Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Architecture: From the Earliest Times, Its Present Condition in Europe and the United States; With a Biography of Eminent Architects, and a Glossary of Architectural Terms The perception of the beautiful, is among the noblest of God's gifts to man. When improved by culture, it diffuses over the poor wants of human nature a glory, like sunlight upon the dark and frozen earth. The peasant of the genial South, trains the jessamine over his rude porch, and beneath it, after the weary labour of the day, enjoys the stilly eve. The Swiss mountaineer hangs his picturesque chalet amid the embowering trees of his native Alps, and its beauty delights the passing traveller. With the same earnest longing for the beautiful, the man of wealth calls in the aid of Art, to decorate his more lofty dwelling-place. But not alone the home of man must minister to his love of the beautiful; the Temple, which he consecrates to the worship of his Creator, must rear its stately columns and spread its overarching vault, to form a fit sanctuary for holy thoughts and heavenward aspirations.

CHRONOLOGICAL TABLE OF THE PRINCIPAL ARCHITECTS, BEFORE AND SINCE THE CHRISTIAN ERA.* B. C. 1400. Trophonius and Agamades are said to have been the sons of a Boeotian King. They built the renowned Temple of Apollo, at Delphos. Cicero relates, that after they had completed this magnificent work, they prayed the God to reward them with whatever was best for man; three days after, they were found dead. 1250. Dcedalus was an Athenian of the royal family, who built the famous Labyrinth in the Island of Crete, and many other edifices in various places. 1200. Hermogenes built the Temple of Bacchus, at Teos, in the Ionic order, remains of which are still seen. Vitruvius calls him the father of pure architecture. 700. Rhoscus and Theodorus, of Saraos, rebuilt the famous Temple of Juno, of the Doric order, at Samos. Theodorus was also a sculptor. * Taken principally from Milizia. The chronology is not supposed to be perfectly acurate. 650. Eupalinus, of Megara, constructed a magnificent aqueduct at Samos, and other immense buildings, the ruins of which are remaining. 550. Pieras built a city in Crete, and adding a letter to his name, called it Aptera. Spinthcerus, of Corinth, rebuilt the Temple of Apollo, at Delphi, which had been destroyed by fire. Ctesiphon designed and commenced the famous Temple of Diana, at Ephesus. 540. Metagams, his son, carried on the Temple; he invented ingenious machines to carry the immense columns from the quarry, eight miles distant, safely to the temple. To this famous edifice all Greece, and her colonies, contributed for the space of two hundred years, when it was burnt by Erostratus. 500. Gitiades, of Sparta, constructed there the Brazen Temple of Minerva. Chirosqphus, of Crete, built a number of temples at Tegea....

Book Synopsis Antiquity in Gotham by : Elizabeth Macaulay-Lewis
Download or read book Antiquity in Gotham written by Elizabeth Macaulay-Lewis and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2021-03-23 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first detailed study of “Neo-Antique” architecture applies an archaeological lens to the study of New York City’s structures Since the city’s inception, New Yorkers have deliberately and purposefully engaged with ancient architecture to design and erect many of its most iconic buildings and monuments, including Grand Central Terminal and the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Memorial Arch in Brooklyn, as well as forgotten gems such as Snug Harbor on Staten Island and the Gould Memorial Library in the Bronx. Antiquity in Gotham interprets the various ways ancient architecture was re-conceived in New York City from the eighteenth century to the early twenty-first century. Contextualizing New York’s Neo-Antique architecture within larger American architectural trends, author Elizabeth Macaulay-Lewis applies an archaeological lens to the study of the New York buildings that incorporated these various models in their design, bringing together these diverse sources of inspiration into a single continuum. Antiquity in Gotham explores how ancient architecture communicated the political ideals of the new republic through the adaptation of Greek and Roman architecture, how Egyptian temples conveyed the city’s new technological achievements, and how the ancient Near East served many artistic masters, decorating the interiors of glitzy Gilded Age restaurants and the tops of skyscrapers. Rather than classifying neo-classical (and Greek Revival), Egyptianizing, and architecture inspired by the ancient Near East into distinct categories, Macaulay-Lewis applies the Neo-Antique framework that considers the similarities and differences—intellectually, conceptually, and chronologically—among the reception of these different architectural traditions. This fundamentally interdisciplinary project draws upon all available evidence and archival materials—such as the letters and memos of architects and their patrons, and the commentary in contemporary newspapers and magazines—to provide a lively multi-dimensional analysis that examines not only the city’s ancient buildings and rooms themselves but also how New Yorkers envisaged them, lived in them, talked about them, and reacted to them. Antiquity offered New Yorkers architecture with flexible aesthetic, functional, cultural, and intellectual resonances—whether it be the democratic ideals of Periclean Athens, the technological might of Pharaonic Egypt, or the majesty of Imperial Rome. The result of these dialogues with ancient architectural forms was the creation of innovative architecture that has defined New York City’s skyline throughout its history.
Book Synopsis Adele Briscoe Looscan by : Laura McLemore
Download or read book Adele Briscoe Looscan written by Laura McLemore and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-26 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adele Briscoe Looscan was the first woman president of the Texas State Historical Association, the longest-serving president of the association (1915–1925), and a remarkable individual. Daughter of Andrew Briscoe, signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence, and granddaughter of John Richardson Harris, founder of Harrisburg, Texas, she was shaped and motivated by her heritage throughout her life. Adele Looscan was a woman of her time, yet she flourished in the society of both men and women, earning the respect of the former as an astute businesswoman and the admiration of the latter for her leadership and accomplishments. As a clubwoman, she built an impressive résumé: charter member of the Texas State Historical Association; member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, United Daughters of the Confederacy, Daughters of the Republic of Texas, and the Texas Woman’s Press Association; president of the Houston City Federation of Women’s Clubs; and vice president of the Texas Federation of Women’s Clubs in its first year. She organized the Ladies’ Reading Club of Houston in 1885 and was instrumental in founding other literary clubs years before the organization of the Texas Federation. Her contributions to Texas history appeared in many newspapers and in the Southwestern Historical Quarterly. She used her influence to encourage public education and the preservation of historic landmarks and actively advocated for a state library, archives, and museum. Her story is valuable and compelling for what it reveals about women and culture in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Texas and for what it reveals about the nature, origins, and shaping of Texas’s modern identity.
Book Synopsis Knowledge Worlds by : Reinhold Martin
Download or read book Knowledge Worlds written by Reinhold Martin and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-16 with total page 681 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do the technical practices, procedures, and systems that have shaped institutions of higher learning in the United States, from the Ivy League and women’s colleges to historically black colleges and land-grant universities, teach us about the production and distribution of knowledge? Addressing media theory, architectural history, and the history of academia, Knowledge Worlds reconceives the university as a media complex comprising a network of infrastructures and operations through which knowledge is made, conveyed, and withheld. Reinhold Martin argues that the material infrastructures of the modern university—the architecture of academic buildings, the configuration of seminar tables, the organization of campus plans—reveal the ways in which knowledge is created and reproduced in different kinds of institutions. He reconstructs changes in aesthetic strategies, pedagogical techniques, and political economy to show how the boundaries that govern higher education have shifted over the past two centuries. From colleges chartered as rights-bearing corporations to research universities conceived as knowledge factories, educating some has always depended upon excluding others. Knowledge Worlds shows how the division of intellectual labor was redrawn as new students entered, expertise circulated, science repurposed old myths, and humanists cultivated new forms of social and intellectual capital. Combining histories of architecture, technology, knowledge, and institutions into a critical media history, Martin traces the uneven movement in the academy from liberal to neoliberal reason.
