Text in English and German. 2 Books in slipcase. Karl Friedrich Schinkel called his designs for a palace on the Acropolis in Athens and for Orianda Castle in the Crimea a 'beautiful dream'. They date from 1834 and 1838 and were Schinkel's last major projects, in which he presented his ideal of architecture in brilliant drawings and watercolours, as if in a last will and testament. Both the formal language of neo-Classical architecture and the quality of presentation are brought to a level here that can scarcely be surpassed. It is clear how highly Schinkel himself esteemed these two unrealized designs from the fact that he had them printed as coloured lithographs in his publication 'Werke der hoheren Baukunst fur die Ausfuhrung erfunden' (Potsdam 1840 to 1942). These lithographs are reprinted in a large format for the first time here, complemented by the no less spectacular lithographs of the two Pliny villas, Tusculum and Laurentinum. These works, which represent a high point in the long story of the reconstruction of the two villas that have come down to us only in literature, also show Schinkel's impressive ability to demonstrate and convey his architectural ideas. He is profoundly concerned, both in the reconstructions of the Pliny villas and in the designs for the royal palace on the Acropolis and Orianda Castle to be archaeologically precise and to fulfil prescribed building programmes, but also to plumb the possibilities of architecture beyond mere utility. For the Acropolis palace project he had his eye mainly on the way in which the new building would interact with the surviving remains of the Propylaea and the Parthenon. In the Orianda project it is a glazed observation pavilion in the form of a temple that expresses architecture's perception of itself more clearly than perhaps ever before.

Book Description Sonstige Video. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Als einen 'schönen Traum' bezeichnete Karl Friedrich Schinkel seine Entwürfe für eine Palastanlage auf der Akropolis in Athen und für das Schloss Orianda auf der Insel Krim. 1834 und 1838 entstanden, sind es die letzten großen Projekte Schinkels, in denen dieser wie in einem Vermächtnis sein Ideal von Architektur in brillanten Zeichnungen und Aquarellen darstellte. Sowohl die Formensprache der klassizistischen Architektur als auch die Qualität der Darstellung sind hier auf ein kaum zu überbietendes Niveau gebracht. Wie hoch Schinkel diese unausgeführt gebliebenen Entwürfe einschätzte, zeigt sich darin, dass er sie in seiner Publikation Werke der höheren Baukunst für die Ausführung erfunden (Potsdam 1840-42) in kolorierten Lithographien drucken ließ. Diese Lithographien werden hier in großformatigen Reproduktionen vorgestellt, ergänzt um die nicht minder spektakulären Rekonstruktionen der beiden Plinius-Villen, Tuscum und Laurentinum. Auch in diesen We rken, die einen Höhepunkt in der langen Geschichte der Rekonstruktionen der beiden nur literarisch überlieferten Villen bilden, beweist Schinkel seine eindrucksvolle Fähigkeit der Darstellung und Vermittlung seiner architektonischen Ideen. Denn bei den Rekonstruktionen der Plinius-Villen geht es Schinkel, wie bei den Entwürfen für den Königspalast auf der Akropolis und für das Schloss Orianda, neben der archäologischen Exaktheit und dem Erfüllen von vorgegebenen Bauprogrammen darum, die Möglichkeiten von Architektur jenseits der reinen Utilität auszuloten. Beim Schlossprojekt auf der Akropolis liegt sein Hauptaugenmerk auf der Interaktion des Neubaus mit den erhaltenen Resten der Propyläen und des Parthenon. Beim Orianda-Projekt ist es ein die Anlage bekrönender verglaster Aussichtspavillon in Form eines Tempels, in dem das Selbstverständnis von Architektur so deutlich ausgesprochen ist wie vielleicht nie zuvor.
