With a retrospective look at Bloomer's work as a point of departure, scholars from a variety of different fields explore his contributions to the history of ornament as both a social and an artistic phenomenon. Through the lens of Bloomer's groundbreaking oeuvre, 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.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Sunil Bald </b>is associate dean and professor adjunct at the Yale School of Architecture. <b>Gary Huafan He </b>is a researcher (tenure-track) at Zhejiang University School of Art and Archaeology in Hangzhou, China.</p>
