British Architectural Theory 1540-1750 - An Anthology of Texts (Paperback): Caroline Van Eck British Architectural Theory 1540-1750 - An Anthology of Texts (Paperback)
Caroline Van Eck; Contributions by Christy Anderson
R1,141 Discovery Miles 11 410 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book was published in 2003. Although it is often assumed that British writing on architectural theory really started in the 18th century, there is in fact a large corpus of writing on architecture pre-dating the introduction of Palladianism by Lord Burlington. Some of it, such as the English editions of Serlio and Palladio, belongs to the Vitruvian tradition. But many texts elude such easy classification, such as the prolonged (but hardly studied) discussions on church architecture, which are both in form and content very different from the way that theme was handled in Italian Renaissance treatises. This collection of English writing on architecture from 1540 to 1750 offers a large selection of fragments, some of them never published before. They discuss the nature of architecture, the practicalities of building, the sense of the past, religious architecture and classicism.

This title was first published in 2002: Since antiquity through to the present, architecture and the pictorial arts (paintings, photography, graphic arts) have not been rigidly separated but interrelated - the one informing the other, and establishing patterns of creation and reception. In the Classical tradition the education of the architect and artist has always stressed this relationship between the arts, although modern scholarship has too often treated them as separate disciplines. These volumes explore the history of this exchange between the arts as it emerged from classical theory into artistic and architectural practice. Issues of visual representation, perspective, allegory, site specificity, ornamentation, popular culture, memorials, urban and utopian planning, and the role of treatises, manifestos, and other theoretical writings are addressed, as well as the critical reaction to these products and practices. This title represents a variety of methods, approaches, and diatectical interpretations - cases where architecture informs the themes and physical space of pictures, or pictorial concerns inform the design and construction of the built environment.

The exchanges between architecture and pictures explored by these authors are found to be in all cases ideologically potent, and therefore significantly expressive of their respective social, political, and intellectual histories.

Materials carried the meaning of early modern art. Transformed and crafted from the matter of nature, art objects were the physical embodiment of both the inherent qualities of materials and the forces of culture that used, refined and produced them. The study of materials offers a new approach to this important period in the history of art, science and culture, linking the close study of painting, sculpture and architecture to much wider categories of the everyday and the exotic. Drawing on research and models from anthropology, material culture and the history of art, scholars in The matter of art explore topics as diverse as Inka stonework, gold in panel painting, cork platforms for shoes, and the Christian Eucharist. -- .

Inigo Jones and the Classical Tradition (Hardcover, New): Christy Anderson Inigo Jones and the Classical Tradition (Hardcover, New)
Christy Anderson
R2,737 Discovery Miles 27 370 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Inigo Jones worked as hard on the creation of his architectural persona as he did on the design of the buildings for the early Stuart court. Through his study of continental architectural and art theory, humanist education, and courtly behavior, Jones redefined the intellectual status of architecture in England and forged a new role for the architect in public life. Since his death, he has been variously described as the first educated architect, the first classicist, the first Renaissance architect in Britain, and the savior of British building from the long winter of the Elizabethan style. This reputation has overlooked the many ways that Jones drew on English customs in order to shape classical architecture for a domestic audience. This 2006 book explores the creation of Jones as professional architect and the development of classical architecture in England through a study of his reading, writing, and architectural practice.

The Renaissance was a diverse phenomenon, marked by innovation and economic expansion, the rise of powerful rulers, religious reforms, and social change. Encompassing the entire continent, Renaissance Architecture examines the rich variety of buildings that emerged during these seminal centuries of European history.
Although marked by the rise of powerful individuals, both patrons and architects, the Renaissance was equally a time of growing group identities and communities -- and architecture provided the public face to these new identities. Religious reforms in northern Europe, spurred on by Martin Luther, rejected traditional church function and decoration, and proposed new models. Political ambitions required new buildings to satisfy court rituals. Territory, nature, and art intersected to shape new landscapes and building types. Classicism came to be the international language of an educated architect and an ambitious patron, drawing on the legacy of ancient Rome. Yet the richness of the medieval tradition continued to be used throughout Europe, often alongside classical buildings.
Examining each of these areas by turn, this book offers a broad cultural history of the period as well as a completely new approach to the history of Renaissance architecture. The work of well-known architects such as Michelangelo and Andrea Palladio is examined alongside lesser known though no less innovative designers such as Juan Guas in Portugal and Benedikt Ried in Prague and Eastern Europe. Drawing on the latest research, it also covers more recent areas of interest such as the story of women as patrons and the emotional effect of Renaissance buildings, as well as the impact of architectural publications and travel on the emerging new architectural culture across Europe. As such, it provides a compelling introduction to the subject for all those interested in the history of architecture, society, and culture in the Renaissance, and European culture in general.

"Faith"-What is it really? How is it defined? What is its nature? How does faith function within a biblical framework? Is faith something we believe and are convinced of? Or is it something we do or exercise? Is faith a verb or a noun? How do we know if we even have saving faith? Faith is such a simple word. We use it all the time in the context of Christian experience. Yet, many struggle to truly understand its nature. Trust, believe, faith, and faithfulness all carry profound implications depending on how we understand and define the Greek and Hebrew terms from which these English words are derived. Ultimately, we know that Yeshua (Jesus) is the focus of our faith, and in Him all our statements of belief cohere or come together. Yet, when Yeshua describes true "saving faith," He does so in terms not only of what one thinks about Him, but what one does because of Him. Ultimately, if faith without works is a dead faith, what does a living faith look like?

This commentary unlocks the mystery of the Melchizedek Code as interpreted by the apostle who wrote The Letter to the Hebrews. Without this unique book within the Apostolic Scriptures (New Testament) we would not understand the priesthood of Messiah. However, in order to understand the Letter to the Hebrews, we must understand the art of ancient Hebraic midrash and ancient ring composition that puts a unique demand on readers and requires them to conduct multiple readings with a careful observing eye in order to discover the structure and messages hidden in the very form of the text.
