He is always open to suggestions for future events. My apologies that there is no date for the AGM and its accompanying lecture. Pressures unconnected with the Society have meant that I am a little late in organising this. Full details will appear in the next edition.The date will be a weekday evening in May or early June. Our Annual Conference goes from strength to strength. This year it will be held on Saturday 4 October. The topic will be the post-Commonwealth and early Georgian church interior.We will concentrate on the period 1660–1720 - a time which saw a degree of con- sensus emerging about how a church should be arranged, which was to last until the upheavals of the nineteenth century. Details will follow in the Spring edition of Ecclesiology Today. Incidentally,those who suffered the heat and stairs of the last conference will be pleased to know that a new venue has been found, with just one shallow flight of stairs, and modern, silent air- conditioning. We had thought that this issue would be the first in our new format, but this change has been unavoidably held over, and we now hope to launch the new design in the Spring issue. However for this and the previous issue we have been using a new typeface, which we hope you find lighter and easier to read than the previous one. Tucked inside this issue you should find a Gift Aid form (as I write, it is not quite clear whether it will be enclosed or not - if not, it will be in the Spring issue).As you will know,this allows the Society to reclaim tax (further details on the form). Please spare a moment to fill this in and return it to the address shown - it will help our finances considerable. Incidentally, there is no need to wonder if you have filled one in before on behalf of the Society because a) this is the first time we have issued it, so you can’t have! and b) it causes no problems if you fill in more than one. As I mentioned in a previous issue, a volunteer has stepped forward to distribute the Society’s publications.We are now moving our stock to the new location. I hope to give you more details in the Spring, including a list of back stock for sale. Our programme and publications do not happen by themselves. I am sure you will want to join me in thanking all those - members of Council and the many others - who have con- tributed to the Society’s activities in 2002.The steady growth in the Society is surely a vote of confidence in their efforts. The new and updated edition of the catalogue of Stained Glass Marks and Monograms is now available from NADFAS, at a cost of £12.50 inclusive of post and packing. Cheques, payable to NADFAS, should be sent to NADFAS House, 8 Guilford Street, London, WC1N 1DA. It provides a very full listing, with diagrams and index. The sale of an important collection of books on ecclesiology and the Gothic Revival (to be sold as an intact collection) is being handled by Nancy Sheiry Glaister from whom further details are available at 18 Huntingdon Street, London, N1 1BS.

According to the early church histories and Ethiopian tradition, the king of the Aksumite Empire of northern Ethiopia, Ezana, presided over a kingdom that in its heyday in the first half of the first millennium AD enjoyed extensive trade links with the eastern Mediterranean world; Ezana was converted to Christianity by a Syrian named Frumentius, and the new faith was enthusiastically embraced. Soon churches were built, pre-Christian motifs on coinage were removed and replaced by crosses, and burial traditions changed.With the arrival of the so-called Syrian nine saints in the sixth century, Christianity took hold in the more peripheral regions of the Aksumite polity, and monasticism became firmly established.The processes of evangelisation, going hand-in-hand with political conquest, survived the predations of the raids by the pagan queen Gudit at the beginning of the 1000s, and the jihad of the Muslim warlord Gragn in the 1500s. Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity, rigidly monophysite, retains a number of idiosyncratic cultural and ideological traits, and remains proudly identified with the state itself. In terms of sources for the study of ecclesiastical art and architecture, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church is fairly well catered for. The magnificently illustrated African Zion (1993) catalogues a recent exhibition of Ethiopian church painting, icons and processional crosses, and is integrated with a very useful overview of the history and development of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church by a number of noted scholars.This remains the standard work for understanding the cultural his- tory of the Church. Specific research on the architecture of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church has tended to concentrate geographically upon the northernmost province of Tigray, the Aksumite heartland and home of some of the earliest churches and monasteries in Ethiopia.The late Ruth Plant’s 1985 work Architecture of the Tigre, Ethiopia represents the culmination of many years’ trav- el and work in that province, and the book contains a number of descriptions of rock-hewn and free-standing churches from that historic region, although the western portion of Tigray (which we consider here) is under-represented. Finally, in connection with monasticism, the key work on the famed monastery of Debra Damo remains that of the British architect Derek Matthews, who helped restore this important hill-top settlement in the 1940s (Matthews, D, 1959,The Monastery of Debra Damo, Ethobia, Archaeologia 97: 1-58). In summary, much work has focused upon the churches and monasteries of Aksum and the countryside to the east, but little is known about that corner of Tigray that spreads westwards towards the Sudan border.This brief contribution seeks to shed some light on the ecclesiastical history of a hitherto poorly understood area --the region of Shire, northern Tigray (figure 1). Moving some 30 kilometres to the west of the ancient ecclesiastical centre of Aksum, the landscape becomes perceptibly lower closer to the Sudanic steppe lands.This is the historic region of Shire, centred upon the town of Inda Selassie. In November 2001, the present writer directed an archaeological survey in this area with the goal of identifying as many multi-period sites as possi- ble. In practice, this meant a great deal of coverage of prehistoric and early historic-period sites, but 3 Eccles 30 ver 2 Q3 23/1/2003 11:15 am Page 4 Above: Figure 1.

