From Martyr to Monument: The Abbey of Cluny as Cultural Patrimony
ISBN: 9781847182128 / Angielski / Twarda / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. After the French Revolution and the dissolution of the monastic orders, the great Abbey of Cluny in France was closed and the buildings were sold for materials. This process went on for nearly thirty years, just as a romantic appreciation of the medieval past was gaining popularity. Although the government was unable to halt most of the demolition work, one transept arm with a large and small tower was saved from ruin, along with a few small Gothic buildings and the eighteenth-century cloister. Efforts to preserve, repair, and reuse the remains waxed and waned for a century while historians...

'Temple Beauties': The Entrance-Portico in the Architecture of Great Britain 1630-1850
ISBN: 9781905739448 / Angielski / Miękka / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The portico was a defining feature of the Classical architectural revival of the eighteenth and early nineteenth century in Britain, but has been rarely studied in its own right. In this well illustrated volume Richard Riddell first provides a definition for the portico, then explores its symbolism and significance. He selects representative examples of different portico types, relating them to stylistic developments and influential models. The work also addresses and interprets the different civic, ecclesiastical, commercial and domestic contexts in which the portico is to be found.

The title thus on the one hand opposes the medium of...

Not just cultural but clear economic and environmental reasons existed for a rejection of the new architectural agenda. Whatever its efficacy or flaws, it ultimately served as a model worldwide for cityscapes and housing well...

This study of the different types of funeral architecture in Roman Egypt sheds new light on the question of the contacts between Egypt and the other provinces in the Empire. Funeral architecture in Roman Egypt has been largely neglected by scientists despite abundant archaeological literature on the subject. Yet, besides travel narrations and tales of discoveries, which are not always easily exploitable, a large number of recent accurate archaeological publications contribute to renewing our knowledge of this type of funeral architecture. Thanks to extensive excavations made since the 1980s,...

Der Palladio-Führer
ISBN: 9783528087241 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 147 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Palladio ist wahrscheinlich der einfluBreichste aller westlichen Architekten. Trotz seiner Bekanntheit wird sein Werk haufig falsch interpretiert. Die palladianische Villa wird oft als isoliertes Objekt analysiert, kontextlos und einem neuplatonischen Ideal nachstrebend. Darliber hinaus werden Palladios Stadtbauten kaum in Zusam menhang mit den einfluBreicheren landlichen Villen gesehen. Deshalb werden haufig die seinen Werken zugrunde liegende Haltung zum Raum und die flir seine Bauten charakteristische ordnende Beziehung zur Umgebung vernachlassigt. Solche Ansich ten scheinen von einer...
