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 Architecture for the Shroud by : John Beldon Scott
Download or read book Architecture for the Shroud written by John Beldon Scott and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2003-03 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The famed linen cloth preserved in Turin Cathedral has provoked pious devotion, scientific scrutiny, and morbid curiosity. Imprinted with an image many faithful have traditionally believed to be that of the crucified Christ "painted in his own blood," the Shroud remains an object of intense debate and notoriety yet today. In this amply illustrated volume, John Beldon Scott traces the history of the unique relic, focusing especially on the black-marble and gilt-bronze structure Guarino Guarini designed to house and exhibit it. A key Baroque monument, the chapel comprises many unusual architectural features, which Scott identifies and explains, particulary how the chapel's unprecedented geometry and bizarre imagery convey to the viewer the supernatural powers of the object enshrined there. Drawing on early plans and documents, he demonstrates how the architect's design mirrors the Shroud's strange history as well as political aspirations of its owners, the Dukes of Savoy. Exhibiting it ritually, the Savoy prized their relic with its godly vestige as a means to link their dynasty with divine purposes. Guarini, too, promoted this end by fashioning an illusionary world and sacred space that positioned the duke visually so that he appeared close to the Shroud during its ceremonial display. Finally, Scott describes how the additional need for an outdoor stage for the public showing of the relic to the thousands who came to Turin to see it also helped shape the urban plan of the city and its transformation into the Savoyard capital. Exploring the mystique of this enigmatic relic and investigating its architectural and urban history for the first time, Architecture for the Shroud will appeal to anyone curious about the textile, its display, and the architectural settings designed to enhance its veneration and boost the political agenda of the ruling family.

Book Synopsis Guarino Guarini by : Giuseppe Dardanello
Download or read book Guarino Guarini written by Giuseppe Dardanello and published by Allemandi. This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religioso dell'ordine dei Teatini, filosofo e matematico, teorico senza l'esperienza del disegno, Guarini si accosta alla pratica del costruire da una parte attraverso i libri e le letture, dall'altra con i viaggi e i soggiorni nelle case del proprio ordine, che da Modena lo portano a Roma, a Venezia, in Sicilia, a Parigi e in Francia, infine per un più lungo periodo a Torino, con puntate ancora nel Veneto, in Emilia e a Milano. Guarini fonde architettura e geometria, e inventa i suoi straordinari spazi introducendo nella prassi italiana tecniche costruttive derivanti dall'Europa del Nord, come la stereotomia o le strutture a nervature di origine gotica. La percezione visiva diviene, con Guarini, elemento determinante dell'architettura, così come il rapporto tra lo spazio e la luce, dando vita a organismi completamente inediti come la chiesa di San Lorenzo o, sempre a Torino, Palazzo Carignano, vero prototipo della dimora primcipesca. Questo volume, originato dal seminario organizzato nel 2002 dal Centro Internazionale di Studi di Architettura Andrea Palladio e sostenuto dalla Compagnia di San Paolo, costituisce la riflessione più completa e aggiornata sull'opera di questo grande architetto, grazie al contributo scientifico dei più importanti studiosi e dei migliori specialisti.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a master of his discipline, the ancient Roman architect Vitruvius has been read widely for centuries. This collection of essays by an international team of experts investigates his influence and reception in ideas, artistic forms, and building practices from antiquity to modern day. The stories of influence told in these pages suggest that it is the unbridgeable gulf between the Vitruvian text and surviving monuments that makes reading the Ten Books so endlessly compelling. The contributors to this volume offer their own, original readings, which are organized into the five sections: transmission; translation; reception; practice; and Vitruvian topics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this book Liane Lefaivre and Alexander Tzonis bring together 140 documents spanning a period from the year 1000 to the end of the eighteenth century. They argue that Modern Architectural thinking was created during this period, a wholly new forma mentis for conceiving buildings, landscapes, and cities. The material includes, in addition to the more predictable texts, key extracts from architectural treatises, handbooks, and textbooks, material from letters, articles from the press of the times, scientific memoirs, maxims, poems, plays, and novels. Their authors are equally varied architects, patrons, politicians, artists, poets, scientists, priests, philosophers, and journalists. Some describe and systematize, some argue and criticize, and a large number are eager to present new findings and new ways to construe and construct the world.".