The painted refectory building/store at Giorgis. it soon became clear that extant church and monastery sites could tell us a great deal about the nature of settlement in the area during medieval times (i.e. after the end of the Aksumite period at around 1000 until around 1600). As a rule, the three monastic establishments considered here date from the era of King Dawit I (1382-1413) when the region --hitherto inhabited by the pagan Kunama pastoralist peoples-- was finally subjugated and brought into the sphere of the Christian state.The founding of these monas- tic communities had at once political and religious connotations. The monasteries formed the spearhead of the evangelisation effort, and the Christianisation of the emperor’s new subjects allowed for speedier political integration. Monasteries were very well endowed materially by the Emperor and his cohorts; ecclesiastical land-holding systems (gult) played an important role in the generation of revenue for these newly-established monasteries. Many studies have emphasised the role of gult awards in the socio-economic life of rural Ethiopia up until its abolition under the Marxist Junta or Derg in 1974 .

The site lies within an area of archaeological potential, in the vicinity of cropmarks possibly dating to the later prehistoric or Roman periods. Other significant archaeological remains are also located in the surrounding landscape. The engineering works comprised the excavation of a foundation trench for a penstock, and the re-profiling of a length of drainage ditch. No archaeological features, deposits or artefact were revealed during the engineering works. Deep excavations were only carried out for the penstock foundation trench where only geological deposits were encountered. Any potential remains present in the vicinity of the drainage ditch were unlikely to be revealed due to the limited nature of the works in that area.

    On Top of the World, 1830 to 1914 Transcript Date: Wednesday, 7 March 2012 - 6:00PM Location: Museum of London 7 March 2012 On Top of the World 1830 - 1914 Professor Simon Thurley Tonight we turn to the nineteenth century. What a vast subject, what a broad canvass, how to make sense of an age when so much was built and so much architectural diversity created. Well, somehow I will have to, and that’s why, of course, I’m standing here. However Gresham College have made my job quite a lot easier as, since my last lecture, I have been invited to continue my visiting professorship for another year. So this allows me a bit of headroom. Despite its advertised title I have decided to make tonight’s lecture, which deals with the period 1830 to 1914, part one of two. In October I will deliver 1830 to 1914 part II which will deal with Victorian cities and their infrastructure. Tonight I’m going to address the issue of architectural style in Victorian England. The complexity of explaining and understanding English architecture after 1760 derives essentially from three things. These are not in any order or causal juxtaposition: the first is, changing demands - new types of building for new types of activity: railway stations, post offices, law courts, factories, warehouses, pumping stations for example. The second is rapidly developing technology in materials and techniques: iron, steel, glass, terracotta etc. The third is historicism, the fact that there were many styles to choose from, everything from Egyptian and Hindu to Ottoman and Elizabethan.

  • Disappearing Walls: Architecture and Literature in Victorian Britain by Benjamin Zenas Cannon a Dissertation Submitted in Partia
    Disappearing Walls: Architecture and Literature in Victorian Britain By Benjamin Zenas Cannon A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Ian Duncan, Chair Professor Kent Puckett Professor Andrew Shanken Spring 2014 Disappearing Walls: Literature and Architecture in Victorian Britain © 2014 By Benjamin Zenas Cannon Abstract Disappearing Walls: Architecture and Literature in Victorian Britain By Benjamin Zenas Cannon Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Berkeley Prof. Ian Duncan, Chair From Discipline and Punish and The Madwoman in the Attic to recent work on urbanism, display, and material culture, criticism has regularly cast nineteenth-century architecture not as a set of buildings but as an ideological metastructure. Seen primarily in terms of prisons, museums, and the newly gendered private home, this “grid of intelligibility” polices the boundaries not only of physical interaction but also of cultural values and modes of knowing. As my project argues, however, architecture in fact offered nineteenth-century theorists unique opportunities to broaden radically the parameters of aesthetic agency. A building is generally not built by a single person; it is almost always a corporate effort. At the same time, a building will often exist for long enough that it will decay or be repurposed. Long before literature asked “what is an author?” Victorian architecture theory asked: “who can be said to have made this?” Figures like John Ruskin, Owen Jones, and James Fergusson radicalize this question into what I call a redistribution of intention, an ethically charged recognition of the value of other makers.

