Summary:
In this study, Tracy Ehrlich analyses the Villa Mondragone, built by Pope Paul V Borghese in an effort to demonstrate how architecture, landscape and rituals of villeggiatura (villa life) were used to forge a new identity as a Roman noble house. She also explores the relationship between landscape and identity and, in so doing, reevaluates the conventional privileging of(...)

Summary:
"Architecture of the nineteenth century", issued in the "History of world Architecture" series, offers a complete survey of European architecture during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, examining in particular the influence of the cultural trends of the period on the architects’ works. The first section of the book deals with the history of eighteenth-century architecture in France and England, countries where Cartesian-school philosophical speculation and Anglo-Saxon philosophical empiricism wielded a determining influence. After analysing the developments of the classical tradition and its propagation throughout Europe, the book studies in depth the history of architectural movements, comprising neo-classicism, neo-Renaissance and neo-Gothic architecture. The outstanding, forerunning personalities of this brilliant artistic period who, in the course of the nineteenth century, offered fecund theoretic and stylistic contributions, include Gottfried Semper, John Ruskin and Eugène Viollet-le Duc.

Summary:
La saline royale d’Arc-et-Senans est un des tout premiers monuments industriels de l’Ancien Régime. L’ampleur du parti, l’éclat artistique, le graphisme savant, le projet visionnaire : tout est exceptionnel dans cette manufacture, que son auteur rêvait d’entourer d’une ville idéale à la campagne. En renouvelant l’expression des formes, elle ennoblit une puissance financière redoutée, celle de la Ferme générale, chargée de collecter et de gérer, pour le roi, les ressources de l’impôt sur le sel, la gabelle. Mais, par le talent de son créateur, Claude-Nicolas Ledoux (1736-1806), et par la commande de Louis XV lui-même, elle est plus encore : un des symboles de la monarchie éclairée et des réformes que celle-ci promut pour enrayer la contestation dans la société des Lumières et répondre aux mutations économiques, sociales et philosophiques. Fermée à la fin du XIXe, la saline faillit périr au début du XXè siècle. Sa vie chaotique parmi les monuments historiques, jusqu’à la Vè République qui y crée un centre culturel, révèle à la fois la fascination qu’exerce son architecture, unique au monde, et la difficulté d’associer, aujourd’hui, un imaginaire historique à ses espaces.

During its years of greatest influence, it subjected every aspect of art, belief, society, and labour to intense intellectual scrutiny, using the Middle Ages as a platform from which to judge the modern world.’ It is the unique merit of "The Gothic Revival" that it gives as much attention to the ideas that gave Gothic architecture its emotional and intellectual power as it does to its great monuments. The eighteenth century admired the Gothic for its sense of decay and melancholy; the nineteenth century first cherished its religious piety, then its superb engineering. In the course of the Revival the Gothic was attached to social movements of every sort – from political liberalism to patriotic nationalism to labour reform. Like Marxism, which also drew lessons from medieval society, the Gothic Revival seemed to offer a comprehensive response to the dislocations and traumas of the Industrial Revolution. By the early twentieth century, the Gothic Revival had outlived its ideals. In recent years, however, the climate of opinion has changed, and we are ready to understand, appreciate and learn from it.

Price:

Summary:
This book offers a comprehensive account of the architecture of Florence, setting the city’s buildings within the political, economic, and cultural contexts in which they were made. The rapid expansion of its banking interests and its wool and textile industries brought Florence prosperity, and it became, under Medici power, the heart of the European Renaissance, and the sponsor of pivotal architectural works. Stretching from the city’s foundation by Julius Caesar in 59 BC to modern times, the text takes a thematic approach. It begins with a historical overview, then moves on to look at buildings associated with the powers of Church and State, followed by the practicalities of building and the main architectural types, ending with modern developments. Buildings covered range from the Duomo, with Brunelleschi’s cupola, and the Palazzo Pitti, to neighbourhood churches and piazzas. Landmark modernist buildings include those by architect Pier Luigi Nervi. The visual wealth of the city is reflected in specially commissioned photography, while original plans and paintings by Florentine masters emphasize the historical context. In addition to a glossary of Italian terms and biographical notes on major figures, the book includes a foldout map with a key to the buildings discussed.

Après les transformations du XVIIe siècle qui libérèrent la ville du carcan de ses remparts et avant les grands bouleversements des révolutions, tant politiques, économiques, philosophiques qu'esthétiques, au XVIIIe la cité s'affirme par son élégance et sa beauté dans une série de places et de bâtiments publics, d'aménagements et de promenades urbaines : en ce siècle, l'urbanisme s'appelle encore embellissement. Plans, estampes, dessins, maquettes anciennes, sculptures et peintures illustrent ainsi cet âge d'or urbain, partout manifeste en Europe, de Paris à Rome, de Nancy à Lisbonne, de Rennes à Saint-Pétersbourg, Cent quatre-vingt-cinq rouvres provenant de nombreuses collections françaises et étrangères permettent ainsi d'appréhender des thèmes essentiels de l'histoire de la ville au XVIIIe siècle : la mise en scène du pouvoir (places royales, villes-résidences...), le discours sur les monuments publics (églises, hôtels de ville, fontaines), la vie économique, les bouleversements volontaires ou subis, le théâtre et la fête urbaine. Mise en images et en mots par les plus beaux esprits du temps et les pinceaux des plus talentueux vedutistes (Bellotto, Canaletto, Pannini, Guardi...), la vie de ces cités révèle ses multiples facettes dans ce catalogue richement illustré, rédigé par les plus éminents spécialistes de l'histoire des arts et de l'architecture.
