Modernism Without Modernity: The Rise of Modernist Architecture in Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina, 1890-1940 Abstract : Why did machine-age modernist architecture diffuse to Latin America so quickly after its rise in Continental Europe during the 1910s and 1920s? Why was it a more successful movement in relatively backward Brazil and Mexico than in more affluent and industrialized Argentina? After reviewing the historical development of architectural modernism in these three countries, several explanations are tested against the comparative evidence. Standards of living, industrialization, sociopolitical upheaval, and the absence of working-class consumerism are found to be limited as explanations. As in Europe, Modernism

  • World Monuments Fund Names Jonathan S. Bell As Vice President of Programs
    WORLD MONUMENTS FUND NAMES JONATHAN S. BELL AS VICE PRESIDENT OF PROGRAMS New York, NY, March 4, 2020– World Monuments Fund (WMF) today announced Jonathan S. Bell as its new Vice President of Programs. Dr. Bell will be the first individual to hold this newly created position. Since 1965, WMF has partnered with local stakeholders to safeguard more than 600 sites worldwide, including Angkor Archaeological Park in Siem Reap, Cambodia; the Forbidden City’s Qianlong Garden in Beijing, China; and Civil Rights sites across Alabama in the United States. Dr. Bell, who comes to the organization from the National Geographic Society, has spent over twenty years collaborating with national and local governments to develop conservation and management strategies for cultural heritage sites and infrastructure around the world. Over his career, he has worked with the Getty Conservation Institute on World Heritage Sites in China and Egypt, evaluated cultural site management from Kazakhstan to Colombia, and has overseen strategic planning for largescale flood infrastructure for the County of Los Angeles. Bell serves on multiple ICOMOS scientific committees as an expert member and sits on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Architectural Conservation. Currently, Dr. Bell serves as the Director of the Human Journey Initiative at National Geographic Society, where he oversees a portfolio of projects that highlight the origins of humankind and contribute to the protection of humanity’s legacy. In addition to working closely with some of the world’s leading paleoanthropologists and geneticists to further research on human origins, Bell has helped launch a new program focused on cultural heritage that will highlight the significance of historic sites and the threats they face for a broad public, while also contributing to local capacity-building in documentation and conservation approaches.

    UCLA UCLA Historical Journal Title Indians and Artistic Vocation in Colonial Cuzco, 1650-1715 Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8xh0r92z Journal UCLA Historical Journal, 11(0) ISSN 0276-864X Author Crider, John Alan Publication Date 1991 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Indians and Artistic Vocation in Colonial Cuzco, 1650-1715 John Alan Crider The school of painting that emerged in Cuzco during the second half of the seventeenth century marks one of the more extraordi- nary and unique expressions of colonial art in Spanish America. Thematically and stylistically the paintings are too Christian and urbane to be assigned the status of folk art, yet too tantalizingly "other" to be included in the canon of European art. In the Cuzco paintings Christian iconography is often strikingly reinterpreted. There is an anachronistic preference for flat hieratic figures, remi- niscent of Medieval art, and for archaic methods such as gold-lace gilding. In sum, the paintings of the Cuzco school exhibited a sur- prising fusion of European visual ideas, techniques, and styles. Primarily, this paper is interested in those anonymous Indian artisans who became increasingly active in art production after 1650, when one sees not only greater participation of native Andeans in the official guild, as reflected by contract documents, but eventually their close association with the rise of the unique artistic style which variously has been called the Cuzco school, Andean Baroque, or Andean Mestizaje. No visual representation of space can be divorced from its con- text of intellectual and social values. Indeed, in order to under- stand the circle of art which emanated from colonial Cuzco, and which intersected with the widening circles of influence shed by John Alan Crider received a B.A.

    journal of jesuit studies 6 (2019) 270-293 brill.com/jjs Catholic Presence and Power: Jesuit Painter Bernardo Bitti at Lake Titicaca in Peru Christa Irwin Marywood University [email protected] Abstract Bernardo Bitti was an Italian Jesuit and painter who traveled to the viceroyalty of Peru at the end of the sixteenth century to make altarpieces in the service of the order’s conversion campaigns. He began his New World career in Lima, the viceregal capital and then, over a span of thirty-five years, traveled to Jesuit mission centers in cities throughout Peru, leaving a significant imprint on colonial Peruvian painting. In 1586, Bitti was in Juli, a small town on Lake Titicaca in southern Peru, where the Jesuits had arrived a decade prior and continually faced great resistance from the local popula- tion. In this paper, I will argue that Bitti’s paintings were tools implemented by the Jesuit missionaries seeking to establish European, Christian presence in the conflicted city. Thus, Bitti’s contribution at Juli can serve as but one example of how the Jesuits used art as part of their methodology of conversion. Keywords Jesuit – Bernardo Bitti – Juli – Peru – missions – colonial painting – viceroyalty – Lake Titicaca In 1576, a small group of Jesuits arrived at the town of Juli in the south of Peru. After a failed attempt by an earlier set of missionaries, and significant hesi- tancy on the part of the Jesuits the evangelization efforts at Juli would eventu- ally come to mark an example of success for other Jesuit sites. Juli presents a fascinating case of Jesuit mission activity because it offers documentation of the indigenous culture’s integration into a newly created Christian town.

