Download or read book The Art of Building at the Dawn of Human Civilization written by Marta Tobolczyk and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a new, unconventional outlook on architecture, presenting some aspects of its evolution. It demonstrates how prehistoric people developed the art of building when trying to solve increasingly complicated spatial and structural problems. The book shows the activity of building to be in synergy with the parallel advancement of the human ability to think in symbolic and abstract terms. The anthropological approach of this book will allow scientists to formulate the general principles and regularities of the development of architecture within a new field of studies, named the â oeOntogenesis of Architectureâ .

This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Architecture an Introduction to the History and Theory of the Art of Building Two arts have changed the surface of the world, Agriculture and Architecture. Perhaps the scale of architectural activity is not generally realized. The art of building is concerned not only with single structures but with cities, and hence with whole countries, for Egypt, Greece, and Italy were groups of cities rather than geographical spaces empty of men and dwellings. Architecture is the matrix of civilization. In this small volume I wish, while outlining the larger facts of the history of architecture, especially to bring out its origins and to call attention to the great contributions which from time to time have been made to its powers by divers schools.

Download or read book The Architecture of Alexandria and Egypt, C. 300 B.C. to A.D. 700 written by Judith McKenzie and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This masterful history of the monumental architecture of Alexandria, as well as of the rest of Egypt, encompasses an entire millennium—from the city’s founding by Alexander the Great in 331 B.C. to the years just after the Islamic conquest of A.D. 642. Long considered lost beyond recall, the architecture of ancient Alexandria has until now remained mysterious. But here Judith McKenzie shows that it is indeed possible to reconstruct the city and many of its buildings by means of meticulous exploration of archaeological remains, written sources, and an array of other fragmentary evidence. The book approaches its subject at the macro- and the micro-level: from city-planning, building types, and designs to architectural style. It addresses the interaction between the imported Greek and native Egyptian traditions; the relations between the architecture of Alexandria and the other cities and towns of Egypt as well as the wider Mediterranean world; and Alexandria’s previously unrecognized role as a major source of architectural innovation and artistic influence. Lavishly illustrated with new plans of the city in the Ptolemaic, Roman, and Byzantine periods; reconstruction drawings; and photographs, the book brings to life the ancient city and uncovers the true extent of its architectural legacy in the Mediterranean world.
