Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Una rassegna di riflessioni e di documenti sui temi della storia del giardino e del paesaggio non sempre indagati nei manuali della storia del "verde". Una prima parte è dedicata ai giardini europei considerati nel loro contesto storico e paesaggistico a partire dal giardino dell'antichità e del medioevo per poi passare ai giardini delle ville medicee e alla loro fortuna europea. Seguono capitoli sulla formazione degli orti botanici, sui giardini principeschi dell'età barocca, quelli dell'Arcadia, di Capodimonte, sui parchi delle città termali degli Asburgo Lorena, e sui giardini borghesi nella Berlino del primo Novecento, fino all'esperienza di Pietro Porcinai. Quattro capitoli sulle feste nei giardini compongono la seconda parte, mentre la terza contiene approfondimenti sul giardino pensile di Babilonia, gli acquedotti, l'archeologia, le grotte, e i vasi in terracotta. Un ricco apparato iconografico con immagini spesso inedite favorisce e accompagna la lettura dei testi nei quali il termine "giardino" è sempre affiancato a quello di "paesaggio". Due locuzioni che a ben vedere appartengono ad una stessa radice mai nettamente separata, partecipe di un medesimo divenire.

Download or read book Pietro Porcinai and the Landscape of Modern Italy written by Marc Treib and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in Florence in 1910, Pietro Porcinai grew up on the classic grounds of the Villa Gamberaia in Settignano where his father served as head gardener. Although he studied agriculture in college, Porcinai’s true interest lay in the landscape architecture practice he founded in 1938. Early projects centered in the area of Arezzo, whose style reflected modernized traditional models. In the postwar era the office flourished, producing modern gardens of remarkable design and use of plants. In these works, Porcinai convincingly demonstrated the affinity between historical architecture and landscapes uncompromisingly modern. During his long and productive career he also consulted on autostrada planning, and designed public parks, memorials, and even a Pinocchio theme park-at times collaborating with noted architects such as Renzo Piano, Carlo Scarpa and Oscar Niemeyer. This book, the first English-language study on Pietro Porcinai provides a comprehensive and richly illustrated overview of his life and remarkable achievements.
Download or read book Iconologia ed ecologia del giardino e del paesaggio written by Eugenio Battisti and published by Olschki. This book was released on 2004 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Articoli e conferenze di Eugenio Battisti, rari o inediti, sono raccolti qui in due parti, l'una concernente il periodo dal Medioevo al Seicento, l'altra relativa a problemi urbanistici e paesaggistici dell'Otto-Novecento. Ne emerge la storia del giardino e del paesaggio, nel mutarsi delle tecniche topiarie e idrauliche e delle motivazioni culturali, per i nessi tra arti visive, letteratura, scienze naturali e agrarie, organizzazione socio-economica, crisi politiche ed ecologia. Interessato sia all'aspetto visivo artistico-architettonico dei giardini rappresentati in dipinti o tuttora esistenti, sia alle descrizioni poetiche di letterati come Petrarca, Boccaccio e gli umanisti, e delle loro fonti, specie l'Ovidio moralizzato, sia al rapporto con pratiche devozionali, laudi e inni religiosi, sia ancora alla permanenza dell'immaginario mitologico, l'autore ha applicato il metodo iconologico alla lettura di famosi testi letterari, per scoprire il reciproco interreagire di tutti questi elementi. Dal giardino analizzato come sfondo di dipinti a mo' di hortus conclusus si poté passare, secondo l'autore, al giardino come percorso, quando anche la tipologia architettonica e l'urbanistica vennero intese come soggetti suscettibili di studio iconografico, cioè come strutture simboliche significanti, quasi categorie mentali collettive inconscie. Il successivo incontro tra l'iconologia e l'ecologia, movimento moderno non altrettanto umanistico, ma di forte impegno teorico e sociale, ha favorito un atteggiamento nuovo verso la possibilità di costruire oggi giardini e di rivitalizzare la loro funzione entro il costrittivo paesaggio urbano e nella scenografia di antichi e nuovi parchi tutelati dalla legge.

