Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Robert Adam His Brothers: Their Lives, Work Influence on English Architecture, Decoration and Furniture Some years have elapsed since I was invited to become the author Of this book. Then I was filled with admiration for some Of the finest works Of the brothers; for long I had been generally familiar with their best known undertakings and with the collection of engravings of their work. Published in the eighteenth Century and at the beginning of the nineteenth, but these had hitherto failed to convey to me an adequate conception of their remarkable ability as designers. It was not until I saw the actual works. That have been preserved with care in many of the great houses Of this country, that I became able to properly appreciate the value Of their work. And to ascertain the true position of the brothers among the architects and art workers Of their day. In addition to visiting the works Of the brothers in London and the vicinity, I have familiarised myself with examples in the more distant parts Of the provinces, as well as in both Scotland and Ireland. I have also been able, whilst upon the Continent, to pay Visits to most of the places at which both Robert and James Adam Stayed, when engaged abroad upon study and research; and in these and Similar ways I have sought to do what in me lay to render this book more useful and of greater interest.

Book Synopsis Hendrik Petrus Berlage by : Hendrik Petrus Berlage
Download or read book Hendrik Petrus Berlage written by Hendrik Petrus Berlage and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hendrik Petrus Berlage, the Dutch architect and architectural philosopher, created a series of buildings and a body of writings from 1886 to 1909 that were among the first efforts to probe the problems and possibilities of modernism. Although his Amsterdam Stock Exchange, with its rational mastery of materials and space, has long been celebrated for its seminal influence on the architecture of the 20th century, Berlage's writings are highlighted here. Bringing together Berlage's most important texts, among them "Thoughts on Style in Architecture", "Architecture's Place in Modern Aesthetics", and "Art and Society", this volume presents a chapter in the history of European modernism. In his introduction, Iain Boyd Whyte demonstrates that the substantial contribution of Berlage's designs to modern architecture cannot be fully appreciated without an understanding of the aesthetic principles first laid out in his writings.

Book Synopsis Reading Architectural History by : Dana Arnold
Download or read book Reading Architectural History written by Dana Arnold and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Architectural history is more than just the study of buildings. Architecture of the past and present remains an essential emblem of a distinctive social system and set of cultural values and as a result it has been the subject of study of a variety of disciplines. But what is architectural history and how should we read it? Reading Architectural History examines the historiographic and socio/cultural implications of the mapping of British architectural history with particular reference to eighteenth - and nineteenth-century Britain. Discursive essays consider a range of writings from biographical and social histories to visual surveys and guidebooks to examine the narrative structures of histories of architecture and their impact on perception adn understanding of the architecture of the past. Alongside this, each chapter cites canonical histories juxtaposed with a range of social and cultural theorists, to reveal that these writings are richer than we have perhaps recognised and that architectural production in this period can in interrogated in the same way as that from more recent past - and can be read in a variety of ways. The essays and texts combine to form an essential course reader for methods and critical approached to architectural history, and more generally as examples of the kind of evidence used in the formation of architectural histories, while also offering a thematic introduction to architecture in Britain and its social and cultural meaning.

Book Synopsis Robert Adam and His Brothers by : John Swarbrick
Download or read book Robert Adam and His Brothers written by John Swarbrick and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-16 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE Essay which gained the Architectural Association Essay Prize for the Session 1902-3, on "The Life, Work and Influence of Robert Adam and His Brothers," by Mr. John Swarbrick, after appearing in the pages of Architectural Association Notes, has been reprinted in pamphlet form, of which a copy has been sent to us. Though in general we should not devote a separate article to the review of a pamphlet, Mr. Swarbrick's careful and well-written monograph on the subject, for which he deserves all credit, affords an opportunity for a consideration of a career which formed an important chapter in the history of modern English architecture, and to which there is nothing analogous in the modern developments of Renaissance architecture in any other country. To weigh correctly the reputation enjoyed by the Brothers Adam, and to assign them their position among the architects of the XVIIIth century, is not, as Mr. Swarbrick confesses, an entirely easy matter. He has nevertheless attempted a short estimate of their influence, although the greater part of his essay is occupied with a comprehensive review of their work and career, compiled, as the appendix shows, from a great variety of sources. The task is difficult, it is further explained, in consequence of the diverse character of their undertakings. This, in a sense, is so. And it is perhaps only by considering their works as a whole, as the Adams themselves treated them, that we are likely to arrive at a result.... --The Builder, Volume 87
