Florence: A Map of Perceptions
ISBN: 9780813931814 / Angielski / Miękka / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Many years have passed since architect Andrea Ponsi settled in Florence, and still he feels he does not fully comprehend this mysterious city. The way Florence eludes understanding, however, can be an opportunity--to keep seeking, to keep exploring. Ponsi's Florence is endlessly suggestive. His tour of the city is one of continually shifting light and perspective, of stunning symmetry and an even more compelling asymmetry, of sudden transitions from bustling streets to the most perfect silence. While Ponsi does consider such celebrated sites as the Piazza Santa Croce, the Ponte...

ISBN: 9781409409045 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9780472118212 / Angielski / Twarda / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As they had during the Renaissance, ruins in the eighteenth century continued to serve as places of exchange between antiquity and modern times and between one architect and another. Rome functioned as a cultural entrepot, drawing to it architects of the caliber of Filippo Juvarra, Robert Adam, Charles-Louis Clerisseau, and Giovanni Battista Piranesi. Through their collaboration, on-site exchanges, publications, and polemics, architects contributed notably to fashioning a more critical and sophisticated view of the material heritage of classical antiquity, one that we associate with the...

While Greeks and non-Greeks had lived alongside each other for centuries before Alexander's conquest of the East, it was during the Hellenistic period that a more direct interaction of cultures occurred.

Thema der vorliegenden Untersuchung ist die 'monochrome' Wandmalerei der mittleren und spaten Kaiserzeit in Italien: Sie findet sich in Schlafraumen, Korridoren und Wirtschaftsraumen, aber auch in den eher bescheidenen Wohnraumen der armeren Bevolkerungsschichten. Diese sogenannten 'Nebenraumdekorationen' sind bisher nicht als eine eigenstandige Dekorationsgattung betrachtet worden. Doch zeigt sich, da auch sie eine - von den Hauptraumdekorationen unabhangige - stilistische Entwicklung durchlaufen, die eine chronologische Beurteilung ermoglicht.
