Da arqueologia à arquitetura: história e memória gay a partir da série “Hollywood”

O artigo aborda a história e a memória das pessoas gays a partir da série “Hollywood” (2020). De cunho hermenêutico, a interpretação do objeto de análise parte da reflexão sobre comunicação, temporalidades, história, sonhos e sua relação com a obra de arte. Para tanto, interroga a cronologia dos fatos ligados à história da homossexualidade e sua relação com o imaginário gay, considerando o parâmetro temporal e o estético, para compreender a narrativa em sua dimensão factual e fictícia, amparando-se nas contribuições de Foucault (2007), Freud (2006) e Latour (2019). Como resultado, ressalta a temporalidade diferenciada da obra de arte e sua contribuição para a construção identitária dos gays.From archeology to architecture: history and gay memory from the “Hollywood” seriesAbstractThe article addresses the history and memory of gay people from the series “Hollywood” (2020).

UKRAINIAN ACADEMY OF ARCHITECTURE: HISTORY, PROFITS AND LOSSES, EXPECTATIONS AND PROSPECTS

An attempt has been made to outline in a historical and chronological way the main features, achievements and problems of the Academy of Architecture in Ukraine, from 1945 to the present. These are the Academy of Architecture of the USSR, transformed in 1945 from the Ukrainian branch of the Academy of Architecture of the USSR (1944), the Academy of Civil Engineering and Architecture of the USSR, transformed from the Academy of Architecture in 1955, the liquidation of this Academy in 1963, the restoration of the Academy in 1992. year in the status of the Ukrainian Academy of Architecture. Based on the involvement of little-known factual material outlines the activities and practical and theoretical guidelines of the five presidents of the Academy of Architecture - Vladimir Zabolotny (1945-1955), Anatoly Komar (1955-1959), Pavel Bakuma (1959-1963), Valentyn Shtolko (1992–2020), Oleg Sleptsov (since September 2021), as well as the peculiarities of actual achievements and radiant delusions of lost perspectives, unfulfilled desires and urgent needs of the architectural and architectural shops of Ukraine during the last almost eighty years. Among other things, the achievements of the Academy on the way of researching the architectural heritage of Ukraine, the care of V. Zabolotny for research in this area are shown; highlights the dynamics of transformation of candidate dissertations in architecture from design and descriptive to the actual scientific, as they are now; the range of problems that accompanied the Ukrainian Academy of Architecture after its restoration in 1992 is depicted, as well as the vastness of important scientific and creative achievements of its academics and corresponding members, in particular in the field of publishing basic scientific works; finally, for the first time, it is proposed to illustrate the general picture of the formation and formation of the forms of activity of the Academy of Architecture during its existence; the prospects of further functioning are outlined and aspects of understanding the role of the Ukrainian Academy of Architecture in the modern architectural world, not only the Ukrainian one, are singled out.

What a Difference a Brick Makes? Transitions of Memory and Shanghai Shikumen Walls

This essay is intended as an appreciation of an overlooked element of Chinese material culture: discarded blue bricks from demolished shikumen houses in Shanghai. It contemplates the concept and materiality of a wall from a unique perspective, combining insights from Chinese architecture history and scholarly tradition of appreciating stones. Combining scientific and poetic approaches, the author argues that these bricks can be contemplated analogically to ink landscape paintings and famous Dali dreamstones. The author uses these clay objects as a starting point to reflect on the rapid transformation of Chinese cities and complex relationship between enduring tradition and ongoing modernization.

Globality in Teaching Art and Architectural History: A Case Study of the Glossary Assignment

In consideration of the research problem associated with the need for globality and inclusive vision in art and architecture history pedagogy, this research proposes an alternative research framework that entails the globality and inclusion of non-Western content in studying and teaching art and architecture history, as well as the use of interpretive-historical research methodology in conducting cross-cultural and comparative studies for a glossary assignment. This research provides a glossary assignment in which students conduct cross-cultural and comparative investigations of Western and non-Western art and architecture. The study approaches, tactics, and themes employed by students to do cross-cultural comparisons are systematically examined. Common glossary terms from conventional Western art and architecture history, namely, composite image, ziggurat, contrapposto, and still life, are critically used to demonstrate that they are universal and also existent in Southeast Asian art and architecture. Inductive rather than a priori analytical framework reveals new themes derived from cross-cultural comparisons. By juxtaposing original redrawn images of art and architecture from Western traditions and non-Western contexts, this research creates a significant visual impact on the usage of illustrations as tactics that transcend conventional maps and timelines. Application of the alternative study framework reveals the universality of the human desire to create art and architecture that transcends chronology and cultural boundaries.

A Review of ARM Processor Architecture History, Progress and Applications

Globally, over 50 billion ARM architecture based embedded chips of 32-bit and 64-bit instruction set architecture are commonly used and produced in quantity perspective since 2014. In our daily life most of the people uses and depends upon a penalty of electrical and automotive devices which have now become an essential part of their daily life. Due to that reason embedded processors are used to build such devices which takes less silicone-space, provides efficient processing and less power.
