ISBN: 9781412845809 / Angielski / Miękka / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Built space is both a physical entity as well as a socially and historically constructed place. It constantly interacts with human beings, affecting their behavior, thinking, and feeling. Doing religious work in a particular environment implies acknowledging the surroundings to be integral to theology itself. The contributors to this volume view buildings, scriptures, conversations, prayers, preaching, artifacts, music and drama, and built and natural surroundings as contributors to a contextual theology. The view of the environment in which religion is practiced as integrated with... Built space is both a physical entity as well as a socially and historically constructed place.

Marcel Breuer and a Committee of Twelve Plan a Church: A Monastic Memoir
ISBN: 9780974099279 / Angielski / Miękka / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Internationally renowned architect I. M. Pei commented that if Marcel Breuer's church for Saint John's Abbey had been built in New York instead of the north woods of Minnesota it would be world famous. Hamilton Smith, Breuer's longtime associate, wrote that the completed church was that rare thing, an architectural design fully realized, and he regarded it as Breuer's finest achievement. The junior member of the twelve-monk planning committee recounts in warm and frequently humorous detail how its members related to the Hungarian-born Bauhaus-trained architect who had no background in...

Form, Style and Meaning in Byzantine Church Architecture
ISBN: 9780860787792 / Angielski / Twarda / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Using detailed analyses of individual buildings as a point of departure, Professor Buchwald here examines various approaches to Byzantine architectural forms, and raises questions concerning the use of stylistic and other forms of analysis. One group of articles focuses on stylistic currents in Asia Minor, including that of the 13th-century Lascarid dynasty, previously unknown. Others explore methods which appear to have been used in the design of Byzantine churches, such as dimensional a rules of thumba, modular and geometric systems of proportion, and the quadratura, hitherto recognised...

The Post-Byzantine Monuments of the Pontos: A Source Book
ISBN: 9780860788645 / Angielski / Twarda / 502 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume makes available a unique record of the post-Byzantine architecture and buildings - churches primarily, but also monasteries, bridges and schools - of the Pontos, the north-eastern coastlands of Anatolia. The region enjoyed two great periods of prosperity, first expressed in the richness of its buildings from the time of the Empire of Trebizond (1204a 1461), and second in its no less remarkable but barely-known post-Byzantine monuments. This Pontic revival began in the 18th century, under the patronage of the silver-miners and bishops of Chaldia and flourished after the...

Provincial Cilicia and the Archaeology of Temple Conversion
ISBN: 9781841716343 / Angielski / Miękka / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. With the advent of Christianity, many symbols of paganism were removed or abandoned, and many public structures and buildings were the first to go. Based on a collated database of more than 350 structures, this study examines the physical evidence for temple conversion from the mid-5th century onwards drawing on examples from the province of Cilicia. Historical and archaeological evidence is combined in Bayliss' analysis of the mechanics, logistics, chronology and socio-political processes involved in the piecemeal or total appropriation of pagan temples. His study raises but does not seek to...
