This book demonstrates how architecture can be visually conveyed despite historical uncertainty. It is an architectural contribution to resolving the dilemma that historical representations, in order to be vivid, often consist of pure fantasy. The method presented here translates archaeological hypotheses from words into images. As a result, the outcome is scientifically sound, even if it frequently involves analogical reasoning. This ambiguity is conveyed through the abstraction of the model. Thus, it is not the built structure itself but its concept that is depictedand so clearly that misunderstandings are minimized. This transforms our perception of lost architecture. Instead of a glorified, romanticized past, it is conveyed as a timeless message.Henner Hesberg was a professor of Classical Archaeology in Munich and Cologne and director of the German Archaeological Institute in Rome. He has been emeritus since 2014. His research focuses on Greek and Roman architecture and the cultural history of Hellenism.Dominik Lengyel holds the Chair of Architecture and Visualization at the BTU Cottbus. He is a member of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts in Salzburg and the Koldewey Society, as well as a corresponding member of the German Archaeological Institute.Catherine Toulouse is an architect and founding partner of Lengyel Toulouse Architekten Berlin. She is a long-standing academic staff member at the BTU Cottbus and a former member of the City of Colognes Design Advisory Board. Previously, she worked at the architectural firm of Prof. O.M. Ungers.

A bestseller in Japan, a remarkable reflection on making art, living life, and accepting death, from the legendary Ryuichi Sakamoto, the world-renowned musical genius and godfather of electronic music.One of Japans most influential artists and composers, Ryuichi Sakamoto was a man of multitudes. Perhaps best known as the Oscar-winning composer of Bernardo Bertoluccis The Last Emperor and a founder of the groundbreaking electronic music group Yellow Magic Orchestra, Sakamoto was a pop icon, an avant-garde visionary, a techno innovator, and a proud environmentalist. While his unique brilliance transcended mediums as well as borders, Sakamoto himself was curious about how he came to be the complex phenomenon known as "Ryuichi Sakamotoa journey to answer the question, "Why do I lead this life?"Filled with candid photos, Music Sets You Free is the incredible chronicle of a life excitingly lived: an intimate, contemplative, and fascinating recounting of his life story as a musical journey, from his first childhood encounter with a piano to his rise as a global pop star and award-winning composer. Sakamotos boundless curiosity led to myriad experiences: producing catchy yet experimental hits with YMO, starring with David Bowie in Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, collaborating with pop geniuses such as David Byrne, Iggy Pop, and Brian Wilson, appearing in a Madonna music video, and even modeling for the Gap.Throughout his career, Sakamoto was also a dedicated social activist, avidly protesting nuclear power in the wake of the Fukushima disaster, and restoring a tsunami-damaged piano for his 2017 album async. While the pain of surgeries and treatments left him both emotionally and physically vulnerable in his later life, Sakamoto pushed through the pain to record his final artistic evolution into more avant-garde work after a transformative trip to Greenland during which he witnessed the effects of global warming first-hand.Music Sets You Free is both a self-reflective testament and thought-provoking meditation on life, mortality, and the enduring power of art. It is the memoir of a visionary whose life and work embodied the aphorism Ars Longa, Vita Brevis (Art is long, life is short). The final published work from a creative genius, it is a rare and lasting performance in words that beautifully accompanies Sakamotos eternal, moving performances in music.Translated from the Japanese by Sam Bett

This radical reappraisal of human history will change the way you look at the past. In this expansive yet abridged volume, academic pariah and pseudo-historian Fin Taylor re-writes the human story, from the Big Bang to the Second Plane (minus all the stuff we can skip in between).Interest in history is at an all time high, but in the midst of this panicked gold rush my fellow academics have lost sight of why. What is it about the past that sets pulses racing? Is it really the structural homophobia of Victorian Architecture? Or is it the exploits of a tub-thumping madman with medals strapped to his chest?This ground-breaking and entirely unsupervised work argues we have been indoctrinated with an incorrect view of past events. Is 1066 really important? Or is it, in fact, really boring? Maybe the Battle of Hastings is just inspiration for the Francospheres largest tea towel? Is the Renaissance significant or was it just Italians learning how to draw?Its time to restore order, to revision the revisionists, to re-colonise the curriculum. Its time for a brave anti-intellectual to meet the intellectuals head on. Because what is history but entertainment for middle-aged men looking to escape the drudgery of their own domesticity. From Henry VIII to Hitler via Cromwell, Caligula and The Anglo-Zulu War, this is a historical PhD gone rogue.
