Review: Modern Coliseum: Stadiums and American Culture, by Benjamin D. Lisle and Architecture on Ice: A History of the Hockey Arena, by Howard Shubert

For most of the twentieth century, it was the preserve of builders and engineers far more than of architects. Indeed, the most prolific designer of stadia, not just in those years but perhaps ever, Archibald Leitch, was trained, depending on your historical research, as either a mechanical engineer or a “factory architect.”1 In the past century, the stadium generally was regarded as a project of modest architectural but specific commercial ambitions (with some rare, but notable, exceptions). Much has changed recently, owing to circumstances largely exogenous to design per se but central to the powerhouse role that sports play in the economies of cities around the world. In our present moment, a stadium is likely the single largest, most technologically complex, and, perhaps most important, expensive building in any given city. In addition to large, corporate-structured firms well known for their stadium designs (Populous, HKS, GMP Architekten, AECOM), there are now Pritzker Prize–winning architects (Herzog & de Meuron, Zaha Hadid Architects, Eduardo Souto de Moura, Peter Eisenman, RCR Arquitectes) designing stadia, often more than one. This transformation is global in scope, with novel, formally ambitious, and bespoke projects going up not just in the former stadia redoubts of Europe and the Americas but in East Asia, Africa, and nearly everywhere else as well. And yet, in spite of the scale, cost, and complexity of stadia, architectural historians have largely ignored them. Simon Inglis, author of two definitive guides to stadia in Great Britain and Europe, commented on this lack of attention more than three decades ago, noting that Nikolaus Pevsner's “multi-volumed Buildings of England , the most comprehensive survey of British architecture ever accomplished, mentions only two grounds in passing—Wembley and Hillsborough.”2 …

Review: The New Tenement: Residences in the Inner City since 1970, by Florian Urban

Florian Urban The New Tenement: Residences in the Inner City since 1970 Abingdon, England: Routledge, 2018, 310 pp., 329 color illus. $59.95 (paper), ISBN 9781138224469 During the mid-twentieth century, a strong tendency toward state intervention in the urban built environment prevailed across northwestern Europe. This was channeled chiefly through the two linked mechanisms of city planning and social housing production. During the first three decades following World War II, dubbed les Trente Glorieuses in France, a modernist consensus favoring the opening out of congested cities, and the separating out of their different functions, was established. The most ubiquitous of these functions was mass housing, which in those decades was generally built according to modernist principles and mass-produced along “Fordist” lines. Individual nation-states and large cities drove these programs forward. Thus, far from being crushingly homogeneous, as later claimed by critics, postwar mass housing was bewilderingly diverse, both in its organization and in its built form. In Britain, for example, urban planning often took a radical, surgical approach, and mass housing was overwhelmingly built by municipalities; in Denmark, meanwhile, there was virtually no slum-clearance demolition, and social housing was decentralized by housing associations and cooperatives and built mainly on cities’ outskirts. Beginning in the late 1960s and 1970s, any general consensus regarding social housing began to dissolve, as citizens and professionals became increasingly discontented with what they viewed as mass housing's paternalism and disrespect of the once-despised nineteenth-century urban fabric, …

Kitaoka's Tomato: Two Simple Explanations Based on Information in the Stimulus.

Kitaoka’s Tomato is a color illusion in which a semitransparent blue-green field is placed on top of a red object (a tomato). The tomato appears red even though the pixels would appear green if viewed in isolation. We show that this phenomenon can be explained by a high-pass filter and by histogram equalization. The results suggest that this illusion does not require complex inferences about color constancy; rather, the tomato’s red is available in the physical stimulus at the appropriate spatial scale and dynamic range.

The Myth of Color Sensations, or How Not to See a Yellow Banana.

I argue against a class of philosophical views of color perception, especially insofar as such views posit the existence of color sensations. I argue against the need to posit such nonconceptual mental intermediaries between the stimulus and the eventual conceptualized perceptual judgment. Central to my arguments are considerations of certain color illusions. Such illusions are best explained by reference to high-level, conceptualized knowledge concerning, for example, object identity, likely lighting conditions, and material composition of the distal stimulus. Such explanations obviate the need to appeal to nonconceputal mental links in the causal chains eventuating in conceptualized color discriminations.

Mechanisms of color perception and cognition covered by #thedress

Color is notoriously ambiguousmany color illusions existbut until now it has been thought that all people with normal color vision experience color illusions the same way. How does the visual system resolve color ambiguity? Here, we present work that addresses this question by quantifying peoples perception of a particularly ambiguous image, the dress photograph. The colors of the individual pixels in the photograph when viewed in isolation are light-blue or brown, but popular accounts suggest the dress appears either white/gold or blue/black. We tested more than 1400 people, both on-line and under controlled laboratory conditions. Subjects first completed the sentence: this is a ___and___dress. Then they performed a color-matching experiment that did not depend on language. Surprisingly, the results uncovered three groups of subjects: white/gold observers, blue/black observers and blue/brown observers. Our findings show that the brain resolves ambiguity in the dress into one of three stable states&semi; a minority of people switched which colors they saw (~11%). It is clear that what we see depends on both retinal stimulation and internal knowledge about the world. Cases of multi-stability such as the dress provide a rare opportunity to investigate this interplay. In particular, we go on to demonstrate that the dress photograph can be used as a tool to discover that skin reflectance is a particularly important implicit cue used by the brain to estimate the color of the light source, to resolve color ambiguity, shedding light on the role of high-level cues in color perception.

