Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Architectures of European Religions European architecture. It has been suggested to him that his recent work upon the architectures of European religions would be acceptable in book form, as such an introduction, both for the student and the general reader. Although civil and domestic work are of vast importance in the history of architecture, their omission makes it possible to reduce the size of the book, and yet give a tolerably complete view of the nature of the several styles. For it is true to say that in the case of architecture, as of everything else, man has generally given his best in the service of religion. Neither can it be gainsaid that this theme has its own peculiar interest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A Short History of Architecture Europe Classic Reprint written by Russell Sturgis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Architecture, Europe It is to be remembered also that the subjects of this enquiry are in themselves full of interest. The buildings which we study are always singularly attractive and often of extreme beauty. The beauty is increased, and the attractiveness of the less beautiful is multiplied many fold by minute examination into the ways in which their builders and sculptors did their work. In the study of any fine art, gain in the power of distinguishing the better from the less good is accompanied by a still increasing power of enjoying the best. It is better to sit at home with a plan and twenty photographs, with a sense of what that architecture truly means, than it is, without that sense, to visit the cathedral itself or all the cathedrals in France. The sense of what is fine in architecture is to be gained by the study of the buildings themselves; and the more, the better. It is not too much to say, however, that a few weeks rightly spent, among the best examples and with a knowledge of what to look for, is worth many seasons of travel under other conditions. It is therefore with some confidence that this book is offered as a guide to those who would study architecture for themselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Architecture: From the Earliest Times, Its Present Condition in Europe and the United States; With a Biography of Eminent Architects, and a Glossary of Architectural Terms The perception of the beautiful, is among the noblest of God's gifts to man. When improved by culture, it diffuses over the poor wants of human nature a glory, like sunlight upon the dark and frozen earth. The peasant of the genial South, trains the jessamine over his rude porch, and beneath it, after the weary labour of the day, enjoys the stilly eve. The Swiss mountaineer hangs his picturesque chalet amid the embowering trees of his native Alps, and its beauty delights the passing traveller. With the same earnest longing for the beautiful, the man of wealth calls in the aid of Art, to decorate his more lofty dwelling-place. But not alone the home of man must minister to his love of the beautiful; the Temple, which he consecrates to the worship of his Creator, must rear its stately columns and spread its overarching vault, to form a fit sanctuary for holy thoughts and heavenward aspirations.

Download or read book Architecture Classic and Early Christian Classic Reprint written by T. Roger Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Architecture, Classic and Early Christian This handbook is intended to give such an outline of the Architecture of the Ancient World, and of that of Christen dom down to the period of the Crusades, as, without attempting to supply the minute information required by the professional student, may give a general idea of the works of the great building nations of Antiquity and the Early Christian times. Its chief object has been to place information on the subject within the reach of those persons of literary or artistic education who desire to become in some degree acquainted with Architecture. All technicalities which could be dispensed with have been accordingly excluded; and when it has been un avoidable that a technical word or phrase should occur, an explanation has been added either in the text or in the glossary; but as this volume and the companion one on Gothic and Renaissance Architecture are, in effect, two divisions of the same work, it has not been thought necessary to repeat in the glossary given with this part the words explained in that prefixed to the other. In treating so very wide a field, it has been felt that the chief prominence should be given to that great sequence of architectural styles which form the links of a chain connecting the architecture of modern Europe with the earliest specimens of the art. Egypt, Assyria, and Persia combined to furnish the foundation upon which the splendid architecture of the Greeks was based.

Download or read book Architecture Gothic and Renaissance Classic Reprint written by T. Roger Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-26 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: T. Roger Smith's Architecture Gothic and Renaissance will inform the reader on the history, features, and famous examples of great architectural works dating from the 12th century until the 18th century. The book begins where many books would end - with an illustrated glossary. Smith's decision to open Architecture Gothic and Renaissance in this way is enormously beneficial to the reader, particularly one who is not an expert in architectural terms. Following this glossary and an introduction, the book proceeds neatly through the ages, with each chapter devoted to architecture in a different part of the world. There is an examination of gothic architecture in England and continental Europe, which has been divided into geographic regions. There is also an examination of Renaissance architecture, which focuses mainly on France and Italy but also explores other parts of the world. The reader will conclude this book having gained a fairly detailed picture of European architecture in the periods highlighted. Author T. Roger Smith is nothing if not thorough. From the opening glossary the reader is made aware that this book is intended for serious study. Rarely does the book fail to provide fine details on the architectural concepts discussed. Ultimately, Architecture Gothic and Renaissance succeeds in furthering the knowledge of the reader in a relatively entertaining fashion. Those keenly interested in architecture, specifically Gothic and Renaissance works, will doubtless find this to be an enjoyable read.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Renaissance Europe No European people are more jealous or more resentful of their past than the Italians. Their history haunts them like a nightmare and is for ever asserting itself. On all sides they see reproachful reminders of the great achievements of their forbears. It is the penalty which these heirs to a rich civilization cannot escape. All they can do is to improve upon the past. The consequences are that from time to time they are spurred to frantic emulation; and a rebirth of intellectual, scientific or artistic effort is the result.

