Abstract:

Abstract- After the Indonesian people declared Independence on 17 August 1945, Ir. Soekarno had a modern vision and mission, namely that architecture could become a symbol of strength and power in a state. Therefore, various monumental building projects emerged, especially in Indonesia’s capital Jakarta. One of these was the Pola building in Jakarta, a work of architecture designed by F. Silaban. The Pola building was actually constructed on top of Ir. Soekarno’s former house and functioned as an exhibition space to display Overall Projects Planned for the First Eight Years 1961-1969 (PSBPTP). The purpose of this study is to find out more about the architectural monumentality encountered in this research, to examine the concrete shape of the expression of this monumentality in the Pola building, and to determine the geometric elements, supporting the creation of this expression in this particular building. The research methods consist of the descriptive method, the analytical method and the interpretative method through the analysis of the physical and spatial data related to the observation of the building activities; interviews held with the building manager and the study made of the background literature on the object of study. The theory concerning architectural monumentality, the theory dealing with principles of arrangement (lay-out), the theory of geometrical elements and finally the theory concerning archetypes have been used to analyze the physical construction data regarding their monumentality. The conclusion that may be drawn from this research is that the monumentality observed in the Pola building can be gleaned from the geometrical elements shaped like a striped rectangle as the composing element that contributes to its monumentality with its repetitive lay-out showing a static and balanced rhythm. The benefit of this research lies in the hope that it may make a positive contribution to the development of scientific knowledge in the field of architecture., and especially modern architecture in whose field this research has focused on the monumentality of buildings designed in the modern architectural style based on the physical condition of the building in question.

RResumenComo contrapunto al monumentalismo tradicional en la enseñanza de las obras matemáticas, la teoría antropológica de lo didáctico (TAD) propone el paradigma del cuestionamiento del mundo, siendo los recorridos de estudio e investigación (REI) los dispositivos que propone para implementarlo en las instituciones escolares. Sin embargo, esta implantación del nuevo paradigma encuentra restricciones, en particular de índole metodológica. En el presente trabajo presentamos una propuesta para posibilitar la supervivencia de los REI en una institución con una metodología basada en el aprendizaje cooperativo, y analizamos cómo los REI y el aprendizaje cooperativo pueden complementarse.Palabras-clave: Teoría Antropológica de lo didáctico, Recorridos de estudio e investigación, aprendizaje cooperativo.AbstractThe Anthropological Theory of the Didactic proposes the paradigm of questioning the world as the counterpoint for the traditional monumentalism when teaching mathematical works. In order to introduce the new paradigm in school institutions, the TAD proposes the study and research paths (SRP). Nevertheless, there exist restrictions which complicates the implementation of this new paradigm, particularly of methodological nature. In this paper, we present a proposal which makes it possible the survival of the SRP in an institution whose methodology is based on cooperative learning, and we analyse how SRP and cooperative learning can complement each other.Keywords: Anthropological Theory of didactics, Study and research tours, cooperative learning.

Abstract:

Lúcio Costa proposes an urbs and a civitas in his winning entry for the Brasilia competition (1957). The new seat of citizenship was to celebrate the March to the West dreamt by Brazilian Independence’s Patriarch José Bonifácio (1823) - who named the new capital - and taken up by president Juscelino Kubitschek (1955) - who promised fifty years of progress in five. Brasilia was to be a machine for remembering past, present and future hopes. Therefore, it had to be a memorable object itself, composed of memorable elements; differentiation from context counted in all levels. Like Costa, Oscar Niemeyer knew that common monumental features included volumetric simplicity, unusual size, scale or shape and extraordinary richness, as shown by his Palácio da Alvorada, the presidential residence (1956).

Abstract:

Abstract This article examines the role that monumentality—and efforts to critique it—have played in shaping the experience of public space in post-socialist Albania. It considers artistic and architectural strategies often labeled ‘counter-monumental’ because they were first developed as a way to challenge authoritarian and nationalist monumental structures from the past, and it argues that in Albania these counter-monumental strategies have become wedded to centralized state power. In the conditions of neoliberal capitalism, projects that aim to undo traditional monumentality can effectively obfuscate political agendas. In Albania, where Edi Rama—the current Prime Minister—is also a practicing artist, the discourses of contemporary art have served to increase the centralization of political authority, and the work of architecture and design firms such as the Brussels-based group 51N4E have reinforced the symbolic power of the state at the same time that they claim to open public spaces up for citizen participation.