Review: Juan Caramuel y la probable arquitectura, by Jorge Fernández-Santos Ortiz-Iribas

Jorge Fernandez-Santos Ortiz-Iribas Juan Caramuel y la probable arquitectura Madrid: Centro de Estudios Europa Hispanica, 2014, 591 pp., 114 color illus. €33.66, ISBN 9788415245353 This is a remarkable book on a remarkable individual and his work. In character with its subject, it is also erudite and ambitious, written by a scholar who has searched many archives and libraries and obviously has read widely in various languages and on many topics as he followed the travels and thoughts of Juan Caramuel y Lobkowitz (Madrid, 1606–Vigevano, Lombardy, 1682). Caramuel, who wrote books on subjects ranging from theology to mathematics, typography, and linguistics, is best known, especially among architectural historians, for his three volumes of Architectura civil, recta y obliqua (a fourth volume was never published and is lost), the focus of this publication. However, Caramuel and this treatise probably have not been understood so well in our times as they are in this volume. Caramuel was a Spanish subject at a time when that could signify many identities. His own identities had their origins in his having been born in Madrid, the son of a royal guard from Luxembourg at the court of Philip II and a Bohemian mother who was born in Antwerp. He studied at the Jesuit Colegio Real in Madrid and then at the University of Alcala. Before he reached the age of twenty, his religious vocation took him to the Cistercian monastery of Santa Maria de la Santa Espina at Castromonte (Valladolid) and to other monasteries in Castile. Always in the Spanish Habsburg sphere, he subsequently traveled to Flanders, the Palatinate, and Prague, then to Rome and the Spanish kingdom of Naples, and finally to Lombardy. Fernandez-Santos examines all of these movements in detail because he believes that they are key for understanding Caramuel, and especially the Architectura civil , published in Vigevano in 1678 …

Poseidon and the Sea: Myth, Cult, and Daily Life ed. by Seth D. Pevnick (review)

Reviewed by: Poseidon and the Sea: Myth, Cult, and Daily Life ed. by Seth D. Pevnick Carol C. Mattusch Seth D. Pevnick (ed.). Poseidon and the Sea: Myth, Cult, and Daily Life. London: D. Giles Ltd, 2014. Pp. 200, incl. 210 color illus. $49.95. ISBN 978–1-907804–30–4. Seth Pevnick proposed curating an exhibition about Poseidon for the Tampa Museum of Art because there is a fine marble sculpture of Poseidon/Neptune in that museum, and because Tampa itself is a port city (7). Besides Tampa (June 14–November 30, 2014), the exhibition traveled to the Joslyn Art Museum, Omaha, Nebraska (February 8–May 11, 2014). Of the 125 antiquities in the catalogue, four were lent by the Fondation Gandur pour l’Art in Geneva; seven by the Museo Nazionale Archeologico in Florence; eight by anonymous private collectors; and 106 by U.S. collections. The well-illustrated catalogue consists of seven essays and a checklist. In chapter 1, Pevnick explains that he has chosen both beautiful and functional objects, from images of Poseidon and “the creatures and activities that filled his realms” (13) to horse-head amphoras (cat. 51–53) and boat models (cat. 96–101). He discusses the earliest appearances of Poseidon in the sixth century bc, the god’s attributes, myths about him, his offspring, sea creatures, his cult, places of worship, tombs of sailors, and offerings—from 125 tiny lead fish (cat. 44: 3–8 cm long) to a huge bronze trident (cat. 43: 4.2 meters long). One type of votive offering that is not mentioned is the dedication of one’s hair or a representation of it to Poseidon after surviving a shipwreck, such as the British Museum’s inscribed relief with two braids between pilasters (inv. no. GR 1839.8–6.4), found by William Martin Leake at Boeotian Thebes in 1839. Erika Simon shows how “the sovereign of the sea and the earthshaker was bound to his Aegean surroundings, to that unique interpenetration of sea and land” (37), and notes references to Poseidon as Earthshaker on Linear B tablets, in Homer, and on the Penteskouphia plaques. In the Odyssey, bulls are sacrificed to Poseidon at Pylos and, in the Iliad, in the Panionion at Mykale. He was worshiped in a temple at Sounion; at Isthmia, where panhellenic games were held in his honor; at Paestum (named Poseidonia after him); and in Athens, Delphi, and Delos along with other gods. Simon believes that the bronze god from the Artemision shipwreck is Poseidon, an identification that is contested by many. Angeliki Kokkinou adds considerable information about Poseidon’s role at sea and on land. Offerings might be “displayed hanging from the sacred trees” (54) or deposited in the sea (55); one of the god’s epithets was Phykios (of Seaweed). The Posidea was celebrated in Ionian cities during the month of Posideon, the Poseidonia at Sounion. Fishhooks (cat. 88) might be dedicated after a good catch, and an Athenian trireme was named Trident. On land Poseidon was connected with horses, athletic events, bulls, fertility, and Demeter. [End Page 449] Although women dedicated jewelry to him, they might be excluded from participating in his ceremonies. His sanctuary on Kalauria (Poros) provided asylum, and Demosthenes fled there from Athens and committed suicide in 322 bc. Cults of Poseidon were associated with entrances to the underworld, and he was feared for his agency in storms, earthquakes, and tidal waves. The first three essays overlap in their focus on the iconography and worship of Poseidon, but then Nancy T. De Grummond takes us to Italy, to the Etruscan and Latin names Nethuns and Neptunus, Etruscan tridents, and the Italic god with a trident. In texts, Neptunus appears first at a feast called the lectisternium, “sharing a banqueting couch with Mercury” (70). Etruscan sanctuaries have not yielded offerings to Nethuns or a temple dedicated to him, but De Grummond reminds us that Nethuns appears on the Piacenza Liver, and in the Etruscan calendar known from the Zagreb Mummy Wrapping. She goes on to consider Neptune’s iconography throughout the empire, from Herculaneum to Spain to North Africa; “his final appearances in Roman antiquity show him gliding cheerfully...
