    Zaha Hadid była jedną ze star-architektów, starając się w swoich bardzo licznych projektach i realizacjach spełniać misję poszukiwania nowych kształtów, niejednokrotnie szokując ekstrawaganckimi formami nie mieszczącymi się w tradycyjnym pojmowaniu otaczającej nas rzeczywistości. Autorka artykułu przedstawia propozycję podziału jej twórczości na trzy tendencje: inspirację konstruktywizmem, biomorfizmem, ekspresjonizmem.Zaha Hadid was a starchitect, trying to fulfil the mission of pursuing new shapes in her many designs and projects, often shocking others with extravagant forms that were unthinkable in the traditional understanding of our reality. The author of this paper presents a proposal of dividing her work into three tendencies: an inspiration with Constructivism, Biomorphism and Expressionism

    Rysunek architektoniczny zawsze był domena rzemiosła architektów, pozwalająca na swobodę w twórczości projektowej. Szkic pozwala na przełożenie myśli architekta na papier w formie przestrzennej, w sposób pozwalający zrozumieć tę ideę w jej końcowym efekcie, jakim jest projekt architektoniczny. Treść, a także myśl autora są zatem całkowicie ujawnione poprzez kolejne koncepcje. Le Corbusier tworzący w XX wieku, a także Zaha Hadid projektująca w XXI wieku, to doskonałe przykłady architektów prezentujących projekt architektoniczny poprzez szkic w procesie twórczym.Architectural Drawing has always been the domain of architects craft, allowing for flexibility in design creativity. Sketch allows the architect to submit ideas on paper in the form of planning, in a way to understand this idea in its final effect which is the architectural design. The content, as well as the author thought it is therefore completely disclosed by subsequent concepts. Le Corbusier forming in the twenty century, Zaha Hadid and the designer of the twenty-first century, are a perfect example of the presentation of architectural design, with a drawing in the creative process

    Bronze Age microliths at Saruq al-Hadid, Dubai

    Excavations at Saruq al-Hadid, Dubai, have recovered a large assemblage of stone artefacts, including backed microliths, from a dense midden of animal bone deposited during the mid-second millennium BC. Stoneworkers at Saruq al-Hadid combined simple core reduction methods with sophisticated backing techniques to produce the microliths. Unstandardized flake blanks were backed directly, or were truncated into segments which were subsequently backed. The final stage of backing was carefully controlled and was probably accomplished using a pressure technique; the backed surface on many microliths is distinctively domed in profile. Most microliths are asymmetrical in shape and many display a distinctive scalene triangle morphology. The microliths probably functioned as armatures for arrows, although other functions are possible. Here we contextualize microlith production at Saruq al-Hadid through a review of late prehistoric microlith traditions in south-eastern Arabia and neighbouring regions of Asia and Africa. This raises intriguing but unresolved issues related to preceding technological traditions, cultural connections, and group identity

    Greeks in Ptolemaic Egypt: inter-cultural influences in Naukratis

    No full text
    This study analyzes the interactions between Greek colonists and native Egyptians at the site of Naukratis through the material remains found there. Initial excavations by Petrie and Gardener are discussed as well as recent ones by Coulson and Leonard. This study aims to understand any change in material use of household goods by the Egyptians and Greeks living in the city by comparing them to a paradigm of typical Egyptian goods at the time
