Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. The essential purpose of a staircase is utilitarian: to facilitate ascent and descent. Yet the design of even the simplest stair is complex, requiring great knowledge, skill and ingenuity. This volume showcases the astonishing diversity of staircases over the centuries, from the stepped pyramids of the Maya to the exquisitely proportioned stairs of the Renaissance, to the elaborate balustraded confections of the Baroque period, to the virtuosic, computer-aided designs of today. A superb range of photographs, many specially taken for this publication, illustrates clear and accessible written surveys by specialist architectural historians. From Renaissance masterpieces, the sweeping curves of Art Nouveau, the functional beauty of the Bauhaus, to high-tech contemporary dream creations, the staircase is a powerful emblem of technological and artistic achievement.

Couverture rigide. Condición: Comme neuf. Edition originale. Paris 2012. 1 Volume/1 . -- Comme Neuf -- Reliure éditeur cartonnée illustrée - Sous étui en découpe d'escalier - Format in-folio ( 33 x 24,5 cm )( 2195 gr ) -------- 240 pages avec 220 illustrations en couleur .************************ "" L'escalier est une invention fabuleuse : il suffit de quelques marches taillées dans le sol d un chemin qui serait autrement impraticable pour s en convaincre. Mais, au-delà de cette indiscutable utilité, l escalier est une pièce d architecture magique et chargée de sens. L idée d élévation spirituelle est présente aussi bien dans les degrés des pyramides mayas, des observatoires astronomiques d Inde, que dans les escaliers des sanctuaires et des temples de toutes confessions. Symbole de l ascension vers la connaissance, de la transfiguration, des profondeurs de l inconscient et du savoir occulte, l escalier est un thème récurrent dans l art, de Piranèse à Escher, de William Blake à Marcel Duchamp. Plus prosaïquement, les escaliers monumentaux des palais et des édifices publics affirment haut et fort la puissance et le pouvoir de leurs commanditaires. Chefs-d oeuvre de la Renaissance, classiques envolées ou délires baroques des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, grandioses escaliers d apparat du XIXe siècle, fastes de l Art nouveau, sensualité du Modernisme catalan, froids escaliers du Bauhaus, escaliers high-tech, créations oniriques urbaines contemporaines, art conceptuel., les escaliers demeurent l un des signes emblématiques de l innovation technologique et artistique des temps nouveaux.
