Owen Jones y la Alhambra / Juan Calatrava, Mariam Rosser-Owen, Abraham Thomas, Rémi Labrusse.

Granada : Patronato de la Alhambra y Generalife, [2011]

191 pages : illustrations ; 26 cm

On his two visits to Granada (1834 and 1837), Jones saw the Alhambra as a treatise on architecture, one that provided clues to the laws governing ornament and color. At the Alhambra, Jones developed his ambition to integrate the Islamic legacy with contemporary culture, a goal he pursued throughout his lengthy career as an architect and decorator. Jones studied the monument in detail, producing drawings, plans, tracings and even plaster casts. The fruit of this work was Plans, Elevations, Sections and Details of the Alhambra, published in two volumes in 1842 and 1845.
