Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cette synthèse sur l'architecture romaine comportera deux tomes, le second étant consacré aux palais impériaux, à l'habitat urbain et aux monuments funéraires. Elle est, en langue française, la première du genre. Les anciens manuels en italien, en anglais et en allemand, qui furent en leur temps fort utiles, s'avèrent aujourd'hui sur bien des points incomplets ou insuffisants. La réflexion sur l'architecture romaine s'est, au cours de ces dernières décennies, enrichie de nouvelles connaissances, élargie à de nouveaux domaines, lestée de nouvelles problématiques. Les conquêtes de l'analyse monumentale et de l'archéologie urbaine ont remis en question beaucoup d'idées reçues : de Rome à Mérida, d'Arles à Jerash, de Bath à Carthage, les acquisitions sont multiples. Non seulement l'éventail des édifices identifiables s'est beaucoup élargi, mais la typologie des principaux monuments, la genèse de leur forme et leur évolution ne peuvent plus être présentées selon les méthodes mises en œuvre dans les précédentes synthèses. Ce premier volume, qui tire parti des découvertes les plus récentes, est consacré à l'architecture publique des villes et des sanctuaires. L'auteur y traite des principales composantes du paysage urbain aux trois derniers siècles de la République et aux deux premiers siècles de l'Empire, envisageant successivement : les éléments de définition et d'articulation de l'espace urbain (enceintes et portes de ville ; arcs honorifiques et triomphaux ; portiques et quadriportiques) ; les composantes des centres monumentaux (temples ; forums ; basiliques ; curies) ; les édifices du spectacle et du loisir (théâtres et odéons ; amphithéâtres ; cirques et stades ; bibliothèques et auditoriums ; sièges d'associations) ; les monuments des eaux (thermes ; fontaines et nymphées ; latrines publiques) ; les monuments du commerce et du stockage (marchés ; greniers et entrepôts). Echappant aux simplifications et ne négligeant aucune des variantes provinciales, cette typologie systématique s'apparente, pour chaque monument, à une histoire architecturale développée sur la longue durée. Elle porte une attention particulière à la définition des prototypes, à leur monumentalisation progressive et aux modifications induites par les besoins spécifiques des communautés, la diversité des aires culturelles et l'évolution des climats politiques.

Book excerpt: Le premier tome de cette synthèse sur l'architecture romaine, paru en 1996, était consacré aux monuments publics et traitait des principales composantes du paysage urbain aux trois derniers siècles de la République et aux deux premiers siècles de l'Empire. Ce second tome aborde, pour les mêmes périodes, l'analyse de ce qu'il est convenu d'appeler la " sphère du privé ", dont l'extension s'avère, dans le monde méditerranéen antique, à la fois plus large et plus restreinte que celle que nous lui reconnaissons dans nos sociétés contemporaines. S'il est un domaine ou les connaissances ont progressé au cours de ces dernières années, c'est bien celui de l'habitat. qui occupe le centre du présent volume : une sensibilité plus vive au cadre concret de l'existence, l'attention portée par les archéologues et les historiens aux structures les plus humbles et à tout ce qui constitua dans le passé la trame des jours ordinaires ont non seulement accru la documentation disponible mais aussi élargi les modes d'interrogation des vestiges. Dans le même temps l'approche sociologique des composantes de la demeure des classes aisées permettait de mieux déchiffrer les signes de la réussite ou de l'ostentation économique dans des architectures dont le rôle fonctionnel pouvait s'estomper au profit de fonctions représentatives très élaborées. Pour les villas, les harmoniques dominatrices de la construction s'affirment avec encore plus de clarté, car il s'agit d'établir la primauté d'une famille sur un domaine qui peut être énorme ; la dialectique entre les aménagements liés à la production et ceux qui expriment la fortune ou la culture du maître des lieux est révélatrice de l'esprit d'émulation qui règne entre les propriétaires d'un même territoire. La section consacrée aux monuments funéraires implique la mise en œuvre de méthodes différentes ; les tombeaux semblent en effet, dans l'esprit des théoriciens comme des bâtisseurs romains, hors du champ de l'architecture proprement dite. Malgré la multiplicité presque infinie des choix formels et décoratifs dont ils relèvent, ils n'en expriment pas moins, plus fidèlement que bien d'autres constructions, les prétentions, les espérances, la richesse ou la misère de ceux qui les ont fait élever ; leurs alignements le long des routes ont animé pendant des siècles le paysage suburbain et proposé une sorte d'image anticipée de la ville dont ils annonçaient la proximité. En guise de conclusion, deux chapitres regroupent et ordonnent les données répandues à travers ces deux volumes, concernant d'une part l'évolution de l'ordre corinthien, qui est l'ordre romain par excellence et dont l'influence sur l'architecture européenne allait être immense ; et d'autre part la formation, le statut social et les modes d'action des architectes, qu'ils soient engagés dans des programmes publics ou dans des opérations privées.

