New technologies and new philosophical concepts have converted what was once wishful thinking and referred to disparagingly as 'paper ideas' into a world suddenly full of exciting architectural forms. Today, in the words of Wolf Prix, 'You can only succeed in architecture if you are doing visionary buildings in terms of programme, shape and structure. ' These new ideas, inspired also by science and the space industry, have filtered through to the worlds of business, sport, shopping and entertainment. This is not innovation for the sake of innovation but art and architecture based on carefully considered ideas that enhance and add visually to our experience of life today., London : New Architecture Group ; Amsterdam : Bis, 2003, 0, Istanbul: GSM, 2010.

"Ahmet Günestekin (born December 22, 1966 in Batman, Turkey) is a Turkish painter. He was born in the workers' camp at Garzan oil field in Batman, where his father was employed. He was the second youngest child of a seven children family. His passion for painting has been with him ever since his childhood. He was awarded his first prize in third grade when he was nine years old. His acquaintanceship with oil colors occurred at the same time, and in addition to this, his interest in literature appeared at this young age. Since that time, the artist has kept on working permanently. When he reached his high school years, he staged his first personal exhibition in the gallery at his school. Shortly after his graduation, he went on to study in the Faculty of Fine Arts at Mimar Sinan University in Istanbul. After a while he dropped out of this programme, but later went on to complete his graduate studies at the Anadolu University's Department of Management. For a period, he went into business, but soon returned to painting. In 1997, Günestekin established his first studio in Beyoglu and from there staged numerous personal and cooperative exhibitions. In the wake of his exhibition ¿Colors After Darkness¿, which he opened in 2003 iat Atatürk Cultural Center (AKM), he gradually began to release his name into the world of art. Through a great number of personal exhibitions, Günestekin¿s works of art now take their place in prestigious domestic and foreign collections. Ahmet Günestekin, whose signature of his great achievements is his distinctive language, has also attained great success in the design field. His art: Antique Modern While it exists as a definite and specific feature in modern art expression, form in post-modern times is observed and experienced as fragmented and imperceptible through a detached yet consecutive visual experience. Modern means: integrity, continuity, order, nature, form and, most importantly, simplicity. Post modern, on the other hand, is about pieces, disarray, detachedness, context, complexity and, most importantly, essence and ethnic culture. While modernism offers a unifying closed-circuit form mechanism, what is dominant in the art expression of the post-modern era is anti-form and a fragmented structure. (We designate the post-modern era as gaining clarity by 1990). The principles in a modern work of art can be listed as goal, distance, sovereignty, depiction of existence, metaphor, depth, interpretation, the designated, main code, narration, paranoia, the origin, metaphysics, and transcendence. What comes to the fore in the post-modern era, conversely, are characteristics like game, anarchy, process, puzzle, anti-thesis, nonexistence, disintegration, personal language (idiolect), irony, ambiguity, and immanence. From this perspective, Ahmet Günestekin's art expression bridges both the modern and post-modern approaches; whilst it harbors the modern characteristics and displays some features of the modern, and displays some features of the modern in terms of the space he reflects, it also offers a refuge for antique characteristics in terms of its themes. In actuality, Ahmet Günestekin, as an artist fascinated by the antique worlds, stands contrary to Modernism. However, the integrity and unity he reflects on the canvass are the principles of the modern work of art and they greet us as the most important principles that the artist gives the utmost importance to in composing his work. On the other hand, Ahmet Günestekin, who displays a completely post-modern attitude, also crosshatches the archetypes of the antique worlds, and transforms the ruptures of time - anachronisms - by greeting time perception, thereby transforming., GSM, 2010, 6, Birmingham: Ben Uri Gallery and Museum, 2003.

"Michael Rowe (b.1948) is regarded as one of the most significant figures in the development of contemporary applied art in Britain. His particular focus has been container and vessel forms, treated not only as geometrical structures but also as carriers of meaning. creative tension between geometry and poetry, between systematic visual enquiry and the joy in the working of metal are brought together in objects of a pure and compelling beauty. His investigations into the colouring and patination of metals have led him to create designs in which colour and texture are as defining as their form. publication offers a survey of his work, and should be of interest not only to academics, collectors and practitioners in the fields of silversmithing and metalwork, but to all those concerned with the development of the visual arts.

With clear, expert instruction and full-color, detailed anatomical drawings, Yoga Anatomy depicts the most common asanas to provide a deeper understanding of the structures and principles underlying each movement and of yoga itself. From breathing to standing poses, see how each muscle is used, how slight alterations of a pose can enhance or reduce effectiveness, and how the spine, breathing, and body position are all fundamentally linked. Whether you are just beginning your journey or have been practicing yoga for years, Yoga Anatomy will be an invaluable resource one that allows you to see each movement in an entirely new light. Author Leslie Kaminoff is a recognized expert and teacher in anatomy, breathing, and bodywork. He is the founder of The Breathing Project, New York City s premier yoga studio dedicated to the teaching of individualized, breath-centered yoga practice and therapy. Review: "This is an essential book for any serious student of yoga who delights in the details of asana." "Yoga Journal" - October 2007 "For a long time it was difficult to get anatomy books that were specifically designed for Yoga teachers. Anatomical textbooks were useful but did not help with questions directly related to Yoga. After 2003, however, a row of books was published that addressed Yoga anatomy. Then, in the spring of this year, L. Kaminoff's "Yoga Anatomy "was published. Like other books, it is very helpful because it shows the use of specific muscles in certain poses. Unlike other books it also addresses questions of joint action, muscles working and lengthening, obstacles, breathing, and variations. For a slim (and not very expensive) book, the author has been able to compress a lot of information into a concise, clear, and instructive format. I have found "Yoga Anatomy "to be a very helpful resource book, and I rarely prepare a class without consulting it." Oda Lindner -- a YAA certified Yoga teacher November 2007 edition of "Bridge," (the publication of the Yoga Association of Alberta, Canada) "Plenty of books outline the fundamentals of yoga, but how many provide an illustrated anatomical guide to postures, movements and breathing techniques which blends anatomy with yoga moves? "Yoga Anatomy" offers a visual approach that allows learners to see how all the muscles interact during various poses. Chapters survey joint actions, poses, and how yoga helps various conditions. Any library strong in yoga or new age will find this anatomical approach specific and invaluable." Diane C. Donovan's "California Bookwatch" "Interesting Reading on a Difficult Subject, January 3, 2008" Yoga Anatomy ("is the best book I have purchased on the subject. I have been practicing Yoga for about 33 years and teaching some classes during the 33 years. The illustrations are clear, concise and to the point for the asanas demonstrated. The book is well-written and interesting. I recommend it to all Yoga Teachers and serious Yogis. I am registered to teach certification, if I pursue this," Yoga Anatomy "by Leslie Kaminoff will be one of the textbooks used in my class. Thank you for such a wonderful book on "Yoga Anatomy.", Human Kinetics Publishers, 2007, 0<