Abstract:

Abstract- Lawang Sewu is a historic cultural heritage building that became one of the leading tourist attractionsin Semarang City. The building that was built in 1904 and completed in 1918 has experienced some changes infunction and ownership. Lawang Sewu was originally the administrative office of Nederlands-Indische SpoorwegMaatschappij (NIS). NIS is a private company engaged in the field of railways. Lawang Sewu also witnessed the5 days battle in Semarang that occurred on 14 to19 August 1949. It was marked by the location of Tugu MudaMonument located on the west side of Lawang Sewu. Apart from the historical side, spatial relationships betweenLawang Sewu and Tugu Muda Monument in the area, making the building of the former NIS office is significant.Architecturally, the significance can be explained in the context of the monumentality of the building.The Monumentality of Lawang Sewu is explained gradually from several aspects. First, an architecturalobject can be monumental seen from the link between architecture and monument. Second, the historical andcultural dynamics attached to the building. Third, the building relationship with the surrounding environment andits architectural character. Referring to the concept of architectural monumentality enclosed by YoshinobuAshihara and Louis Kahn, monumentality is described based on the image of the singularity of buildings thatarise from its relationship with the surrounding environment and the quality of the atmosphere of space formedfrom building elements.As an architectural object, Lawang Sewu has the required value in the definition of monuments andmonumental properties. These values include aspects of history, technology, architecture, and culture. Not onlyhas monumental values, Lawang Sewu also experienced the dynamics of changing the meaning of monuments asdescribed in the Nine Points on Monumentality. In addition, Lawang Sewu is a building inherent in the collectivememory of society. This is evidenced from the name Lawang Sewu which is actually a nickname. In thearchitectural context, Lawang Sewu is able to show the monumental value of its unique impression on Tugu MudaMonument Area. Then, both the architectural elements and the structures seen in the atmosphere of space inLawang Sewu able to convey the image of a certain period. Elements of buildings with economic value and hightechnological updates also form the value of Lawang Sewu monumentality.Key Words: significance, monumentality, history, culture, Lawang Sewu, railway

Abstract:

Few subjects have excited the imagination of archaeologists working in ancient complex societies as have monumentality and urban planning. Yet the two topics are rarely explicitly theorized in a sustained integrated investigation within a single study, despite the fact that monumental architecture is often considered a primary basis for identifying the presence of urban planning. This article makes the related methodological arguments that both phenomena benefit from a more full consideration of one another, and that the meaningful aspect of monumentality and urban symbology needs to be considered in conjunction with the formal aspect of monuments and urban layouts. These positions are then implemented in a study of the Syro-Anatolian city-state system that existed in the ancient Near East during the early first millennium bc. The capital cities of these polities were characterized by a program of monumentality that brought royalty, city walls, gates and monumental sculpture into an unmistakable constellation of associations. The consistency of this pattern of monumentality and urban form suggests that at least a degree of urban planning existed.

Abstract:

The urban design for Brasilia emphasizes the role of the city as a capital, that is to say, as an expression of State identity and power. Lúcio Costa considered monumentality as a characteristic inherent in urbanism, but this should not be achieved by any ostentatious grandiosity in terms of the volumes and sizes designed, and rather by providing a more singular external expression in the building concept used incorporating nature, capable of both pleasing and moving their occupants. The dimension of monumentality is a fundamental question in understanding the urban solution adopted in Brasilia.

Using excavation and radiocarbon dating, the authors show that construction of megalithic pillar sites begins in eastern Africa by the fifth millennium BP, and is contemporary with the earliest herding in the region. Mobile herders and/or hunter-gatherers built and used these sites in a dynamic context of economic and social change. We are more familiar with monumentality as an adjunct of cereal cultivators—but this study demonstrates a relationship between early herding and monuments, with clear relevance to pre-cultivation monumentality of very much earlier periods elsewhere.

Abstract:

The music topic of "apotheosis" is examined in the context of Liszt's artistic biography. While the effect of the final apotheosis is familiar as a standard procedure in his symphonic poems, a prominent critical strand suggests that the overwhelming effect of the apotheosis may merely conceal a fundamental vacuity. Nietzsche in particular develops an incisive critique of this kind of monumentality, which he links with a historiographic model of what he calls "monumental history." Nietzsche's historical model is probed against an episode from Liszt's career, in which the apotheosis topic first entered his orchestral music: the Cantata for the inauguration of the Bonn Beethoven monument (1845). In this cantata, Liszt chooses a quotation from Beethoven's "Archduke" Trio for the apotheosis. In this way, the cantata pits a musical kind of monumentality against the physical Beethoven movement, not dissimilar from attempts by Schumann and Jean Paul to theorize nineteenth-century monumentality. Moreover, with this "secular sanctus" Liszt forges an artistic link between the dead composer and himself. This episode, by means of which Liszt succeeded in consolidating his fame as Beethoven's rightful heir, turns out to be crucial for his subsequent career when he settled in Weimar as a self-consciously great composer (and wrote his symphonic poems). The events surrounding Liszt's engagement in the Beethoven monument are used as an exemplar of a notion of nineteenth-century musical monumentality that thrives on the interplay between the musical structure, the events amid which the performance took place, and the biographical background of the (genius-)composer.

