ISBN: 9780415139410 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Do they reveal battles won by indigenous cultures and styles? Or do they simply represent an architectural style made absurdly incongruous in relocation?
Empire Building is a study of how and why Western architecture was exported to the Middle East and how Islamic and... The colonial architecture of the nineteenth century has much to tell us of the history of colonialism and cultural exchange. Yet, these buildings can ...

ISBN: 9780415167192 / Angielski / Twarda / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Roman Villas explores the social structures of the Roman world by analysing the plans of buildings of all sizes from slightly Romanized farms to palaces. The ways in which the rooms are grouped together; how they intercommunicate; and the ways in which individual rooms and the house are approached, reveal various social patterns, which question traditional ideas about the Roman family and household. J. T. Smith argues that virtually all houses were occupied by groups of varying composition, challenging the received wisdom that they were single family houses whose size reflected only...

The Roman House in Britain
ISBN: 9780415221986 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work sets the results of archaeological research in the context of classical scholarship, as it explores three main aspects of Romano-British buildings: general characteristics of form and structure; the ways in which they were built and decorated; and the range of activities for which they were designed. This evidence is then used to discuss the social practices and domestic arrangements that characterized Romano-British elite society. The author also looks to the ancient world at large, to see if there are similarities or contrasts which can illuminate Romano-British findings. Fully...

Architecture and Nature: Creating the American Landscape
ISBN: 9780415283595 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Winner of the 2006 Alice Davis Hitchcock Award The word 'nature' comes from natura, Latin for birth - as do the words nation, native and innate.

In the United States, the relationship between nation and nature has been central to its colonial and post-colonial history, from the idea of the noble savage to the myth of the frontier. Narrated, painted and filmed, American landscapes have been central to the construction of a...
