Photo is of a previous copy in our collection; copy is not shrink-wrapped. Henri Labrouste is one of the few nineteenth-century architects consistently lionized as a precursor of modern architecture throughout the twentieth century and into our own time. The two magisterial glass-and-iron reading rooms he built in Paris gave form to the idea of the modern library as a collective civic space. His influence was both immediate and long-lasting, not only on the development of the modern library but also on the exploration of new paradigms of space, materials and luminosity in places of great public assembly. Published to accompany the first exhibition devoted to Labrouste in the United States - and the first anywhere in the world in nearly 40 years - this publication presents nearly 225 works in all media, including drawings, watercolors, vintage and modern photographs, film stills and architectural models. Essays by a range of international architecture scholars explore Labrouste's work and legacy through a variety of approaches.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. An exploration of the role of graphic work in the career of one of the nineteenth century's most influential architects Viollet-le-Duc (18141879) was nineteenth-century France's most prominent architect and restorer. This groundbreaking study examines how he used drawing and printmaking as a mode of seeing and thinking and as a means to intensify relationships by capturing the vitality of historical worlds and hidden analogies between human culture and the natural realm. Making sense of Viollet-le-Duc's vast graphic production, scholars consider his imaginative recreations of the most minute aspects of medieval warfare; his approach to the practical tasks of restoring very complex medieval monuments; his experiments in new means of publicly diffusing architectural ideas in the yearly Parisian salons, in didactic manuals, and in children's books; and even a fantastic project to restitute the original structure of the formidable massif of Mont Blanc. The gamut of techniques employed by Viollet-le-Duc stretches from large painted tableaux to lithographs, steel engravings, woodcuts, gouaches, tracings, and full-scale details. This generously illustrated volume offers an unparalleled window into the architect's working process and explores how his mastery of the graphic arts helped him harness the power of the press to disseminate architectural knowledge and spread ideologies based on antagonism, most notably nationalism and racism.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. How notions of progress, beauty, and cultural superiority structured the genre of nineteenth-century world histories of architecture-and shaped the discipline as we know it today.How notions of progress, beauty, and cultural superiority structured the genre of nineteenth-century world histories of architecture-and shaped the discipline as we know it today.The nineteenth century saw the emergence of a new genre of architectural writing: the grand history of world architecture. This genre often expressed a deeply Eurocentric worldview, largely dismissing non-Western architecture through narratives of historical progress and stylistic beauty. Yet even as nineteenth-century historians worked to construct an exclusive architectural canon, they were engaged in constant debate over its categories and constraints. Narrating the Globe traces the emergence of this historical canon, exposing the questions and problems that prompted the canon's very formation.Bringing together architectural historians from around the world, this collection of essays-the first comprehensive examination of the nineteenth-century architectural history survey as a literary genre-includes overviews of the origins and legacy of the global architecture survey genre, as well as close examinations of key works, including books by lesser-known but intriguing authors such as Louisa C. Tuthill, Christian L. Stieglitz, and Daniel Ramee, and the more famous surveys by James Fergusson, Franz Kugler, Banister Fletcher, and Auguste Choisy. Narrating the Globe is an illuminating read for anyone interested in architectural history's long, complex, and often tendentious trajectory. "An anthology of writings by assorted scholars, accompanied by a lot of original archival illustrations, promoting a new and explicitly global history of largely nineteenth-century architecture"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
