Originally published in 1756, "A treatise on civil architecture" is an architecture handbook in which Chambers explains the basics of the art of building, aiming "to collect into one volume what is now dispersed in a great many, and to select, from mountains of promiscuous Materials, a Series of Sound Precepts and good Designs." The guidebook is supplemented by texts andl illustrations of classical building types and their functions. Received with considerable acclaim upon its release, "A treatise on civil architecture" quickly became the most popular practical work on architecture in the English language and has since been republished several times.

Summary:
Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio was one of the most influential figures that the field of architecture has ever produced. For classical architects, the term Palladian stands for a vocabulary of architectural forms embodying perfection and beauty. Of even greater significance than Palladio's buildings is his treatise I quattro libri dell'architettura (The Four Books On Architecture), the most successful architectural treatise of the Renaissance and one of the two or three most important books in the literature of architecture. This is the first English translation of Palladio in over 250 years, making it the only translation available in modern English. This new translation by Robert Tavernor and Richard Schofield contains Palladio's original woodcuts, reproduced in facsimile and positioned correctly, adjacent to the text. The book also contains a glossary that explains technical terms in their original context, a bibliography of recent Palladio research, and an introduction to Palladio and his times.

One of the greatest mathematicians and engineers of his day, Simon Stevin (1548-1620) is probably best known for popularizing decimal fractions. But few people know about his interest in architecture, as documented in "De Huysbou", a project that occupied the last twenty years of Stevin's life.

Les études sélectionnées dans cet ouvrage s’attachent à saisir dans ses constituants particuliers, mais aussi comme ensemble, cette problématique complexe. Elles la situent dans un contexte historique, socio-culturel, scientifique et technique déterminé, dans le système plus précisément aussi d’une pensée antique aux postulats parfois radicalement différents des nôtres et intégrant dans une vision globale ses interrogations sur l’homme et sur le monde. La démarche critique choisie associe à une enquête conceptuelle une enquête linguistique tendant à identifier l’interdépendance établie dans le De Architectura entre un projet d’auteur et le langage qui lui donne corps.

Summary:
Ce livre est la traduction de la 2e édition de "Einführung in die Geschichte der Architekturtheorie" parue en 1987. En tant que discipline, la théorie de l'architecture se situe d'abord dans le champ de la littérature artistique et se manifeste par des traités autant que par des chroniques, des pamphlets, des textes romanesques, voire des utopies. La tradition scientifique du traité remonte aux "Dix livres de l'architecture" de l'ingénieur-architecte Vitruve, ouvrage dédié à l'empereur Auguste. En Italie, en France, en Angleterre et en Allemagne, le discours lettré sur l'architecture répercute jusqu'au XIXe siècle l'écho du texte fondateur. D'où cette affirmation, cette amplification et ce déclin du vitruvianisme en tant que doctrine cardinale, sujette aux remises en cause de l'histoire. Partant de ce texte fondateur, le livre proposé examine le retentissement de Vitruve sur la théorie de l'architecture au Moyen Age, à la Renaissance et dans les Temps Modernes. Emanant de cours et de séminaires donnés à l'Université de Bâle, et donc destiné à l'enseignement, il propose un aperçu de l'exégèse vitruvienne et vise à mettre en place des jalons qui renvoient à la lecture des textes.

Summary:
Recognized in his own time for extraordinary architectural achievements, Leon Battista Alberti (14041472) five hundred years after his death continues to influence the practice and theory of architecture. This book is the first full-scale study of Alberti's life and architecture in more than a quarter century. Robert Tavernor provides a biographical account of the Italian architect and a detailed consideration of each of the building projects with which he was involved. With new reconstructions of Alberti's buildings and new interpretations of his design intentions, this book will fascinate every reader with an interest in Renaissance architecture. From Alberti's supreme knowledge of the thought and buildings of antiquity, he developed a set of writings on science and the visual arts, including his important treatise on architecture, De re aedificatoria. In this volume, Tavernor examines Alberti's architectural writings and his practical example, his relations with his patrons, how he extended his theory into practice through major building projects across Italy, and how he succeeded in raising the status of architecture to an art-one that sought harmony with the natural world. Focusing on the analysis of Alberti's buildings, the author sets each in historical context; provides a building history; and considers source material, proportional systems, and iconography. He concludes the book with a fresh view of Alberti's theory and practice and a summary of his design process.
