Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The great German neoclassical architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel (1781-1841) is one of the pivotal figures in architectural history; his public buildings, palaces, luxurious interiors, and opera sets remain an important influence on architecture today. Schinkel produced almost all of his most famous works -- in effect, creating prototypes for nineteenth century public architecture -- during his 1815-41 tenure at the Prussian state architectural service. During this period, often referred to as the Schinkelzeit in his honor, the monarchy under King Friedrich Wilhelm III and enlightened state administrators came together to form a grand and powerful new Prussia. This first monograph in English gives a long-awaited appraisal of Schinkel as he forged a new syntax of architecture and a new definition of the architect's place in society"-- Front flap.

Download or read book Karl Friedrich Schinkel Charlottenhof Potsdam Sanssouci written by Heinz Schönemann and published by Edition Axel Menges. This book was released on 1997 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the small farmstead in the south-western corner of Sanssouci park came up for sale in 1825, Hofmarschall von Maltzahn wrote to the King of Prussia to say that the grounds of Sanssouci would be much improved by the addition of this plot. It was clear that Peter Joseph Lenne, who produced a first plan for the garden as soon as the land was presented to the Crown Prince, later King Friedrich Wilhelm IV, was behind the letter. Schinkel, the architect of Charlottenhof, and Lenne, the designer of the surrounding park, had met in 1816 when they were working for Chancellor Hardenberg in Glienicke, between Berlin and Potsdam. They established a community of interest that architecture critics have compared with the best years of cooperation between John Nash and Humphry Repton. Charlottenhof became the highlight of their joint activities. The palace, set on a severe garden axis, was built from 1826 to 1829. It was followed from 1829 to 1840 by the freely developing area of the Hofgartnerhaus and its adjacent facilities, all of which has become known as the 'Roman Baths'. The Crown Prince involved himself in the planning process, contributing over 100 sketches. He called Charlottenhof 'my Siam', understood as a synonym for a better world, and he was pursuing with it his intention of presenting his own future style of government, based on romantic theories of the state and striving for a harmonious balance of all classes and interests. Charlottenhof is Schinkel's only work to have survived complete inside and outside, surrounded by Lenne's landscape garden, which has also been carefully looked after and preserved. In his role as the foundation's curator Heinz Schonemann isresponsible for the preservation of the buildings and monuments of the Stiftung Preussische Schlosser und Garten Berlin-Brandenburg. Reinhard Gorner has been working as an architectural photographer for more than a decade. He is highly thought of by many major architects as an interpre

Book excerpt: K. F. Schinkel (Prussia, 1781-Berlin, 1841) was appointed Surveyor to the Prussian Building Commission shortly after the Franco-Prussian war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Neoclassicism's most prominent exponent in Prussia, Karl Friedrich Schinkel is revered today for his reshaping of Berlin as Prussia's capital, and for catalyzing the Greek Revival in Germany. Most of Berlin's most famous Neoclassical structures are his doing--the Neue Wache, the Schauspielhaus, the Gendarmenmarkt and the Altes Museum, for example. His Bauakademie of 1836 is even considered by many to foreshadow the austerity and clean lines of German Modernist architecture. But Schinkel is equally revered for his legacy of architectural drawing and unbuilt works, gathered (from the Schinkel archives) herein, making this book the definitive Schinkel primer."--

Book excerpt: Always the canvas recoils when he tries to apply the brush. How can hope be made apparent if he doesn't succeed in putting the white dove into the painting? Brentano's smile was so friendly when he, Schinkel, had made a sketch in his notebook of Brentano's impromptu story even while it was being told. And now, in oil, almost ready on the easel, he can't reach the painting with his brush ... In his feverish dreams, Schinkel struggles to complete his painting "Castle By The River"; on his sick bed, he relives his fulfilled life marked by an overwhelming sense of duty and the tragedy of the architect and artist who became a servant of his king.
Download or read book Schinkel written by Kurt W. Forster and published by Birkhaüser. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 19th-century German architect and artist, Karl Friedrich Schinkel, was among the great personalities in the world of architecture. Classicism and Romanticism moved towards Modern Architecture in his buildings; his Collection of Architectural Designs led the way to our contemporary understanding of the work of the architect; and as a state master building he shaped the architectural culture of his time. A universal scholar and versatile artist, Schinkel led an intensive, if not boundless exchange with the society and the developments of the 19th century. The (equally) ingenious portrayal by one of the most renowned art and architectural historians of our time displays in richly illustrated thematic chapters the dialogue between Schinkel as a person, his oeuvre and his cultural world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Text in English and German. Authored by two generations of Schinkel, scholars, this collection of essays on Karl Friedrich Schinkel was developed from lectures presented at 'Schinkel 2000', the Friends of Schinkel's first Triennial. 'Schinkel 2000' was held in cooperation with the Stiftung PreuBische Schlosser und Garten Berlin-Brandenburg in June 2000 at SchloB Lindstedt in Potsdam. The publication furthers the Friends of Schinkel's mission of creating global bridges among Schinkel scholars, and between scholars and practitioners. The year 1981, the bicentennial year of Schinkel's birth, witnessed a Schinkel revival both in Germany and abroad. Twenty years later, even greater scholarly and public interest in the master's contributions to painting, the decorative arts, architecture, and town-planning propels his extraordinary legacy into the new millennium. The more closely we examine Schinkel's works, the more fully we understand the importance of this cultural heritage. There is perhaps no single architect who fragments Absolutist constructs with a greater sense of poetry, transparency, and moral dignity than Schinkel.Although the materials of building, the time, and context may change, it is unlikely that any new pretence to avant-gardism (be it the belief in pure technology, or its dialectical relationship with 'Deconstructivism') can convincingly replace the classical tradition that has continued to critically define and refine itself for, at least, the past 2500 years. Schinkel's best work is superbly representative of this on-going Western tradition. The essays presented here are written by leading Schinkel scholars and address a variety of topics, including Schinkel's influence on 20th century architecture and urban planning. The contributors are Martina Abri, Stanford Anderson, Frank Augustin, Ernst Badstubner, Barry Bergdoll, Rand Carter, Emanuele Fidone, Erik Forssman, Ralf F Hartmann, Andreas Kahlow, Hans-Joachim Kunst, Jean-Francois Lejeune, Goerd Peschken, Klaus Jan Philipp, Heinz Schonemann, and Michael Seiler.
