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.