Download or read book Art of the Landscape written by Raffaele Milani and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2009-04-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aesthetics deals with art, a human construction, but what one experiences when placed before nature is also an aesthetic feeling - the countryside is a place of reflection like no other. In The Art of the Landscape, Raffaele Milani interprets natural landscapes as an aesthetic category. Drawing from philosophical traditions, literature, and art, he calls the reader's attention to a special consciousness, originally established during the pre-Romantic age, that has become a distinctive feature of contemporary spirituality. Focusing on the definition of landscapes in relation to the concepts of nature, environment, territory, and man-made settings such as gardens and cities, Milani examines the origins of the predilection for natural scenery in the works of landscape painters and in travel literature. He addresses the distinctness of the aesthetic experience of landscapes, analyses the role of aesthetic categories, and explores landscape art as a medium of contemplation. What emerges is an original morphology of natural beauty derived from the scrutiny of landscape elements most frequently associated with aesthetic emotion - the colour of water and the sky, earth and stones, fire and volcanic eruptions, ruins and the mountains - an analysis especially relevant given the increasing fragility of our natural environment.

Book excerpt: Looking at knowledge transmission as a cultural feature, this book isolates and examines the individual factors that affect knowledge in the making and created uniquely Chinese cultures of knowledge. The volume is organized into four sections: Internode, Imperial Court, Agora, and Scholarly Arts. Each has a theoretical introduction, followed by two core contributions from experts in Chinese history. The section concludes with a ‘reflection’ by a historian of Western Technology who scrutinizes each sphere and identifies the points that reflect universal technological experience. The combination of broadly sketched theoretical introductions and detailed core contributions provides an unparalleled insight into pre-modern Chinese history from the Song to early Qing dynasty, revealing Chinese attitudes towards innovation and invention.
Download or read book Gardens Knowledge and the Sciences in the Early Modern Period written by Hubertus Fischer and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2016-06-03 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on the outstanding contributions made by botany and the mathematical sciences to the genesis and development of early modern garden art and garden culture. The many facets of the mathematical sciences and botany point to the increasingly “scientific” approach that was being adopted in and applied to garden art and garden culture in the early modern period. This development was deeply embedded in the philosophical, religious, political, cultural and social contexts, running parallel to the beginning of processes of scientization so characteristic for modern European history. This volume strikingly shows how these various developments are intertwined in gardens for various purposes.
Download or read book Politics and Culture in 18th Century Anglo Italian Encounters written by Lidia De Michelis and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection addresses Anglo-Italian influences, correspondences and relationships through the lens of an expansive notion of eighteenth-century political history, explored in its fecund dialogue with cultural history. Its multifaceted approach fleshes out the idea of the Enlightenment community of people linking and sharing different forms and structures of knowledge into a comprehensive picture of the Age of Reason. This book probes fields of great relevance for the cultural interpretation of historical experience, and composes a lively, and as yet unexplored, map of an interconnected European world. Anglo-Italian encounters are explored here primarily through the interweaving of political and cultural history, adding a valuable cog to contemporary insight into the cosmopolitan nature of Enlightenment Europe. The essays here range in scope from the public economy and international trade to finance, moral philosophy, the ethics and politics of translation, travel, the cosmopolitan impact of Italian music and taste, and the art of gardening.

Download or read book AgriCultura written by Lionella Scazzosi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-09-02 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains how cultural heritage can be a tool for enhancing urban agriculture and improving landscape and life quality. It cuts across the existing literature and fills the gaps between urban agriculture, considered as a food, social and environmental opportunity and cultural heritage, considered as resource. It focuses the role of the countryside for urban areas, in the history of the city and today. Its attention is on the quality for all areas, both outstanding, ordinary and degraded, as well as large, little or fragmented (European landscape convention 2000). It considers agricultural landscape as a system of tangible and intangible heritage components and relationships, to be retained, enhanced and transmit, in a process of inevitable but appropriate dynamic conservation and management over time (ICOMOS-IFLA Principles 2017). This book can benefit the collaboration among local players – such as farmers, citizens, associations, public institutions, stakeholders – in conserving and enhancing agrarian heritage and reinforcing the identity of places and people. It can strengthen collective action and generate positive effects on good large and local -scale management. The first part has a methodological character in order to enlighten the integrated approach between cultural heritage and urban agriculture. The second part exemplifies cases where the heritage has been recognised but not yet translated into concrete action. The third Part discloses ongoing process of co-construction, where policies have recognized the cultural, environmental and social meaning of urban agriculture as heritage. This book aims to reach scholars, local administrations, professionals, farmers and citizens. It involves many authors, many of whom are directly engaged with action-research in safeguarding and implementing the mutual interaction between urban agriculture activities and agrarian heritage.