S. Al-Zwainy Faculty of Engineering, Isra University, Amman, Jordan ABSTRACT This research paper gives a historic overview of the Palestnian architecture from the ancient times until today. The first chapter treats the ancient architecture. It introduces us to the first architectural findings on the territory of Palestine and the earliest Palestinian houses. We will see the differences of styles and buildings in prehistoric and ancient times from those built during Roma-Byzantine rule and later during ancient Greek-Roman influence. It is the time of the emergence and spread of Christianity, thus the period of building its temples - the churches. With the conquest of Palestine by the Arabs and islamization of the country the architecture suffers changes and is influenced by this new religion and new lifestile. Jerusalem becomes the beacon of islamic religion and culture. This period is the subject of the second chapter that gives us overview of the Palestinian architecture starting from Arabs installation in the 7th century and the crusaders wars, followed by the rule of Mamluk's dynasty. We finalize this period of influence in the Palestinian architecture with the rule of the Ottoman Empire. Despite the change of religions and cultures, churches and mosques are being constructed in each rule.

    Adamo Boari, Mexico City and Canberra Christopher Vernon Annette Condello Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Visual Arts, The University of Western Australia, Australia Walter Burley and Marion Mahony Griffin’s victory in the 1912 international design competition for Australia’s new capital city Canberra propelled the couple out from under the shadow of their former employer Frank Lloyd Wright. Central to their submission’s success, the Griffins’ plan encapsulated an almost worshipful regard for the future city’s rugged site. Most striking is the plan’s symbolically-charged, crystalline geometry. Crucially, this modular system not only accommodated, but was also informed by, and accentuated the site’s irregular landforms. The remarkable structural dialogue between the plan’s geometry and the site’s topography has attracted considerable scholarly attention. When seeking to identify its compositional origins, many have concluded that the Griffins’ design cannot be ‘understood simply in terms of either late nineteenth century City Beautiful models or Howard’s Garden City principles’. Given this, some have ascribed the design’s structure to the ‘secret’ formulas of ancient cosmological and other esoteric sources. This paper, however, argues that the Griffins drew upon more immediate, exoteric sources. These sources, in turn, are to be more accurately identified through an investigation of the couple’s own pre-Canberra projects. This alternative interpretation features works produced during Walter Burley Griffin’s early (ca 1900) and little- known tenure with Italian-American architect Adamo Boari. Adamo Boari is today remembered almost exclusively (if at all) as the architect of Mexico City’s Palace of Fine Arts.

Sağlık hizmeti veren kuruluşlar genel olarak bîmâristan ve dârüşşifâ olarak adlandırılmışlardı. Bîmâristan ve dârüşşifâ vakıfları padişahlar, saltanat üyeleri başta olmak üzere devlet adamları ile zenginler tarafından kurulmuşlardı. Osmanlı idaresindeki Trablusşam’da sağlık hizmet veren Bîmâristan, Memlûklar zamanında kurulmuş olup İzzi ve Bedrî isimleri ile anılmaktaydılar. Osmanlı Devleti, Trablus’u ele geçirdikten sonra İzzi ve Bedrî Bîmâristan vakıflarını kayıt altına alarak bunların varlığını korudu. Ancak 16. yüzyılın ikinci yarısında zamanla bu iki vakfın hizmetlerinin aksaması ve mali durumlarının kötüleşmesi neticesinde devlet bunları birleştirerek tek bir vakıf haline dönüştürdü. Bu düzenleme ile Trablusşam’daki Dârüşşifâ (Bîmâristan) Vakfı 19. yüzyılın sonuna kadar varlığını sürdürebildi. Bu çalışmada, Trablusşam Dârüşşifâ (Bîmâristan) Vakfı’nın 1845-1880 tarihleri arasında gelir ve giderlerinin tür ve sayıları ile vakıfta çalışan görevlilerinin unvan ve ücretleri hakkında bilgi verilmiştir. Yine bu araştırma neticesinde, Osmanlı Devleti’nin son dönemlerinde Trablusşam Dârüşşifâ (Bîmâristan) Vakfı’nın ekonomik yapısının analizi yapılarak, verdikleri hizmetlerde zaman içerisinde geçirmiş olduğu sosyal ve iktisadi değişimler ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Osmanlı Devleti, Trablusşam, Vakıf, Dârüşşifâ/Bîmâristan. ABSTRACT Health services were provided through waqf in the Ottoman Empire before the 19th century. Healthcare institutions were generally named as “Bîmâristan” and “Dār al-shifā”. Bîmâristan and Dār al-shifā waqfs were founded by sultans, dynasty members, statesmen and rich citizens.
