Kent Bloomer Nature as Ornament by Sunil Bald and Gary Huafan He A comprehensive exploration of renowned sculptor Kent Bloomer's work, examining the role of ornament in contemporary architecture and society. This volume reorients the discourse of ornament from a contentious vestige of modernity toward its active relationship to architecture, landscape, urbanism, and a sense of place. Bloomer's oeuvre has had a profound impact on various disciplines, including history, music, art, philosophy, and biology. Through a retrospective look at his work, scholars from diverse fields explore his contributions to the history of ornament as both a social and artistic phenomenon. The book is distributed for Yale School of Architecture. Paperback, 215 pages.
