The importance of place - as a unique spatial identity - has been
recognized since antiquity. Ancient references to the 'genius
loci', or spirit of place, evoked not only the location of a
distinct atmosphere or environment, but also the protection of this
location, and implicitly, its making and construction. This volume
examines the concept of place as it relates to architectural
production and building knowledge in early modern Europe
(1400-1800). The places explored in the book's ten essays take
various forms, from an individual dwelling to a cohesive urban
development to an extensive political territory. Within the scope
of each study, the authors draw on primary source documents and
original research to demonstrate the distinctive features of a
given architectural place, and how these are related to a
geographic location, social circumstances, and the contributions of
individual practitioners. The essays underscore the distinct
techniques, practices and organizational structures by which
physical places were made in the early modern period.
