Download or read book Colonial Urbanism in the Age of the Enlightenment written by Claudia Murray and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2023-06-06 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of how the monarchy aimed at creating a new capital city in a remote and forgotten area of the empire. It also shows how the local Creole bourgeoisie rapidly assumed the role of urban developers, and enhanced their economic status by investing in and controlling the Buenos Aires’ property market. In a short period, from 1776 to 1810, the urban transformation of Buenos Aires helped increase the Crown’s revenues and considerably reduced contraband trade. Nevertheless, urban changes generated an internal struggle for power for the control of the city between the Spanish loyalist and the local wealthier Creoles. As this book concludes, for an empire such as the Spanish, which was built upon a network of cities, the Crown’s loss of the control of Buenos Aires’ urban space was a serious threat to its power that foreshadowed Argentina’s wars of independence.

Book excerpt: While the concept of "type" has been present in architectural discourse since its formal introduction at the end of the eighteenth century, its role in the development of architectural projects has not been comprehensively analyzed. This book proposes a reassessment of architectural type throughout history and its impact on the development of architectural theory and practice. Beginning with Laugier's 1753 Essay on Architecture, Unexpected Affinities: The History of Type in the Architectural Project from Laugier to Duchamp traces type through nineteenth- and twentiethth-century architectural movements and thoeries, culminating in a discussion of the affinities between architectural type and Duchamp's concept of the readymade. Includes over sixty black and white images.

This new wave of modern classicism reflects a progressive approach, addressing the pressing needs of the present and future fabric of our cities, towns and landscapes. This book examines how classical - and traditional - architecture can evolve in relation to new paradigms of research and practice (digital media and fabrication, sustainability, ecology, and emerging economies). Based on recent work by leading figures associated with the University of Miami School of Architecture, and a series of design studios at the university (the William H. Harrison Visiting Critics in Classical Architecture), the book redefines the new classical discourse in terms of popular, professional, and academic appeal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro surge de un encuentro científico en la Alhambra acerca de la conveniencia de organizar un "convegno" en torno al palacio de Carlos V y de forma más concreta sobre el papel del patio circular, "il cortile tondo", en la arquitectura del Renacimiento. Aquella propuesta tuvo el apoyo inmediato del Patronato de la Alhambra y la Universidad Internacional de Andalucía. Fue organizado por el proyecto de investigación europeo RENEU. Entre la casa de Mantegna en Mantua y el palacio de la Alhambra una constelación de proyectos por toda Europa invitaban a una reflexión sobre este tipo compositivo que tiene en el palacio imperial una de las mayores referencias en su época.

Download or read book El Lenguaje Cl sico de la Arquitectura written by John Summerson and published by . This book was released on 2015-09 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La arquitectura clásica es un lenguaje visual y, como tal, tiene sus propias normas gramaticales. Con esta premisa de partida, John Summerson nos introduce en los fundamentos y los orígenes de la arquitectura clásica y, por medio de un recorrido histórico, pone de manifiesto el sustrato clásico que se esconde en la arquitectura desde la Antigüedad hasta los tiempos modernos. Este libro compila seis programas radiofónicos emitidos por la BBC que Summerson realizó en 1963 para explicar la arquitectura clásica al gran público en un momento en el que la arquitectura moderna se encontraba en plena crisis. Académico erudito y experto en arquitectura británica, Summerson no solo fue capaz de aunar rigor y nivel divulgativo, sino que, a través de estos breves ensayos, ofreció una visión totalmente nueva de la arquitectura clásica que rápidamente se propagó y fue adoptada como uno de los argumentos de la arquitectura posmoderna. Esta nueva edición, totalmente revisada y con un nuevo diseño, vuelve a poner en valor todo un referente de la crítica de la arquitectura del siglo xx.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 2 of History of Construction Cultures contains papers presented at the 7ICCH – Seventh International Congress on Construction History, held at the Lisbon School of Architecture, Portugal, from 12 to 16 July, 2021. The conference has been organized by the Lisbon School of Architecture (FAUL), NOVA School of Social Sciences and Humanities, the Portuguese Society for Construction History Studies and the University of the Azores. The contributions cover the wide interdisciplinary spectrum of Construction History and consist on the most recent advances in theory and practical case studies analysis, following themes such as: - epistemological issues; - building actors; - building materials; - building machines, tools and equipment; - construction processes; - building services and techniques ; -structural theory and analysis ; - political, social and economic aspects; - knowledge transfer and cultural translation of construction cultures. Furthermore, papers presented at thematic sessions aim at covering important problematics, historical periods and different regions of the globe, opening new directions for Construction History research. We are what we build and how we build; thus, the study of Construction History is now more than ever at the centre of current debates as to the shape of a sustainable future for humankind. Therefore, History of Construction Cultures is a critical and indispensable work to expand our understanding of the ways in which everyday building activities have been perceived and experienced in different cultures, from ancient times to our century and all over the world.

Download or read book Teotihuacan and Early Classic Mesoamerica written by Claudia García-Des Lauriers and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2022-02-14 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Early Classic period in Mesoamerica has been characterized by the appearance of Teotihuacan-related material culture throughout the region. Teotihuacan, known for its monumental architecture and dense settlement, became an urban center around 100 BC and a regional state over the next few centuries, dominating much of the Basin of Mexico and beyond until its collapse around AD 650. Teotihuacan and Early Classic Mesoamerica explores the complex nature of Teotihuacan’s interactions with other regions from both central and peripheral vantage points. The volume offers a multiscalar view of power and identity, showing that the spread of Teotihuacan-related material culture may have resulted from direct and indirect state administration, colonization, emulation by local groups, economic transactions, single-event elite interactions, and various kinds of social and political alliances. The contributors explore questions concerning who interacted with whom; what kinds of materials and ideas were exchanged; what role interregional interactions played in the creation, transformation, and contestation of power and identity within the city and among local polities; and how interactions on different scales were articulated. The answers to these questions reveal an Early Classic Mesoamerican world engaged in complex economic exchanges, multidirectional movements of goods and ideas, and a range of material patterns that require local, regional, and macroregional contextualization. Focusing on the intersecting themes of identity and power, Teotihuacan and Early Classic Mesoamerica makes a strong contribution to the understanding of the role of this important metropolis in the Early Classic history of the region. The volume will be of interest to scholars and graduate students of Mesoamerican archaeology, the archaeology of interaction, and the archaeology of identity. Contributors: Sarah C.
