Cathedrals of Britain
ISBN: 9781784420499 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Cathedrals are awe-inspiring buildings. Most are grand medieval structures, while others appear simple and unpretentious - yet all were designed to reflect the glory of God and have a profound impact on us. As trailblazers of architectural development, each cathedral has distinct individual features - such as the powerful Norman Romanesque west towers of Durham, the unique octagonal tower at Ely, and the daring late Gothic finery and spaciousness at Gloucester.

The Dome of the Rock and Its Umayyad Mosaic Inscriptions
ISBN: 9780748695607 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Located on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, the Dome of the Rock was constructed at the end of the seventh century by order of caliph 'Abd al-Malik. This seminal structure has been much studied but no definitive interpretation yet exists of the meanings conveyed by the Dome at the time of its completion. The recovery of meaning is complicated by the paucity of primary written sources relating to the construction phases of the building and the motivations of its patron. This book concentrates on the most important surviving primary text, the long mosaic inscription running around the interior....

Papers run from Irish cashels to Welsh and Pictish strongholds, Saxon burhs, Viking fortresses, Byzantine castra, Carolingian...

Le Corbusier's Practical Aesthetic of the City: The Treatise 'la Construction Des Villes' of 1910/11
ISBN: 9781472445643 / Angielski / Twarda / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Le Corbusier wrote his first book-length treatise, La Construction des villes, in the early years of the C20th. This remarkable work, dealing with questions of aesthetic urbanism, shows Le Corbusier's intellectual influences in the field of urbanism, and it is an important document of contemporary urbanistic discourse around this period. In it, the architect emphasized the concept of space in the city as a prerequisite for aesthetic urbanism - which is highly remarkable since he later completely abandoned this notion. Discontent that the script was not sufficiently avant-garde, Le Corbusier...

ISBN: 9781138229341 / Angielski / Miękka / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When did drawing become an integral part of architecture? Among several architects and artists who brought about this change during the Renaissance, Francesco di Giorgio Martini s ideas on drawing recorded in his Trattati di architettura, ingegneria e arte militare (1475-1490) are significant. Francesco suggests that drawing is linked to the architect s imagination and central in conveying images and ideas to others. Starting with the broader edges of Francesco s written work and steadily penetrating into the fantastic world of his drawings, the book examines his singular...
