Brunelleschi (Paperback)
Language: English
Published by Dover Publications Inc., New York, 2004
ISBN 10: 0486434648 ISBN 13: 9780486434643
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Comprehensive book describes how Filippo Brunelleschi built the dome of Florence's famed cathedral: masonry techniques, construction concepts, and more. A pioneer of Italian Renaissance architecture, Filippo Brunelleschi (13771446) is most famous for his daring and original ideas, among them the magnificent dome of Florence's famed cathedral - Santa Maria del Fiore. For the project, which was started in 1420 and substantially completed by 1434, Brunelleschi designed a huge dome without supporting framework. The construction took place during much of his lifetime and formed the basis of Italian architecture of the period. Complemented by 28 photographs and 18 line illustrations, this comprehensive narrative describes Brunelleschi's many remarkable achievements, among them masonry techniques for building the cupola; construction concepts, including the use of stone and wood chains; machines he devised and built (a reversible hoist and elevated cranes); and other inventions. Of value to students of architecture and engineering, this volume will appeal to anyone with an interest in Renaissance studies. Comprehensive book describes how Filippo Brunelleschi built the dome of Florence's famed cathedral: masonry techniques, construction concepts, and more. 28 halftones. 18 line illustrations. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Hardcover. 9" X 6 1/4". xii, 230pp. Mild rubbing, bumps, and shelf wear to covers, corners, and edges of paper over boards. Dust-spotting to edges of text block. Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: On Engines, dated 1433, is an early and previously unknown treatise on engineering which was prepared for King Sigismund's arrival in Siena as he traveled to Rome for rites of coronation. Mariano Taccola has been described as a designer of military devices, but the drawings and texts of De ingeneis show his interest in the field of technology to encompass far more than the machines of attack and defense. He deals actively, at times creatively, with bridges and their foundations, with harbors, harbor equipment for the loading of freight, aqueducts both above and below ground, equipment for operating the wells at the end of an aqueduct, mill houses, and the machines and power plants associated with them. The numerous figures and landscapes that accompany his texts also reveal Taccola to be an interesting and original Sienese artist. He portrays human figures in situations that seldom appear in the major arts, and the nature studies among the vignettes beside his texts are distinctive to his art. As in a previous study of Brunelleschi's technology and inventions (MIT Press 1970), the authors represent different viewpoints in their analysis; Frank Prager, the history of technology, and Gustina Scaglia, the history of art. Together they have transcribed and translated the Latin texts and indicated the original form of De ingeneis from manuscripts in two libraries. They have summarized as much as is known about Taccola, whose work earned him the name of "the Sienese Archimedes," and have evaluated his achievements as writer, graphic artist, and engineer.(Publisher).
