Paperback. Condition: New. Rome is where the history of European architecture was written. The foundations were laid in ancient Roman times when the first attempts were made to design interiors which could be experienced as something physical. Ancient Roman architects also started to develop building types that are still valid today, thus creating the cornerstone of later Western architecture. This guide has been arranged chronologically. Every epoch is preceded by an introduction that identifies its key features. This produces a continuous, lavishly illustrated history of the architecture of Rome, indeed, the whole of the West. The book includes an alphabetical index and detailed maps, whose information does not just immediately illustrate the historical picture, but also makes it possible to choose a personal route through history. In order to clarify the historical development, the key buildings of each period and other major works are emphasised both in the text and on the maps.

Softcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. Architekten und Kunstler haben im Laufe der Jahrhunderte die Bedeutung Roms als >>ewige Stadt<< anerkannt. Rom bleibt zeitlos und jung, gepragt von uber 2000 Jahren Architekturgeschichte. Bereits in der Antike wurden die Grundlagen fur die Gestaltung von Innenraumen gelegt, und romische Architekten entwickelten Gebaudetypen, die bis heute relevant sind. Roms Einfluss auf die westliche Architektur ist ungebrochen, sei es durch den alten Petersdom oder den neuen, der von Bramante und Michelangelo in der Hochrenaissance gestaltet wurde, sowie durch die Werke von Bernini und Borromini, die die Architektur bis nach Wien und Bohmen pragten. Louis Kahn, ein bedeutender Architekt des 20. Jahrhunderts, erkannte die anhaltende Grosse Roms. In der Ewigen Stadt entstanden in den letzten drei Jahrzehnten zentrale Gebaude, darunter Museen und Veranstaltungszentren von renommierten Architekten wie Renzo Piano, Jean Nouvel und Zaha Hadid. Der Leitfaden zur Architektur Roms ist chronologisch gegliedert, was eine klare Darstellung der historischen Entwicklung ermoglicht. Jede Epoche wird mit einer Einleitung versehen, die ihre wichtigsten Merkmale hervorhebt. Dies schafft eine reich illustrierte Geschichte der Architektur, die durch ein alphabetisches Register und detaillierte Karten erganzt wird. Diese Informationen veranschaulichen nicht nur das historische Bild, sondern ermoglichen auch individuelle Erkundungen durch die Geschichte. Wichtige.

Hardback. Condition: New. "This book is an attempt at architectural criticism" that is how Robert Venturi opened the discussion on Post-Modernism in architecture in Complexity and Contradiction in Architecturea generation ago. And this was a typical beginning. Criticism of the Modern movement by architects like Le Corbusier Mies van der Rohe and to extent Frank Lloyd Wright as well that had preceded it was central to Post-Modernism. Soon the architectural historians joined in with the architects, particularly Charles Jencks in the English-speaking world and Heinrich Klotz in Germany. Here too Post-Modern-ism was the start, with three fundamental critical points about Modernism: fundamental emptiness of its architecture, its lack of relation to its surroundings and its overemphasis of functionalism against decoration. And so, even if one does not use pamphlets like Tom Wolfe's or Jencks' early work as a yardstick, the image of the buildings by what are still the best-known architects of our century is strongly overshadowed. The truth is that the International Style reflects the basic forces that architecture can express extraordinarily impressively and al-ways with decided interplay, and thus also with a pronounced unity of effect; and additionally it develops these formal values especially intensively from content. Traditionally such things are called classical. What followed this, the whole spectrum of styles from late Modernism via High-Tech and Deconstructivism to Post-Modernism is all a reaction to the unity of the International Style: either one point in terms of form or content is taken out, exaggerated and thus made into its opposite, or such a point is consciously negated. Until now this phenomenon has been known as Mannerism to art historians. What is characteristic of Baroque as the period after High Renaissance Classicism and Mannerism is less clear; in any case, entirely positive aspects of both found their way into Baroque, and undoubtedly the latter is closer to High Re-naissance Classicism in spirit than to Mannerism. Cannot similar things be seen in the last bare decade of architectural develop-ment? The foundations for this book were laid during a good year's re-search at the University of California in Berkeley. The author now holds a chair at the Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg.
