Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Decorative Part of Civil Architecture: With Illustrations, Notes, and an Examination of Grecian Architecture Since the time of sir william chambers very great changes have come over both architectural theory and practice. For a while ultra-greek, or what was passed off for and accepted as such, was in the ascendant, until its insufficiency to do more than give us the merest Oopyism, and the most wearisome repetition of the same forms and features, led to another vicissitude in a quite contrary direction. Gothic, for which the way had been prepared by antiquarian researches, studies, and publications, was welcomed as a change, and a further one has since taken place, an endeavour being now made to bring that style into. Vogue, and establish it as the most suitable one for secular as well as ecclesiastical buildings, and, moreover, to introduce into it much of quite foreign character. The result of such attempt remains to be seen; yet, even if successful, it can be so only partially, for hardly ever can our anglo-italian be discarded from practice in our secular architecture. Hardly can the study Of it be dispensed with were it regarded only as a matter of curiosity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from International Library of Technology: History of Architecture and Ornament First, the geographical influence, which determines the mode of living, and the means of communication and transportation. Second, the geological influence, which determines the quality of the buildings, as the presence or the absence of building stone, clay, or wood will determine whether the buildings shall be of stone, brick, or timber. Third, the climatic influence, which determines the character of the buildings themselves, the size of their windows, and the projection and inclination of the roofs. As, for instance, in tropical countries, under the glaring sun, it is desirable to have small windows and dark, cool interiors, with projecting cornices that will shade the sides of the building from the vertical rays of the midday sun; whereas, in cold countries the roof must be steep to shed the rain and snow, and the windows large to admit the sunshine. Fourth, the religious influence, which will affect the habits and customs of the people. Fifth, the political influence, as the system of government will reflect the manners and temperaments of the influential portion of the nation.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 996 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The enduring influence of the architect Gottfried Semper (1803-1879) derives primarily from his monumental theoretical foray Der Stil in der technischen und tektonischen Künsten (1860-62), here translated into English for the first time. A richly illustrated survey of the technical arts (textiles, ceramics, carpentry, masonry), Semper's analysis of the preconditions of style forever changed the interpretative context for aesthetics, architecture, and art history. Style, Semper believed, should be governed by historical function, cultural affinities, creative free will, and the innate properties of each medium. Thus, in an ambitious attempt to turn nineteenth-century artistic discussion away from historicism, aestheticism, and materialism, Semper developed in Der Stil a complex picture of stylistic change based on scrutiny of specific objects and a remarkable grasp of cultural variety. Harry Francis Mallgrave's introductory essay offers an account of Semper's life and work, a survey of Der Stil, and a fresh consideration of Semper's landmark study and its lasting significance.

This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume translates and examines a rare conspectus of architectural and decorative taste published at the very end of the eighteenth century. Baron Joseph Friedrich zu Racknitz’s pioneering Presentation and History of the Taste of the Leading Nations in Relation to the Interior Decoration of Rooms and to Architecture (Darstellung und Geschichte des Geschmacks der vorzüglichsten Völker in Beziehung auf die innere Auszierung der Zimmer und auf die Baukunst) is little known today. Racknitz, a German aristocrat, traced an early global history of design and ornament through discussions of what he distinguished as twenty-four regional historical tastes. He included a diverse group of ancient classical civilizations, European nations and peoples, Eastern civilizations, and more exotic reaches of the world. This sensitive and informed translation by Simon Swynfen Jervis includes reproductions of the original color plates and essays on Racknitz’s biography, his publication, and the deeper German Enlightenment context, making this an essential volume for eighteenth- and nineteenth-century architecture, decorative arts, and garden design.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic Ornament: Treatise on Decorative Art and Architectural Ornament; Treats of Prehistoric Art, Ancient Art and Architecture, Eastern, Early Christian, Byzantine, Saracenic, Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance Architecture and Ornament T HE comprehensive nature of the subject of this work renders it impossible to deal with its various divisions and sub-divisions, except in a very condensed manner, within the limits of a handbook for students. I have endeavoured to present to the reader, and to the student of ornamental and decorative art, some of the salient features which characterize the historic styles of ornament, and those that seem to me to show themselves as landmarks in the wide domain of Historic Ornament. Realistic decoration was the earliest form of all art, as we find it in the etchings on the bones drawn by the pre historic cave-dwellers; but ornamental design or pattern drawing is a kind of invention which implies the orderly decoration of architectural forms and other objects, and is generally applied to such objects with the View of adding some enrichment that shall make them more pleasing to the sight. The former belongs more to pictorial art, while the latter is purely decorative. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Neglected Architectural Decoration from the Late Antique City written by Solinda Kamani and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-10-20 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines neglected architectural decoration from the late antique city of the East Mediterranean. It addresses the omission in scholarship of discussion about the embellishment of non-monumental secular buildings (public porticoes, small public baths, shops/workshops, and non-elite houses). The finishing of these structures has been overlooked at the expense of more lofty buildings and remains one of the least known aspects of the late antique city. The author surveys the archaeological evidence for decoration in the region, with the maritime sites of Ostia and Ephesus selected as case studies. Drawing upon archaeological, written, and visual sources, it attempts to reconstruct how such buildings appeared to late antique viewers and investigates why they were decorated as they were.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Decorative Elements in Architecture: Random Observations on the Eternal Fitness of Things From a Decorative Point of View In less degenerate days, it was the pleasure of the well-conditioned class to encourage the arts and belles lettres by attaching to one's person artists and poets who painted and sang for the greater glory of the age. We are alas far from that golden era, and wealth to-day is used to purchase old masters and not develop new ones. The term "patron of the arts" has been abused, and too often it has meant, as Samuel Johnson so aptly put it, "one who looks with unconcern on a man struggling for life in the water and when he has reached ground encumbers him with help." To have found one for whom to patronize has meant to help and encourage in the hour when help and encouragement were sorely needed, is therefor to have found something rare and infinitely precious. The inspiration which I have derived from patronage of this character impels me to dedicate this modest volume to you. So I, "that love the old Augustan days Of formal courtesies and formal phrase" make public acknowledgment of my debt. If aught that I have done merits to live beyond the brief hour for which it was wrought, it will be because my hand was guided by your good taste.
