Résumé:
Livre d'architecture privée et publique, le "De architectura" de Vitruve intéresse également, dans une relation novatrice longtemps méconnue, les arts mécaniques (mécanique civile, mécanique militaire) et élargit son champ d’étude à des disciplines et thématiques diverses : hydrologie, biologie, géographie, histoire, éthique, histoire événementielle et croyances. 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.

Résumé:
« Geometria et perspectiva » de Lorenz Stoër est un ouvrage publié en 1567. Elève d’un élève de Dürer, qui quelques décennies auparavant (1525) avait posé les bases de la perspective moderne à la suite d’Alberti, Stoër n’a laissé que peu de traces dans l’histoire de l’art – en dehors de cet ouvrage inclassable ne subsistent de lui que trois recueils de dessins (souvent) répétitifs de polyèdres et quelques dessins. « Geometria et Perspectiva » ne compte que 12 feuillets (soit 24 pages), sans aucun texte ni (même) introduction : chaque feuillet reproduit en son recto une gravure d’une sorte de paysage où fragments de ruines monumentales voûtées (peut-être antiques), arbres et plantes, ornements en courbes et contrecourbes en formes de S ou de C, et corps géométriques en forme de polyèdres se trouvent superposés au sein d’une perspective générale défiant les lois « naturelles » régissant la mise en oeuvre d’une profondeur de champ supposée reproduire la vision d’un paysage. Probablement liées à la pratique de la marqueterie, ces planches étranges sont fascinantes en ce qu’elles offrent à voir des paysages totalement imaginaires dont les « fausses perspectives » ne sont pas sans rappeler l’oeuvre bien ultérieure de M. C. Escher.

Résumé:
"Vitruvius on Architecture" presents not only a new translation of the five books most relevant to contemporary architecture but also new drawings and watercolors that illustrate, certainly for the first time since ancient days, Vitruvius’s methods of proportion and composition. Architect and educator Thomas Gordon Smith re-created these finely detailed illustrations directly from the text, both the clearly written descriptions and examples of temple architecture are cited. Photographs of these buildings and details of their architecture are also included in this volume. The author, in an introduction both scholarly and personal, discusses what is known of Vitruvius himself as well as his influence generations of architects. This new edition of an ancient tome is intended for practical application, as an indispensable reference for classical studies, and as an incontrovertible example of the enduring value of the architecture of antiquity for contemporary education and practice.

Résumé:
The only full treatise on architecture and its related arts to survive from classical antiquity, the "Architectura libri decem" ("Ten Books of Architecture") is the single most important work of architectural history in the Western world, having shaped humanist architecture and the image of the architect from the Renaissance to the present. Extremely influential in the formation of the medieval and modern concept of a broad liberal arts education as the basis for responsible professionals, this work is remarkable also because over half of its content deals with aspects of Hellenistic art, science, and technology, music theory, law, artillery, siege machinery, proportion and philosophy, among other topics. This new, critical edition of Vitruvius' "Ten Books of Architecture" is the first to be published for an English-language audience in more than half a century.

Résumé:
Sebastiano Serlio (1475-1554) was the most important architectural writer and theorist of the sixteenth century; despite this, his writings have been virtually inaccessible until now. This translation of Serlio's five-volume treatise--he died before publishing two further volumes--replaces the only other English version, one that was produced in 1611 from an inaccurate Dutch translation of the Italian original. Vaughan Hart and Peter Hicks, working directly from Serlio's own corrected editions, here provide new access to his highly influential treatise. Serlio introduced northern Europe to the principles of classical design. When Christopher Wren was building St. Paul's Cathedral and when John Wood designed the streets of Bath, for example, both architects had Serlio's books on hand. Serlio begins with the rules of geometry and perspective, and continues with a description of the ornamental splendor of the baths, temples, arches, and palaces of ancient Rome. He includes advice on how to incorporate classical features into interior designs. In an innovative discussion of Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian columns, to which he added Composite, Serlio established a canon of Five Orders that held authority for over a century. He illustrates the use of these orders in twelve temple designs. Serlio's attempt to codify the rules of a design language that utilized tradition while facilitating invention mirrors similar efforts by architects in the twentieth century to establish an architectural order through rules governing proportion and form. Serlio's beautiful woodcut illustrations are reproduced in this edition, which also includes a thorough introduction, commentary, and glossary of terms.

Résumé:
Vitruvius' Ten Books of Architecture was the fountainhead of architectural theory in the Italian Renaissance. Offering theoretical and practical solutions to a wide variety of architectural issues, this treatise did not, however, address all of the questions that were of concern to early modern architects. This study examines the Italian Renaissance architect's efforts to negotiate between imitation and reinvention of classicism. Through a close reading of Vitruvius and texts written during the period 1400-1600, Alina Payne identifies ornament as the central issue around which much of this debate focused.
