Book Synopsis Building Santa Maria Novella by : Elizabeth Bradford Smith
Download or read book Building Santa Maria Novella written by Elizabeth Bradford Smith and published by L'Erma Di Bretschneider. This book was released on 2022-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acknowledged as influential within the context of late medieval architecture in Italy, the Dominican church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence has not attracted the substantive architectural study it deserves. The book re-envisions its building history, focusing on crucial stages in its creation: the original model commissioned in the 1270s, and the radical 14th-c. redesign of the nave. Analysis of previously unobserved features illuminates the creative process, enabling a firmer attribution of authorship and a new chronology for its groundbreaking vaulted nave.

Book excerpt: Leon Battista Alberti (1404-72) - writer, painter and sculptor, mathematician and, most famously, architectural theorist and architect - came closer than anyone to the Renaissance ideal of the 'complete man'.

This book was released on 2017-07-19 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dominican Church of Santa Maria Novella at Florence: A Historical, Architectural, and Artistic Study Thus then, Part I. Will be found devoted entirely to the earliest history of Santa Maria Novella. The subject here is one which has hardly been touched by any previous writer, and its details seemed remarkable enough to warrant the care and space which have been devoted to the compilation of a kind of Chronicle of the Church from its first establishment to the coming of the Friars. With the year 1221, however, began the history which, under many a vicissitude, has continued down to our own day. Here, of course, selection and compression became necessary; for much was already matter Of common knowledge, and more was tedious and insignificant. In Part II., therefore, I have restricted myself almost entirely to what seemed most noteworthy - the great building period of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries - and within these limits have given my chief attention to the bearing of certain little-known facts upon matters of general interest to all students of Florentine Art. In Part III. The original plan is resumed in a separate and detailed study of the Spanish Chapel. AS one of the Convent buildings it finds its own place and receives passing notice in Part II., but here in the final division of my work, I have felt the more free on this account to write both at large and in detail of that pictorial decoration which has drawn so many students hither, and made this place one of the chief shrines Of Tuscan Art. To furnish a coherent interpretation of these frescoes, as a whole, with reference to the leading ideas which inspire them such has been the final, as indeed it was the original, purpose of my studies.

Book Synopsis The Architecture of Rome by : Ulrich Fürst
Download or read book The Architecture of Rome written by Ulrich Fürst and published by Edition Axel Menges. This book was released on 1998 with total page 668 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Architects and artists have always acknowledged over the centuries that Rome is rightly called the 'eternal city'. Rome is eternal above all because it was always young, always 'in its prime'. Here the buildings that defined the West appeared over more than 2000 years, here the history of European architecture was written. The foundations were laid even in ancient Roman times, when the first attempts were made to design interiors and thus make space open to experience as something physical. And at that time the Roman architects also started to develop building types that are still valid today, thus creating the cornerstone of later Western architecture. In it Rome's primacy remained unbroken -- whether it was with old St Peter's as the first medieval basilica or new St. Peter's as the building in which Bramante and Michelangelo developed the High Renaissance, or with works by Bernini and Borromini whose rich and lucid spatial forms were to shape Baroque as far as Vienna, Bohemia and Lower Franconia, and also with Modern buildings, of which there are many unexpected pearls to be found in Rome. All this is comprehensible only if it is presented historically, i. e. in chronological sequence, and so the guide has not been arranged topographically as usual but chronologically.This means that one is not led in random sequence from a Baroque building to an ancient or a modern one, but the historical development is followed successively. Every epoch is preceded by an introduction that identifies its key features. This produces a continuous, lavishly illustrated history of the architecture of Rome -- and thus at the same time of the whole of the West. Practical handling is guaranteed by an alphabetical index and detailed maps, whose information does not just immediately illustrate the historical picture, but also makes it possible to choose a personal route through history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pyramids and the Taj Mahal are witness to the extravagant architectural tributes that, throughout human history, the great and the wealthy have paid to their dead. In this book, a well-known architectural historian provides a history of funerary architecture in western Europe from the earliest megalithic tombs of prehistory to the establishment of public cemeteries in the nineteenth century. With sensitivity and wit, Howard Colvin traces the ways in which these structures represent changing ideas about the after-life as well as changes in architectural style.

Book Synopsis A World History of Architecture by : Marian Moffett
Download or read book A World History of Architecture written by Marian Moffett and published by Laurence King Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Roman architect and engineer Vitruvius declared firmitas, utilitas, and venustas-firmness, commodity, and delight- to be the three essential attributes of architecture. These qualities are brilliantly explored in this book, which uniquely comprises both a detailed survey of Western architecture, including Pre-Columbian America, and an introduction to architecture from the Middle East, India, Russia, China, and Japan. The text encourages readers to examine closely the pragmatic, innovative, and aesthetic attributes of buildings, and to imagine how these would have been praised or criticized by contemporary observers. Artistic, economic, environmental, political, social, and technological contexts are discussed so as to determine the extent to which buildings met the needs of clients, society at large, and future generations.

Book Synopsis The Routledge Companion to Italian Fascist Architecture by : Kay Bea Jones
Download or read book The Routledge Companion to Italian Fascist Architecture written by Kay Bea Jones and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-04-30 with total page 693 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, nearly a century after the National Fascist Party came to power in Italy, questions about the built legacy of the regime provoke polemics among architects and scholars. Mussolini’s government constructed thousands of new buildings across the Italian Peninsula and islands and in colonial territories. From hospitals, post offices and stadia to housing, summer camps, Fascist Party Headquarters, ceremonial spaces, roads, railways and bridges, the physical traces of the regime have a presence in nearly every Italian town. The Routledge Companion to Italian Fascist Architecture investigates what has become of the architectural and urban projects of Italian fascism, how sites have been transformed or adapted and what constitutes the meaning of these buildings and cities today. The essays include a rich array of new arguments by both senior and early career scholars from Italy and beyond. They examine the reception of fascist architecture through studies of destruction and adaptation, debates over reuse, artistic interventions and even routine daily practices, which may slowly alter collective understandings of such places. Paolo Portoghesi sheds light on the subject from his internal perspective, while Harald Bodenschatz situates Italy among period totalitarian authorities and their symbols across Europe. Section editors frame, synthesize and moderate essays that explore fascism’s afterlife; how the physical legacy of the regime has been altered and preserved and what it means now. This critical history of interpretations of fascist-era architecture and urban projects broadens our understanding of the relationships among politics, identity, memory and place. This companion will be of interest to students and scholars in a range of fields, including Italian history, architectural history, cultural studies, visual sociology, political science and art history.
