Abstract

This is the first publication on the building of the Academia Belgica in Rome, a residence for Belgian researches and artists and a centre for scientific and cultural activities. Constructed between 1937 and 1939 by the Italian Gino Cipriani and the Belgian Jean Hendrickx-Van den Bosch, in a style both modernist and Art Deco, the building has maintained not only its original exterior but also in large parts its interior decorations and even furniture. The authors investigate the conception and realisation of the original building and its interior design programme, within the context of the cultural and political exchange between Belgium and Italy in the interwar period. This richly illustrated volume includes original photographs of the building and its furniture and architectural plans, drawings and designs, plus a new series of commissioned photographs of the building by Belgian architectural photographer Maxime Delvaux

Abstract

The Four Books of Architecture offers a compendium of Palladio's art and of the ancient Roman structures that inspired him. The First Book is devoted to building materials and techniques and the five orders of architecture: Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, and Composite. Palladio indicates the characteristic features of each order and supplies illustrations of various architectural details. The Second Book deals with private houses and mansions, almost all of Palladio's own design. Shown and described are many of his villas in and near Venice and Vicenza (including the famous Villa Capra, or "The Rotunda," the Thiene Palace, and the Valmarana Palace). Each plate gives a front view drawing of the building and the general floor plan. The Third Book is concerned with streets, bridges, piazzas, and basilicas, most of which are of ancient Roman origin. In the Fourth Book, Palladio reproduces the designs of a number of ancient Roman temples. Plates 51 to 60 are plans and architectural sketches of the Pantheon.In all, the text is illustrated by over 200 magnificently engraved plates, showing edifices, either of Palladio's own design or reconstructed (in these drawings) by him from classical ruins and contemporary accounts.All the original plates are reproduced in this new single-volume edition in full size and in clear, sharp detail. This is a republication of the Isaac Ware English edition of 1738. Faithful and accurate in the translation and in its reproduction of the exquisite original engravings, it has long been a rare, sought-after work. This edition makes The Four Books available for the first time in more than 200 years to the English-speaking public.

Abstract

In cities around the world a new urban condition is spreading rapidly, characterized by ever-increasing levels of perfection, efficiency, control, and the active eradication of any aberration or alternative. In the smooth city, urban space is sanitized and urban life is compressed into a seamless experience. While the need for safe, clean, and well-functioning urban environments is clear, the rise of the smooth city undermines the democratic nature and emancipatory potential of cities as it leaves almost no space for anything that is experimental or incompatible with dominant norms. Smooth City offers a critical analysis of the origins, characteristics, and consequences of the smooth city, while also offering a starting point to challenge the obsession with perfection and instead collectively work towards porosity in the urban realm.https://www.epo.be/nl/boeken/9789493246201/smooth-city-rene-boer

Abstract

Giovanni Niccolò Servandoni (1695-1766) begon zijn internationale carrière als schilder van klassieke ruïnes. Later ontwierp hij enkele van de mooiste monumenten van de 18de eeuw. Zijn knapste werken zijn echter voor altijd verdwenen omdat ze tijdelijk waren. Servandoni was een toparchitect die werkte voor de rijkste families van Europa. In België verbouwde hij de kastelen van de belangrijkste adellijke families tot modieuze residenties. Ook hertog Charles d'Ursel wist in hem 1761 naar Hingene te lokken. Hij ontwierp de opvallende voorgevel en drukte ook zijn stempel op het interieur en het park. Zijn eigen woning bouwde de architect op het plein voor zijn beroemdste werk: de kerk van Sainte Sulpice in Parijs. Met tijdelijke architectuur, vuurwerk en fonteinen creëerde hij verbluffende shows, een Tomorrowland avant-la-lettre. Zijn bekendste spektakel organiseerde Servandoni in 1749 in London. Naar aanleiding van de Vrede van Aken weerklonk daar voor het eerst de Music for the Royal Fireworks van Georg Friedrich Händel. Maak kennis met het veelzijdige werk van deze grote architect, schilder en decorateur in één van zijn mooiste realisaties! Exhibition: Kasteel d'Ursel, Hingene, Belgium (15.05.-15.08.2016).
