Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
The context of this second volume by Professor Duval is the
trinitarian controversies of the later 4th century. His work
presents a detailed analysis of the 'reconquest' of Northan Italy
and Illyricum from the homeist dogmas put in place by Constans II
and affirmed by the Council of Rimini in 359-60. Milan occupies a
central place, first as a bastion of Arianism, then as the see of
Ambrose, who eventually oversaw the victory of orthodoxy; as these
studies show, the process was not straightforward, and even after
the Council of Aquileia in 381, remained imperilled by the
turbulent politics of the Empire. The final item, hitherto
unpublished, gives a critical account of some recent work on
Ambrose.

The most important project for a design studio is the design of the
practice itself. A studio’s point of view is often first defined
by feelings and hopes, but if cultivated, grows into values and
tactics. How the studio environment is crafted and how it
cultivates a kinship around this point of view with collaborators,
clients, consultants, community members, and contractors is
essential for it to be productive and have a healthy impact. With
discipline, a studio evolves a practice that shapes the character,
performance, and value of the work. The studio’s early critiques
define the approach and territory of work and the propositions that
are asked of every project. The studio environment and
relationships create the space for the work to be possible.Â
Nine Propositions and fifty-three Foundations are shared herein and
are presented as a work in progress. Each Foundation additionally
includes a supporting commentary. These are lists that chronicle
the firms thinking and doing over 25 years. For Duvall Decker,
there is no separation between theory and practice. This collection
of Foundations and Propositions captures an approach to the work
and way of being an architect. This work is a privilege with public
responsibilities. This is one studio’s search for public
good. Â
