Book Description
A comienzos del siglo XVI las funciones del arquitecto y del ingeniero no sólo estaban unidas, sino que a menudo sus profesiones correspondientes se denominaban con términos intercambiables. Alberto Durero, como hicieron Leonardo o Miguel Ángel, también se interesó por la dependencia entre la edificación de fortificaciones y la urbanística y por las propiedades estéticas de la construcción abastionada. Esta idea amplia y creativa del «arte de la guerra» le movería a estampar en octubre de 1527 su Tratado de arquitectura y urbanismo militar, el último escrito personal que vio editado en vida, seis meses antes de fallecer. El Tratado es la primera obra impresa sobre la adaptación de perímetros defensivos a las necesidades de la guerra moderna, esto es, al desafío de las armas pesadas de fuego. Se ocupa tanto del asiento ex novo de fortalezas y ciudades como de la fortificación de núcleos urbanos y burgos preexistentes. Su publicación pionera puso fin al secretismo imperante en la ingeniería de la época, dando a la luz un volumen consagrado a divulgar de la manera más clara posible los principios rectores de la arquitectura militar. La presente es la primera edición crítica del Tratado realizada en cualquier idioma, vertida al castellano a partir del alemán original y confrontada con los bocetos y textos manuscritos previos. El texto de Durero se acompaña de una completa introducción y de un estudio filológico que ayudan a situarlo en su contexto histórico y cultural.

Defence Sites II
Author: C.A. Brebbia
Publisher: WIT Press
ISBN: 1845648331
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 433
Book Description
Containing the proceedings of the second International Conference on Defence Sites, Heritage and Future this book promotes the knowledge of the scale, design and functions of defence sites. It brings a better understanding of the issues raised by their redundancy and the implications of different disposal processes for the land. Redundant defence sites offer a range of opportunities to planners, architects and local communities to redevelop large areas, bringing new life to often neglected parts of towns. These opportunities are common to many countries and the papers in this book stress this common feature and help to share experiences of the transformation of defence sites to civilian uses around the world. The re-use of defence sites also raises questions regarding the need to recover brownfields and contaminated land which can have far-reaching legal responsibilities and environmental consequences. Achieving the sustainable development of these sites involves issues related to maintenance and conservation, as well as built and natural environmental controls, while also responding to the needs and aspirations of the community. Topics covered include: Military heritage history; Castles and fortresses; Fortified cities; Case studies; Transition from military to civilian life; Community involvement; Economic analysis; Risk assessment; Simulation and modelling; Funding and legal requirements.

City of Refuge
Author: Michael J. Lewis
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400884314
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
A fascinating exploration of the urbanism at the heart of Utopian thinking The vision of Utopia obsessed the nineteenth-century mind, shaping art, literature, and especially town planning. In City of Refuge, Michael Lewis takes readers across centuries and continents to show how Utopian town planning produced a distinctive type of settlement characterized by its square plan, collective ownership of properties, and communal dormitories. Some of these settlements were sanctuaries from religious persecution, like those of the German Rappites, French Huguenots, and American Shakers, while others were sanctuaries from the Industrial Revolution, like those imagined by Charles Fourier, Robert Owen, and other Utopian visionaries. Because of their differences in ideology and theology, these settlements have traditionally been viewed separately, but Lewis shows how they are part of a continuous intellectual tradition that stretches from the early Protestant Reformation into modern times. Through close readings of architectural plans and archival documents, many previously unpublished, he shows the network of connections between these seemingly disparate Utopian settlements—including even such well-known town plans as those of New Haven and Philadelphia. The most remarkable aspect of the city of refuge is the inventive way it fused its eclectic sources, ranging from the encampments of the ancient Israelites as described in the Bible to the detailed social program of Thomas More's Utopia to modern thought about education, science, and technology. Delving into the historical evolution and antecedents of Utopian towns and cities, City of Refuge alters notions of what a Utopian community can and should be.

The Visual Legacy of Alexander the Great from the Renaissance to the Age of Revolution
Author: Víctor Mínguez
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1003806775
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
This is an analysis of the diverse facets of Alexander the Great’s image from the Renaissance era through the Baroque into the nineteenth century. Perceived as the first sovereign ruler of the world, for centuries Alexander became an exemplar for the most ambitious kings and emperors. This cultural phenomenon flourished above all in the Renaissance while extending into the nineteenth century. Early modern monarchs’ identification with Alexander associated them with ideas of kingly wisdom. Yet this admiration waned on occasions. Napoleon was Alexander of Macedonia’s most ardent critic. During the nineteenth century, the Macedonian hero was viewed as an individual who won control of the Achaemenid empire, but also underwent a progressive moral decline that converted him into a tyrant. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history and iconography.
