Abstract

In the Upper Egyptian city of Edfu, laying 110 km upriver from Luxor, stands the most complete surviving temple of ancient Egypt. The temple, dedicated to Horus, was begun in 327 BCE under Ptolemy III and continued in several building phases. The final phase began in 116 BCE with the completion of the courtyard enclosure and the monumental pylon, which reached a height of 32 meters and towered over the temple and the surrounding city. The closed facade of the gateway gives the impression that it and the neighboring pylons were associated with a massive building project of the New Kingdom. This situation has led to observations about the interior of the building that have gone unnoticed in previous studies of the complex, which contains an eight-story building with two staircases and thirty-six internal rooms. Ulrike Fauerbach has analyzed the building by screening its architecture and placing it in its typological context. This study is concerned with the best preserved multi-story building of ancient Egypt and, on that basis, offers a new point of view into the transformative period from pharaonic to Greek building techniques. Fauerbach demonstrates that the fifty-ton blocks used in the construction of the site were dragged up ramps to the required height and were then shifted into place with levers, although at cranes were already being employed in other constructions sites from the same period. Despite this traditional building technique, the building survives as a masterwork of pharaonic architecture, which the research shows by examining countless details such as the steps, the doors, the use of light, the secret passages to the treasury, and not least in the ritual use of the building.

Abstract

"The archaeological excavations near the Jaffa Gate, the main entryway to the Old City of Jerusalem, are among the most significant excavations of recent decades. They uncovered a large area beneath the Qishle, a historical prison within a 19th-century structure, revealing remarkable findings from the Iron Age to modern times. The remains of an imposing wall were found - probably a city wall of the First Temple period, dating to the 8th century BCE, as well as a large portion of the First Wall - Jerusalem's Hasmonean-era fortification. Other noteworthy discoveries include retaining walls and a sewage system from the time of Herod the Great that were part of Herod's Upper City palace; medieval installations, and a section of the curtain wall from the Crusader/Ayyubid period. The Qishle excavations have opened an extraordinary window onto underground Jerusalem, revealing a striking example of the ancient city's stratigraphy and allowing us a glimpse of the fascinating history of ancient Jerusalem"--Back cover.

Abstract

Hermann Czech, geboren 1936, gehört zu den bekanntesten Architekten Österreichs, dessen Ansehen weit über die Grenzen hinausreicht. Dieser Einfluss gründet nicht nur auf seinem architektonischen Werk, das neben Bauwerken auch den Entwurf von Möbeln, Inneneinrichtungen und Ausstellungsgestaltungen umfasst, sondern auch auf seiner Tätigkeit als Autor zahlreicher architekturtheoretischer Schriften sowie auf seiner Herausgeberschaft von Neuausgaben und Übersetzungen von 'Klassikern' der Architekturgeschichte, u.a. von Otto Wagner, Adolf Loos, Josef Frank und Christopher Alexander. Dieses neue Buch ist die erste Monografie über Hermann Czechs vielfältiges Schaffen. Ein erster kulturhistorischer Teil verknüpft sein Wirken mit den Ansätzen der Wiener Moderne. Der zweite, biografische Teil umfasst Czechs Jugend- und Studienjahre und analysiert die zeitgenössischen Einflüsse auf sein Denken und Bauen. Der dritte Teil legt über reine Projektbeschreibungen hinaus auch zahlreiche Referenzen und Überlegungen Czechs dar und bietet ein vollständiges Verzeichnis seiner Bauten, Projekte und Schriften. Ein Essay der Wiener Philosophin Elisabeth Nemeth über das Verhältnis von Architektur und Philosophie im Werk Hermann Czechs rundet den Band ab.