  • ARCHITECTURE, POWER, and POVERTY Emergence of the Union
    ARCHITECTURE, POWER, AND POVERTY Emergence of the Union Workhouse Apparatus in the Early Nineteenth-Century England A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Gökhan Kodalak January 2015 2015, Gökhan Kodalak ABSTRACT This essay is about the interaction of architecture, power, and poverty. It is about the formative process of the union workhouse apparatus in the early nineteenth-century England, which is defined as a tripartite combination of institutional, architectural, and everyday mechanisms consisting of: legislators, official Poor Law discourse, and administrative networks; architects, workhouse buildings, and their reception in professional journals and popular media; and paupers, their everyday interactions, and ways of self-expression such as workhouse ward graffiti. A cross-scalar research is utilized throughout the essay to explore how the union workhouse apparatus came to be, how it disseminated in such a dramatic speed throughout the entire nation, how it shaped the treatment of pauperism as an experiment for the modern body-politic through the peculiar machinery of architecture, and how it functioned in local instances following the case study of Andover union workhouse. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Gökhan Kodalak is a PhD candidate in the program of History of Architecture and Urbanism at Cornell University. He received his bachelor’s degree in architectural design in 2007, and his master’s degree in architectural theory and history in 2011, both from Yıldız Technical University, Istanbul. He is a co-founding partner of ABOUTBLANK, an inter-disciplinary architecture office located in Istanbul, and has designed a number of award-winning architectural and urban design projects in national and international platforms.

  • Images of New England: Documenting the Built Environment
    474 American Archivist / Vol. 50 / Fall 1987 Downloaded from http://meridian.allenpress.com/american-archivist/article-pdf/50/4/474/2747585/aarc_50_4_k61r617u31jx5704.pdf by guest on 23 September 2021 Images of New England: Documenting the Built Environment NANCY CARLSON SCHROCK Abstract: The 1980s find the New England states in a period of economic expansion and development that has an impact upon its landscape and built environment. Older structures are being renovated or destroyed, while extensive new building is simultaneously under way. Documenting these changes involves identifying and preserving the records of build- ings that are disappearing as well as those of new construction. The author reviews briefly the history of architecture in New England, focusing on its relationship to the evolution of types of documentation in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries: original design records, publications and stock plans, and visual records of completed buildings and their changes over time. The differing approaches of the six states to preserving these records are profiled, and their efforts linked with the growth of an active historic preservation movement. Aspects of the built environment remain less well documented: current development, commercial architecture, landscape design, builders' records, and owner-initiated projects. The author concludes by proposing regional efforts to deal with these issues, capitalizing upon the expertise and experience of the curators, archivists, and conservators of New England's architectural collections. About the author: Nancy Carlson Schrock is self-employed as a book conservator and consultant on library preservation in Winchester, Massachusetts. During 1979-82, she served as project di- rector for NHPRC- and NEH-sponsored surveys of architectural records, which culminated in publication of Mass COPAR's Architectural Records in Boston.

    Brooks 1 Carson Brooks Professor Spanagel ISP Architectural History 20 June 2018 Evolution of Victorian Architecture Intro: The nineteenth century in London is when industrialization occurred, thus, the way the city developed changed greatly. The changes came from what materials became available, the factories being built, and the demand for housing. The style of architecture during the nineteenth century is known as Victorian. Due to such a large number of migrants to London during the nineteenth century, the city is left with little choice but to expand rapidly, leading to the creation of flats instead of full houses. Population Rise and Influence: During the nineteenth century, London grew and expanded rapidly. Within a ten-year time period more than 330,000 migrants entered the capital, “representing a staggering 17 percent of the total population” (Porter 2001, 205). At the start of the nineteenth century London’s population was approximately one million, by the end of the century the population grew to four and a half million (Porter 205). London had limited choices of how to respond to the increasing population so the city began expanding. Once London began to expand, suburbs developed that separated social classes. During the Victorian era, houses are built for middle class people but within the century, the design of housing is altered. The middle class, otherwise known as the working class, became the target market. Over-crowding and “high market value of land in central London with the low market value of many forms of labor” causes housing issues Brooks 2 in London (Hennock 1979).
