Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Hardcover. Designed for Life: Architecture and design in Cork city, 1900-90 is the first detailed study of twentieth century design dedicated to an Irish provincial city and sets the standard for examining this fascinating period. Whilst the political and military history of Cork have been exhaustively studied, the physical changes to the city have largely been ignored, and little published on the houses, pubs, factories and other quotidian buildings where its people spent their lives. Whilst focusing on buildings, the book also includes examples of interior design, graphic design and corporate identity.Though a few notable buildings (the Modern masterpiece of the church of Christ the King, and the 1915 Celtic Revival Honan Chapel) have been explored, the design history of the city has only been briefly investigated. In the absence of extensive detailed, well-referenced and solid research, the twentieth century architectural patrimony of the city has been largely left to fend for itself, with the result that many important buildings have been demolished or insensitively altered. The book consists of an Introduction setting the scene for the place of design in Ireland and Cork in the twentieth century and a Conclusion which questions the city's self-identification as 'The Rebel City'. The remaining ten chapters are arranged chronologically with each focusing on a different building typology. As well as exploring the design of the city, this book aims to do three other things. By presenting the social and design history of the city it will raise awareness of the value and uniqueness of what remains, promoting a pride in the urban realm. Secondly, it is intended that it will spur the curiosity of other researchers, both amateur and professional, to study the field further, picking up the threads laid down here. Finally, it will provide reliable data which can be used by those seeking to protect and restore surviving buildings to their former glory. Whilst the military history of Cork city has been exhaustively studied, the physical development has largely been ignored. Designed for Life: Architecture and Design in Cork City, 1900-90 is the first detailed study of twentieth century design dedicated to an Irish provincial city and sets the standard for examining this fascinating period.
