Book Synopsis The Conservation of Archaeological Sites in the Mediterranean Region by : Marta De la Torre
Download or read book The Conservation of Archaeological Sites in the Mediterranean Region written by Marta De la Torre and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 1998-02-26 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the greatest challenges faced today by those responsible for ancient cultural sites is that of maintaining the delicate balance between conserving these fragile resources and making them available to increasing numbers of visitors. Tourism, unchecked development, and changing environmental conditions threaten significant historical sites throughout the world. These issues are among the topics dealt with in this book, which reports on the proceedings of an international conference on the conservation of classical sites in the Mediterranean region, organized by the Getty Conservation Institute and the J. Paul Getty Museum. The book includes chapters discussing management issues at three sites: Piazza Armerina, Sicily; Knossos, Crete; and Ephesus, Turkey. While visiting these sites, conference participants examined how issues raised at these locales can illuminate the challenges of management and conservation faced by complex heritage sites the world over. Additional chapters discuss such topics as the management of cultural sites, the reconstruction of ancient buildings, and ways of presenting and interpreting sites for today's visitors.
Book Synopsis The Invention of Melbourne: a Baroque Archbishop and a Gothic Architect by : Jaynie Anderson
Download or read book The Invention of Melbourne: a Baroque Archbishop and a Gothic Architect written by Jaynie Anderson and published by Miegunyah Press. This book was released on 2019-08-06 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Invention of Melbourne defines the relationship between an architect of genius, William Wardell, and the first Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne, James Goold, an Irishman educated in Risorgimento, Italy. Their partnership produced St Patrick's, the largest cathedral of the 19th century anywhere in the world, and some thirteen churches, decorated with hundreds of Baroque paintings. These ambitious policies coincided with the Gold Rush, which contributed financially to their success. The contribution made by Wardell and Goold to the built environment of Melbourne remains significant. Together, they actively and creatively shaped the city that became a major international metropolis.
Book Synopsis Japan and Britain after 1859 by : Olive Checkland
Download or read book Japan and Britain after 1859 written by Olive Checkland and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-08-29 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years following Japan's long period of self-imposed isolation from the world, Japan developed a new relationship with the West, and especially with Britain, where relations grew to be particularly close. The Japanese, embarrassed by their perceived comparative backwardness, looked to the West to learn modern industrial techniques, including the design and engineering skills which underpinned them. At the same time, taking great pride in their own culture, they exhibited and sold high quality products of traditional Japanese craftsmanship in the West, stimulating a thirst for, and appreciation of, Japanese arts and crafts. This book examines the two-way bridge-building cultural exchange which took place between Japan and Britain in the years after 1859 and into the early years of the twentieth century. Topics covered include architecture, industrial design, prints, painting and photographs, together with a consideration of Japanese government policy, the Japan-Britain Exhibition of 1910, and commercial spin-offs. In addition, there are case studies of key individuals who were particularly influential in fostering British-Japanese cultural bridges in this period.
Book Synopsis Civilising the City by : Georgina Whitehead
Download or read book Civilising the City written by Georgina Whitehead and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The six public gardens encircling Melbourne's city centre and managed by the City of Melbourne - the Fitzroy, Flagstaff, Treasury, Carlton, Queen Victoria and Alexandra Gardens - were established at different stages in the development of the city, from the first decades after the gold rush to the early years of Australian federation. Changing technologies, social habits, tastes and ideas about Melbourne and its place in the world have been reflected in the initial designs for each garden and in their evolution to the present day.All of the gardens were shaped from despoiled remnants of the natural landscape by various departments of the Victorian Government and the City Council. Whether planned or left over after other developments, none were promising sites, but under the direction of a few men - in particular Clement Hodgkinson, Carlo Catani and J. T. Smith - all came to be admired public spaces manifesting the civility of a booming new city in the Antipodes.Civilising the City is the first comprehensive account of the development of these gardens. Contemporary descriptions and archival materials, including the La Trobe Library's extensive picture collection, are used to explore their development collectively as well as to show the evolution of each individual garden during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Download or read book World Expos written by Isaac López César and published by Architect Publications. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a fascinating journey along the history of architectural structures over the last 150 years, taking the World Expos as an original unifying thread. Nevertheless, it does not solely focus on the exhibition buildings; on the contrary, these are continuously being related to buildings beyond the scope of the Expos, thus ultimately providing a general vision of the history of modern structures. This essay is destined to become an essential work of reference within the history of architectural structures. It is generously illustrated with more than nine hundred large-scale illustrations, many of which have not appeared in contemporary publications. It offers innumerable facts that will interest architects, engineers or art historians. Likewise, members of the general public far-removed from these fields will also be able to enjoy many of the passages which are accessible to those who do not have any specific knowledge of architecture or engineering.
