The Choreography of Environments (eBook, ePUB)

How the Anna and Lawrence Halprin Home Transformed Contemporary Dance and Urban Design

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Choreography of Environments traces how the objects and architectural features of our homes and gardens shape who we are. Specifically, this book focuses on the 1950s iconic mid-century modern home and gardens of urban designer Lawrence Halprin and dancer Anna Halprin as a hidden archive. It explores four objects from their house and gardens - staircase, deck, chair, and window --to trace how, despite the conservative postwar climate, this intimate domestic space became a radical laboratory reshaping postmodern dance invention urban design and their expansion into civic, social, and environmental awareness in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
