The European Fortifications on the Coast of the Pacific Ocean
Scientific Journal of Latvia University of Agriculture Landscape Architecture and Art, Volume 10, Number 10 The European fortifications on the coast of the Pacific Ocean Nikolay Kasyanov, Research Institute of Theory and History of Architecture and Urban Planning of the Russian Academy of Architecture and Construction Sciences, Moscow, Russia Abstract. In the Russian Empire during XIX and early XX centuries, fortresses were built and strengthened along the frontiers. We studied the architecture of the Far Eastern Russian cities-fortresses using as examples Nikolaevsk-on-Amur, Port Arthur (now Luishun) and mainly Vladivostok. Coastal fortresses significantly influenced the urban development of the Far Eastern cities. The architectural peculiarity of the fortress architecture at that period was associated with the transition from the brick and stone fortifications to the complex systems of monolithic reinforced concrete. In 1860, a military post with the expressive and geopolitically ambitious name "Vladivostok" ("Possess the East") was established. By the beginning of the XX century, Vladivostok became a rapidly growing city of the European culture and one of the most powerful marine fortresses in the world. The Vladivostok Fortress was an innovative project in early XX century and has distinctive features of the modern style (Art Nouveau), partly of the Russian and classical style in architecture, as well as an organic unity with the surrounding landscape. Plastic architectural masses with their non-linear shape are typical of the fortifications of Vladivostok. Vast and branching internal communication spaces link fort buildings, scattered on the surface and remote from each other. Huge, monumental forts located on the tops of mountains and fitted perfectly in the landscape are successful examples of landscape architecture. -
Book Reviews and Book Notes
BOOK REVIEWS AND BOOK NOTES EDITED BY NORMAN B. WILKINSON James Logan and the Culture of Provincial America. By Frederick B. Tolles. (Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1957. Pp. 228. $3.50.) The life of James Logan is the story of a poor Quaker lad of Scottish descent whom fortune snatched from obscurity for the role of Pennsylvania's foremost citizen during the first forty years of the eighteenth century. Born in Ulster, Ireland, in 1674, Logan's career began in 1699 when William Penn, recognizing his talents, chose the twenty-five year old schoolmaster of Bristol, England, for his secretary and land agent in Pennsylvania. Henceforth, the debt-ridden William Penn could be thankful that Proprietary affairs in Pennsylvania were entrusted to one as faithful and competent as James Logan. By writing a life of James Logan, Professor Tolles has fulfilled a need long recognized, for Logan's career is second in importance only to that of William Penn in the early history of Pennsylvania. Professor Tolles' fluent style makes for understanding and appreciation. The author's sympathetic treatment of his subject offers an avenue for considering Pennsylvania affairs from the Proprietary point of view. As Logan's activities reached out to include inter-colonial and imperial relations, the problems of the Empire are elucidated by his life. Logan's abiding interest in science and his accomplishments in this field illuminate the development of this branch of knowledge in America. The nature of Logan's duties at once brought him into conflict with the unicameral Pennsylvania legislature, which supposedly reflected the interests of the people at large. -