Abstract:

Monuments have been a staple of archaeology since the beginning of the discipline and have been used as case-studies for a diverse range of topics. In recent years, monuments have been considered particularly often in studies of social memory. By materializing memorial ambitions, however, the creation of monuments provides a venue for collective memories to be challenged. Despite their outward appearance of strength and permanence, monuments additionally render the memory of their creators vulnerable and open to contestation. In particular, the practice of counter-monumentality, or active and deliberate interventions in traditional monuments, illustrates how the erection of monuments exposes the inherent fragility of memory. Examples from the present and the past demonstrate these points: a statue of Confederate generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson in Baltimore, Maryland, and a corpus of monumental statues from southeastern Anatolian and northern Syria during the Iron Age.

Abstract:

Historians are more likely to examine monumental buildings as finished products than as processes of construction. Chicago's Auditorium Building was monumentality itself: upon completion in 1890 it was the largest edifice in the United States, and an exceptionally elegant one. Though often discussed as a work of art, an urban icon, and a measure of regional accomplishment, it has yet to be considered as a nexus of social relations. For monument appraisal tends to overlook the role of labor – including its relations with capital – that is not only inherent to the construction process, but that in this instance also affected Chicago's future. It was precisely the Auditorium's monumentality that prompted local trade unions to develop new tactics that yielded unprecedented results.

Abstract:

Monumental architecture is a prime indicator of social complexity, because it requires many people to build a conspicuous structure commemorating shared beliefs. Examining monumentality in different environmental and economic settings can reveal diverse reasons for people to form larger social units and express unity through architectural display. In multiple areas of Africa, monumentality developed as mobile herders created large cemeteries and practiced other forms of commemoration. The motives for such behavior in sparsely populated, unpredictable landscapes may differ from well-studied cases of monumentality in predictable environments with sedentary populations. Here we report excavations and ground-penetrating radar surveys at the earliest and most massive monumental site in eastern Africa. Lothagam North Pillar Site was a communal cemetery near Lake Turkana (northwest Kenya) constructed 5,000 years ago by eastern Africa’s earliest pastoralists. Inside a platform ringed by boulders, a 119.5-m2mortuary cavity accommodated an estimated minimum of 580 individuals. People of diverse ages and both sexes were buried, and ornaments accompanied most individuals. There is no evidence for social stratification. The uncertainties of living on a “moving frontier” of early herding—exacerbated by dramatic environmental shifts—may have spurred people to strengthen social networks that could provide information and assistance. Lothagam North Pillar Site would have served as both an arena for interaction and a tangible reminder of shared identity.

Abstract:

This article investigates the idea that sometimes artworks become strange monuments: occasionally to themselves. It begins with an overview of how various artworks have taken on aspects of monumentality, setting up a number of coordinates for thought ‐ energy, appropriation, fiction, resurrection and so on. It then turns to the contested status of Rachel Whiteread’s House (1993), paying attention to the ways in which its potential to endure as a conventional public monument was denied, leaving behind a strange set of digital monuments in its afterlife. It goes on to contrast the tomb-like preservation of Roger Hiorns’ Seizure ([2008] 2013) at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park with the rhetoric surrounding its initial staging in Southwark. This logic of preservation is compared with how Thomas Hirschhorn has revisited his early monument works, and his claims regarding their eternal life.

Abstract:

This article examines the tradition of punitive house demolition during the Roman Republic, but from a sociocultural rather than institutional-legal perspective. Exploiting recent scholarship on the Roman house, on exemplarity, and on memory sanctions, I argue that narratives of house demolition constitute a form of ethically inflected political discourse, whose purpose is to stigmatize certain social actors as malefactors of a particular sort (“aspiration to kingship” being the central instance). The demolition itself is symbolically resonant, and the resultant stigma is propagated by subsequent monuments—various structures, toponyms, narratives, etc.—that attach to the housesite. These monuments are thought to bear the trace of what went before, hence transmit an account of the alleged malefactor's deed and disgrace. Far from obliterating the doer of misdeeds, then, the discourse of punitive house demolition fixes him in cultural memory as a negative exemplum.

Abstract:

Archaeological studies of the material and historical conditions of life have in recent years stimulated discussion of the relationality of people and material culture. Engagement with the material world is one context in which senses of personhood and identity emerge and are transformed. People and materiality are interanimated in the more or less transient events and actions of daily life. Personhood and the material world are loaded with sense and made meaningful through citation and reanimation of cultural values and tradition. This contribution discusses the contingent and possibly transient senses of personhood that may have been constituted in some specific material and historical circumstances relating to early Neolithic monuments in southern Britain. A case study focuses on the relationality of people, animals, earth, stone, architecture and material culture.