Book Synopsis City Walls in Late Antiquity by : Emanuele Intagliata
Download or read book City Walls in Late Antiquity written by Emanuele Intagliata and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The construction of urban defences was one of the hallmarks of the late Roman and late-antique periods (300–600 AD) throughout the western and eastern empire. City walls were the most significant construction projects of their time and they redefined the urban landscape. Their appearance and monumental scale, as well as the cost of labour and material, are easily comparable to projects from the High Empire; however, urban circuits provided late-antique towns with a new means of self-representation. While their final appearance and construction techniques varied greatly, the cost involved and the dramatic impact that such projects had on the urban topography of late-antique cities mark city walls as one of the most important urban initiatives of the period. To-date, research on city walls in the two halves of the empire has highlighted chronological and regional variations, enabling scholars to rethink how and why urban circuits were built and functioned in Late Antiquity. Although these developments have made a significant contribution to the understanding of late-antique city walls, studies are often concerned with one single monument/small group of monuments or a particular region, and the issues raised do not usually lead to a broader perspective, creating an artificial divide between east and west. It is this broader understanding that this book seeks to provide. The volume and its contributions arise from a conference held at the British School at Rome and the Swedish Institute of Classical Studies in Rome on June 20-21, 2018. It includes articles from world-leading experts in late-antique history and archaeology and is based around important themes that emerged at the conference, such as construction, spolia-use, late-antique architecture, culture and urbanism, empire-wide changes in Late Antiquity, and the perception of this practice by local inhabitants.
Book Synopsis Perspectives on Public Space in Rome, from Antiquity to the Present Day by : Jan Gadeyne
Download or read book Perspectives on Public Space in Rome, from Antiquity to the Present Day written by Jan Gadeyne and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides readers interested in urban history with a collection of essays on the evolution of public space in that paradigmatic western city which is Rome. Scholars specialized in different historical periods contributed chapters, in order to find common themes which weave their way through one of the most complex urban histories of western civilization. Divided into five chronological sections (Antiquity, Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque, Modern and Contemporary) the volume opens with the issue of how public space was defined in classical Roman law and how ancient city managers organized the maintenance of these spaces, before moving on to explore how this legacy was redefined and reinterpreted during the Middle Ages. The third group of essays examines how the imposition of papal order on feuding families during the Renaissance helped introduce a new urban plan which could satisfy both functional and symbolic needs. The fourth section shows how modern Rome continued to express strong interest in the control and management of public space, the definition of which was necessarily selective in this vastly extensive city. The collection ends with an essay on the contemporary debate for revitalizing Rome's eastern periphery. Through this long-term chronological approach the volume offers a truly unique insight into the urban development of one of Europe’s most important cities, and concludes with a discuss of the challenges public space faces today after having served for so many centuries as a driving force in urban history.

Book Synopsis The Origins of Concrete Construction in Roman Architecture by : Marcello Mogetta
Download or read book The Origins of Concrete Construction in Roman Architecture written by Marcello Mogetta and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-06-24 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study, Marcello Mogetta examines the origins and early dissemination of concrete technology in Roman Republican architecture. Framing the genesis of innovative building processes and techniques within the context of Rome's early expansion, he traces technological change in monumental construction in long-established urban centers and new Roman colonial cites founded in the 2nd century BCE in central Italy. Mogetta weaves together excavation data from both public monuments and private domestic architecture that have been previously studied in isolation. Highlighting the organization of the building industry, he also explores the political motivations and cultural aspirations of patrons of monumental architecture, reconstructing how they negotiated economic and logistical constraints by drawing from both local traditions and long-distance networks. By incorporating the available evidence into the development of concrete technology, Mogetta also demonstrates the contributions of anonymous builders and contractors, shining a light on their ability to exploit locally available resources.
