into the role that architecture plays in distributing the sensible, in creating aesthetic experiences, in creating order or dissensus, in serving as a mode of critique, and in emancipating or stultifying its users and subjects.Through this detailed exchange between Rancière and four of the world’s leading architectural thinkers; Anthony Vidler, Joan Ockman, Peggy Deamer and Michael Young, a debate unfolds within the book that tests the implications of Rancière’s aesthetic philosophy for architectural practice today; questioning the way we write architectural history, how architects draw, what the labor of the architect is, and that questions key architectural ideas such as the distribution, function, use, ornament, discipline and design.

Creative Design in Industry and Architecture
Covering the topics of architecture and industrial design Creative Design in Industry and Architecture argues that the discourse on design criteria for both professions share many similarities.It is not intended to be prescriptive, but is rather the outcome of a detailed design analysis of the works of a number of industrial and architectural designers.The authors sought to compare the cultural outcomes of vernacular design in an attempt to show that the design process does not need to be difficult or complicated.This book seeks to present a critical assessment of design processes which achieve innovation in the fields of both architectural and industrial disciplines.The book is therefore about creativity, design strategies and innovative understanding.With decades of academic experience, the authors are keen on the idea that creativity can be taught.They wrote this book from an ongoing pedagogical need to show students that the creative palette has a wide range.Case studies and their related theory which support this view are included within the chapters.The book also unveils the design dilemma; how design can become complicated when surrounded with intricate problems although it is the sum of simple solutions. Common theories and practices are exposed within the two disciplines through observation, analysis, experiment and reflection to discuss and gain insight.Both creative and practical approaches are analysed by making a historical study followed by the fundamentals reflecting the current situation and practical applications of the architectural and industrial design principles outlined in an extensive collection of examples.To educators this book is instructive, to the students deductive, to designers inspiring.

Which is more beautiful: modern architecture or traditional architecture?
Beauty is subjective and can be found in both modern and traditional architecture. Modern architecture often features sleek lines, innovative materials, and cutting-edge design, while traditional architecture often showcases intricate details, historical significance, and cultural heritage. Both styles have their own unique charm and appeal, and the beauty of each ultimately depends on individual preferences and the context in which they are presented. Ultimately, the beauty of architecture lies in its ability to evoke emotion, inspire creativity, and enhance the built environment.

On the other hand, police are responsible for maintaining law and order, ensuring public safety, and upholding justice. Both are essential components of a functioning society, with architecture providing the physical infrastructure and police providing the social infrastructure.

Why does old German architecture look better than modern architecture?
Old German architecture is often considered more aesthetically pleasing than modern architecture due to its intricate details, craftsmanship, and historical significance. The use of traditional materials such as timber, stone, and intricate carvings give old German buildings a sense of timelessness and charm. Additionally, the preservation of these historic buildings allows us to appreciate the architectural styles and techniques of the past, which may be lacking in modern designs that prioritize functionality and efficiency over ornate details.

What is the difference between biomorphic architecture and sculptural architecture?
Biomorphic architecture is characterized by organic, flowing forms that are inspired by natural shapes and patterns, often resembling plants, animals, or other natural elements. This type of architecture often incorporates curves, asymmetry, and fluid lines to create a sense of movement and dynamism. On the other hand, sculptural architecture focuses on creating bold, expressive forms that are often abstract and geometric in nature. This type of architecture often emphasizes the interplay of light and shadow to create dramatic visual effects, and it may incorporate sharp angles, clean lines, and strong volumes. While both biomorphic and sculptural architecture prioritize innovative and unconventional forms, biomorphic architecture draws inspiration from nature, while sculptural architecture focuses on creating striking, artistic shapes.
