This book was released on 2018-12-14 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Details of the Architecture of Tuscany We have endeavoured to make the book as comprehensive as possible in the range of subjects chosen for presentation in order that its usefulness may cover a wide field. We have endeavoured also to select subjects replete with suggestive value and suitable for a diversity of applications. Most of all, we have striven for absolute exactitude and fidelity of presentment so that the exquisite subtlety of all the details may be preserved. Not only are the meas ured drawings given, so that the physical actuality of each subject may be grasped, but likewise half tone illustrations which convey the spirit of the work and the ensemble of its environment. We have included a number of homely items such as the measurements of flooring bricks and how they are laid, or the dimensions of roofing tiles and the manner of their hanging, items devoid, perhaps, of spectacular appeal but valuable for their intimate constructional interest. Information upon such points as these the architect seeks for in vain in the monumental works. Along with these minor but exceedingly important matters are included sundry measurements of rustication the treatment of farmhouse and villa chimneys, and exact schemes of the painting of beamed ceilings.

Book excerpt: Tuscany is a landscape whose cultural construction is complicated and multi-layered. It is this very complexity that this book seeks to untangle. By revealing hidden histories, we learn how food, landscape and architecture are intertwined, as well as the extent to which Italian design and contemporary consumption patterns form a legacy that draws upon the Romantic longings of a century before. In the process, this book reveals the extent to which Tuscany has been constructed by Anglos — and what has been distorted, idealized and even overlooked in the process.

Download or read book Prato written by Alick Macdonnel McLean and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handsome book recounts the historical development of one city republic, Prato in Tuscany, from the eleventh through the fourteenth century. In telling the story of Prato's origins, construction, and demise, Alick McLean considers the planning, art, architecture, politics, faith, and daily life of Prato and its citizens, showing how major historical events and trends in the Italian middle ages were experienced within the architecture and streetscapes of this particular place. McLean's meticulous research is supported by a rich array of stunning new photography, plans, and maps. Together they provide a clear picture of what differentiates Italy's medieval communes from its ancient cities: the interest in economic growth rather than exclusively centralized military and administrative hegemony. This history of urban form in Prato shows how the commune sought to fashion a democratic version of urban life, one based primarily on rational, systematic, and legislative order, rather than religious belief and private interests, and it examines what happened to that experiment

Download or read book Robert A M Stern written by Robert A.M. Stern and published by The Monacelli Press, LLC. This book was released on 2005-11-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert A. M. Stern is dedicated to the synthesis of tradition and innovation. In more than thirty-five years of practice, he has produced a wide range of building types with a variety of stylistic influences, all inspired by the great legacy of American architecture. His firm, Robert A. M. Stern Architects, was first recognized for its distinguished houses, and residential design remains the cornerstone of the practice. This beautifully illustrated monograph—a companion to the best-selling Robert A. M. Stern: Houses—presents twenty-six of the firm's most memorable houses. Located in diverse settings across North America—from a valley in Colorado with sweeping views of the Aspen mountains to a bluff overlooking Long Island Sound to an island off the coast of British Columbia—these remarkable houses reveal the architect's emphasis on the importance of context and his dedication to exploring the nature of space. Each house invokes the vernacular architectural heritage particular to its region while gracefully reflecting its unique natural surroundings. Whether they are Shingle Style "cottages" by the sea, colonial Georgian country estates, or elegant Regency designs, Stern's houses are unique both for their timelessness and their ability to evoke a conversation with the past—a dialogue he believes lies at the heart of architecture. Pilar Viladas is the design editor of the New York Times Magazine.
