    ITALY AT WORK : HER RENAISSANCE IN DESIGN TODAY PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Meyric Reynold Rogers | 128 pages | 10 Feb 2010 | Nabu Press | 9781143311901 | English | Charleston SC, United States Italy at Work : Her Renaissance in Design Today PDF Book The broad appeal of the nude extended to the novel and personal ways Renaissance patrons sought to incorporate nude figures into the works of art they commissioned. Learning Objectives Name some distinguishing features of Italian Renaissance architecture, its major exponents, and important architectural concepts. Teatro Olimpico : Scaenae frons of the Teatro Olimpico. One primary emphasis of the Counter-Reformation was a mission to reach parts of the world that had been colonized as predominantly Catholic, and also try to reconvert areas, such as Sweden and England, that were at one time Catholic but had been Protestantized during the Reformation. The Renaissance has had a large impact on society in a multitude of ways. The Palazzo Farnese, one of the most important High Renaissance palaces in Rome , is a primary example of Renaissance Roman architecture. With its perfect proportions, harmony of parts, and direct references to ancient architecture, the Tempietto embodies the Renaissance. Working together across cultural and religious divides, they both become very rich, and the Ottomans became one of the most powerful political entities in the world. A popular explanation for the Italian Renaissance is the thesis that the primary impetus of the early Renaissance was the long-running series of wars between Florence and Milan, whereby the leading figures of Florence rallied the people by presenting the war as one between the free republic and a despotic monarchy.

  • Jobey, Liz. “Time and Space,” Financial Times, February 1, 2013
    ! Jobey, Liz. “Time and Space,” Financial Times, February 1, 2013. The precision was not entirely a surprise. The answers Candida Höfer sent to my questions by email (her preferred method) were concise, clear and direct. This much you might expect after seeing her photographs. She confronts the large, ornate spaces with mastery and control. When I asked what the most important quality was that she looked for in a photograph, she replied, “ … it is what in German is called stimmig – that the image has a sort of balance in itself”. Höfer’s photographs reinforce that sense of balance, not only accentuating the architectural structure of a building, but also understanding the uplifting effects that space and light can have on the human spirit. Many of the spaces she photographs were designed for public or semi-public use – theatres, opera houses, libraries – and are accustomed to display and spectacle, to crowds and packed houses, or at least to the sound of people reading. But she seems content to forgo any human presence in her pictures. It is the buildings, their spatial volumes, that are her subjects. The Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza, northern Italy, might have been waiting for Höfer and her cameras to arrive for over four centuries. It was the Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio’s last building, a recreation of a Roman theatre commissioned for his home town. Work began in 1580, but Palladio died six months later, leaving only a sketch for the famous scaenae frons, the ornate screen at the back of the stage, with its line of arches from which seven painted trompe l’oeil streets recede.

  • Reconstructing the South Theatre at Jerash
    ANES 37 (2000) 3-25 Reconstructing the South Theatre at Jerash Frank SEAR Centre for Classics and Archaeology School of Fine Arts, Classical Studies and Archaeology University of Melbourne Victoria 3010 AUSTRALIA Fax: 61 3 8344 4161 E-mail: [email protected] Andrew HUTSON Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Building University of Melbourne Victoria 3010 AUSTRALIA Fax: 61 3 8344 5532 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A team from the University of Melbourne made a detailed architectural survey of the South Theatre at Jerash in 1994-6. In addition to the survey a study was made of several thousand architectural fragments which were stored behind the theatre. This allowed a reconstruction to be made of the missing upper order of the scaenae frons. As the original survey had been made digitally the informa- tion was used to produce digital reconstructions of the missing parts of the theatre as well as a visualisation of the theatre as it may have looked in Roman times. The value of such digital recording and computer reconstructions is that they can easily be altered to take account of new evidence. Introduction The South Theatre at Jerash was surveyed in 1994-6 as part of an ongo- ing study of Roman theatre architecture by a team from the University of 4 F. SEAR & A. HUTSON Melbourne.1 The survey was part of the Australian Roman Theatres project, funded by a grant from the Australian Research Council. The project began in 1990 and since then the theatres surveyed completely or in part are those at Gubbio, Volterra, Pompeii, Taormina, Orange, Cales and Benevento.

  • The Acoustic Model of the Greek Theatre
    The acoustic model of the Greek theatre Benoit Beckers & Nicoletta Borgia Urban Systems Engineering Department Compiègne University of Technology (France) [email protected] www.heliodon.net Summary The evolution of Graeco-Roman theatre, during its thousand years in existence, is interpreted as a two-sided problem concerning geometric acoustics and visual geometry, and, beyond that, as the first step in a more general acoustic model, which encompasses all theatre designs whose primary criteria is capacity. PACS: 43.55.Gx 1 I. INTRODUCTION Over the past few years, there has been a renewed interest in the acoustics of ancient theatres. In general, articles on the subject are based on measurements of the sound field carried out in major theatres, such as the ones in Epidaurus and Dodona [1], Aphrodisias and Aspendos [2]. Sometimes, it is simply a matter of becoming better acquainted with the auditory qualities of these places, where performances are still regularly put on. The problem is that these measurements are often taken when there is no audience present, even though an audience significantly modifies the acoustics of these stone structures. These measurements are also often a pretext to assess simulation programs based on ray tracing [3, 4], which does, or does not, take into account diffuse reflection. It is therefore difficult to deduce the original properties of these theatres which are now in ruins. Indeed, they are sometimes in a remarkable state of preservation but the marble surfaces have disappeared and the stones themselves are heavily eroded, which obviously affects the specular and diffuse components of the reflected sound.

  • Roman Theatre Information
    Roman Entertainment The Romans enjoyed watching gladiator fights, sports, chariot races and plays. Theatre, Amphitheatre or Circus Theatres, amphitheatres and circuses each had a certain purpose and design. An amphitheatre was circular and there were seats going around the performance area. By contrast, theatres had a semi-circular shape. The Roman Theatre of Orange, France A circus was an open air race track where chariot races would take place. Amphitheatres hosted events such as gladiator fights and wild beast hunts; theatres hosted plays.
