How to build a house - An architectural novelette

Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc

Beschreibung

In "How to Build a House," Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc offers a meticulous exploration of architectural principles intertwined with practical guidance for the aspiring builder. This seminal work is written in a clear, didactic style, reflecting the author's deep appreciation for both theoretical foundations and hands-on skill. Viollet-le-Duc's narrative weaves together historical references with innovative techniques, reflecting the spirit of the mid-19th century—a period marked by a burgeoning interest in Gothic revival and structural integrity. Each chapter serves not only as a guide but as a philosophical discourse on the relationship between humans and their built environment, infusing the manual with an artistic sensibility that elevates the act of construction to an almost spiritual vocation. As a pioneering architect and a key figure in the Gothic revival movement, Viollet-le-Duc's works were profoundly influenced by his scholarly pursuits and practical experiences. His career was shaped by a desire to preserve and revitalize historical architecture while advocating for structural honesty and aesthetic beauty. This duality reflects in "How to Build a House," where he bridges tradition and progress, embodying his vision for a harmonious relationship between nature and architecture. For architects, builders, and enthusiasts alike, "How to Build a House" serves as an indispensable resource. Its combination of theoretical underpinnings with practical advice not only enriches the reader's understanding of architecture but also inspires a deeper appreciation for the craft of building. This book is essential for anyone engaged in the creation of meaningful spaces that reflect both functionality and artistic expression.

Showa Era - Empire War and the...

Rolf Hedger

The Showa Era began on December 25, 1926, with the ascension of Emperor Hirohito following the death of his father, Emperor Taisho. This period marked a critical turning point in Japan’s history, as the nation transitioned from the political turbulence of the Taisho democracy to a time of increasing militarism and nationalist sentiment. Although the early years of the Showa Era were characterized by economic struggles and political instability, they also set the stage for Japan’s dramatic expansion and eventual involvement in global conflict.
Emperor Hirohito’s rise to the throne was met with both hope and uncertainty. Many saw him as a symbol of continuity and strength, while others were concerned about the growing influence of the military in governmental affairs. Unlike his father, whose reign was defined by a parliamentary democracy, Hirohito’s early years as emperor witnessed the gradual erosion of democratic institutions. The shift toward a more authoritarian government was driven by widespread dissatisfaction with the parliamentary system and the belief that Japan needed strong leadership to navigate domestic and international challenges.
One of the most pressing issues Japan faced at the beginning of the Showa Era was economic instability. The global economy had already begun to weaken, and in 1929, the Wall Street Crash sent shockwaves through Japan’s financial system. The economic downturn led to mass unemployment, factory closures, and widespread poverty, exacerbating social tensions. Farmers, who made up a significant portion of Japan’s population, suffered greatly as the price of rice plummeted, leading to rural hardships that fueled growing resentment toward the government. In response, nationalist and ultraconservative factions gained popularity, advocating for territorial expansion as a means to secure resources and economic stability.