Download or read book European and Japanese Gardens written by Glenn Brown and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from European and Japanese Gardens: Papers Read Before the American Institute of Architects Only within a very recent period have architects of the United States appreciated the fact that the garden should be designed in connection with the house. To encourage and popularize this fact the Committee of Arrangements for the Thirty-fourth Annual Convention of the American Institute of Architects determined to make the subject of Gardens one of the principal topics of consideration. It was fortunate to have been able to secure papers from those who were such enthusiastic and scholarly students of the field which each presented in their papers to the Institute. The articles were read in Washington, D. C., December 14th, 1900, and they produced such a favorable impression that it was thought proper by the Board of Directors to have them, together with the illustrations, printed so that their influence would be of a more permanent value. After due consideration by the Board the publication of the material, under the supervision of the Institute, was given to The Architectural Publishing Company of Philadelphia. In the work as issued the authors have in some cases enlarged the scope of their papers and many illustrations in addition to those presented to the Institute have been inserted in the present volume.

Download or read book Architecture Classic Reprint written by P. Leslie Waterhouse and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-01-31 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: P. Leslie Waterhouse, father of the famous English art historian Sir Ellis Kirkham Waterhouse, was a man of considerable means who possessed a deep and abiding interest in architecture. In his book titled Architecture, Waterhouse explores the history of architecture through the ages. As a special treat for curious readers, his book also includes an appendix containing a comprehensive list of books for readers interested in particular branches of architectural history and fifty-nine detailed illustrations of the architectural buildings and styles he explores within the text. To grant the reader a full and complete picture of architecture through the ages, Waterhouse begins his book with the birthplace of architecture as we know it: Ancient Egypt. He then goes on to compare and contrast Egyptian architectural development with that of the Greeks, Etruscans, Romans, and Early Christians. These ancient groups set the stage for Waterhouse's further exploration as he discusses the architecture of Western Europe in Italy, France, Germany, Spain, and England. This European architecture includes hundreds of different forms and styles, including Mohammedan architecture, Romanesque architecture, Gothic architecture, and Renaissance architecture, just to name a few. Waterhouse also makes time for the more contemporary additions to this established field and devles into a detailed discussion of modern styles and structures. Architecture by P. Leslie Waterhouse is a treasure trove of architectural discussion and reference. Waterhouse explores a vast array of cultures and time periods and the styles and structures of architecture these groups use in their buildings. This book is a great read for anyone interested in architecture. It's also an interesting read for individuals intrigued by the cultures of ancient and not-so-ancient civilizations and how those cultures affected the design of structures.

This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Column and the Arch Essays on Architectural History: With Illustrations Some of these essays have been already printed, and I have to thank the proprietors of the Amer ican Architect and the Architectural Record for per mission to repeat them here; others of them ap pear now for the first time. I have brought them together with the wish to trace in sequence the main thread that binds the successive phases of European architecture, and the evolution of the two leading features of its forms, the classic order and the arch. I have passed by the Byzantine style because it was a collateral development, and outside the cycle which, beginning with Greek architecture, returned upon itself in the Renais sance. For a like reason I have touched but lightly on the Gothic, a splendid growth that structurally was the completion of the Romanesque, but, as a matter of form, was hors de ligne, like the Byzan tine, and like it had no successor; for the logical predecessor of the Renaissance was the Roman esque, and the development of the older forms was finished when that merged in the pointed Gothic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Impressions of Europe The title of this little volume might well serve for its preface also. On his first return from abroad, the novice, possibly because familiarity has some tendency to blunt intuition and dim the vividness of national contrasts, is apt to be more closely questioned about his impressions than is the veteran traveler. Such im pressions, however, while frequently they may be of value in disclosing new view-points, should, in many cases, be offered tentatively, and rather as personal opinions than finalities. Our journey was undertaken without pre-consultation of guide-books. When visit ing a famous place, first the results of observation and direct local inquiry were noted; then Baedeker and his professional brethren were consulted, but merely for corroboration or a few essential statistics. We can recommend every step of the tour herein described to those entering upon their European novitiate; indeed, we have hopes that the book, with all its limitations, may prove a convenient vade-meoum to more experi enced travelers, and help them to while away a few hours of oceanic monotony.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Triumphs of Modern Architecture: A Description of Some of the Celebrated Edifices of Modern Europe By the French general, Sebastian, in 1811. He converted it into a place d'armes; demolished countless houses; tore up the Moorish pavement of blue and white in the Court of Lions, and made a garden there like that of a guinguette at Paris. The shrubs blocked up size and space, and concealed beauties of every kind, while their roots injured the intricate vein-work of pipes which set in motion the fountains, and their leakage destroyed the lower rooms. Finally, on evacuating the Alhambra, September 17, 1812, he mined the towers, and blew up eight of them, many of which were models of Saracenic art.
