  • Palladio's Influence in America
    Palladio’s Influence In America Calder Loth, Senior Architectural Historian, Virginia Department of Historic Resources 2008 marks the 500th anniversary of Palladio’s birth. We might ask why Americans should consider this to be a cause for celebration. Why should we be concerned about an Italian architect who lived so long ago and far away? As we shall see, however, this architect, whom the average American has never heard of, has had a profound impact on the architectural image of our country, even the city of Baltimore. But before we investigate his influence we should briefly explain what Palladio’s career involved. Palladio, of course, designed many outstanding buildings, but until the twentieth century few Americans ever saw any of Palladio’s works firsthand. From our standpoint, Palladio’s most important achievement was writing about architecture. His seminal publication, I Quattro Libri dell’ Architettura or The Four Books on Architecture, was perhaps the most influential treatise on architecture ever written. Much of the material in that work was the result of Palladio’s extensive study of the ruins of ancient Roman buildings. This effort was part of the Italian Renaissance movement: the rediscovery of the civilization of ancient Rome—its arts, literature, science, and architecture. Palladio was by no means the only architect of his time to undertake such a study and produce a publication about it. Nevertheless, Palladio’s drawings and text were far more engaging, comprehendible, informative, and useful than similar efforts by contemporaries. As with most Renaissance-period architectural treatises, Palladio illustrated and described how to delineate and construct the five orders—the five principal types of ancient columns and their entablatures.

  • Chapter One: Postwar Resentment and the Invention of Middle America 10
    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Jeffrey Christopher Bickerstaff Doctor of Philosophy ________________________________________ Timothy Melley, Director ________________________________________ C. Barry Chabot, Reader ________________________________________ Whitney Womack Smith, Reader ________________________________________ Marguerite S. Shaffer, Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT TALES FROM THE SILENT MAJORITY: CONSERVATIVE POPULISM AND THE INVENTION OF MIDDLE AMERICA by Jeffrey Christopher Bickerstaff In this dissertation I show how the conservative movement lured the white working class out of the Democratic New Deal Coalition and into the Republican Majority. I argue that this political transformation was accomplished in part by what I call the "invention" of Middle America. Using such cultural representations as mainstream print media, literature, and film, conservatives successfully exploited what came to be known as the Social Issue and constructed "Liberalism" as effeminate, impractical, and elitist. Chapter One charts the rise of conservative populism and Middle America against the backdrop of 1960s social upheaval. I stress the importance of backlash and resentment to Richard Nixon's ascendancy to the Presidency, describe strategies employed by the conservative movement to win majority status for the GOP, and explore the conflict between this goal and the will to ideological purity. In Chapter Two I read Rabbit Redux as John Updike's attempt to model the racial education of a conservative Middle American, Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, in "teach-in" scenes that reflect the conflict between the social conservative and Eastern Liberal within the author's psyche. I conclude that this conflict undermines the project and, despite laudable intentions, Updike perpetuates caricatures of the Left and hastens Middle America's rejection of Liberalism.

  • Virginia State Capitol and Capitol Square
    Virginia State Capitol and Capitol Square In 1779, the Virginia Legislature voted to move the capital from Williamsburg to Richmond. Until a permanent Capitol could be built, the Virginia General Assembly met in two wood-framed buildings at the corner of what is now 14th Street and Cary Street. With Richmond as the new capital, six squares of land were selected for the placement of permanent public buildings. In 1788, the Thomas Jefferson designed Capitol was considered finished enough to house the Virginia General Assembly. Jefferson’s Roman temple form building is the middle portion of the present-day Capitol. The original building was expanded in 1906 with the addition of two wings, and again in 2007 with an underground extension. The architecturally and historically important building is designated as a National Historic Landmark and tentatively listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The public area surrounding the Capitol was originally a weed-filled open square with informal lanes and footpaths. In 1816, the Virginia General Assembly hired French-born Maximilian Godefroy to lay out a formal park. Two years later, the newly landscaped grounds were enclosed by the cast- and wrought-iron fence still in place today, and this area eventually came to be called Capitol Square. While retaining aspects of Godefroy’s framework, Scottish-born John Notman developed an 1850 overlay plan of meandering walkways and native trees and shrubs that gave Capitol Square much of the character and appeal it retains today. This designed historic landscape is nationally significant.

  • Jefferson and Architecture
    Jefferson and Architecture Reading Level: Elementary School “Architecture is my delight” Architects design buildings. They also make the plans for the buildings. Thomas Jefferson loved architecture. Throughout his life, he drew plans for houses, towns, government buildings, churches and schools. At the time, there were no schools to teach architecture. Jefferson taught himself. He read books about architecture. He studied the drawings of other architects. One architect he liked was Andrea Palladio (1508-1580). Palladio used the ancient buildings of Rome as models for his own work. Jefferson liked Palladio’s drawings. He liked classic Roman features such as columns and pediments. Columns are round, tall supports. They Close-up of Monticello’s are usually made of wood or marble. Pediments are the triangle-shaped West Front Portico, which fronts of buildings and windows. has Doric columns “Never more than half finished” Jefferson designed his famous house, Monticello. He drew his first plan in the 1760s. He used Palladio’s drawings as models. He used classic Roman ideas, such as columns and pediments. In 1768, Jefferson started to build Monticello. Paid workers and slaves leveled the top of the mountain. They built kilns to make bricks. They dug a cellar and well and cut wood. First they built the South Pavilion, a one- room brick building. Jefferson and his wife Martha lived there while the main house was being built. The first Monticello had two stories. The Jefferson drew this sketch of outside of the house had columns and pediments. The inside had eight Monticello a couple of years rooms.

  • Touring the Virginia State Capitol with Kids of All Ages Mary Sandkam, Richmond Originally Published in the January-February 2017 Issue of Vahomeschoolers Voice
    Touring the Virginia State Capitol with Kids of All Ages Mary Sandkam, Richmond Originally published in the January-February 2017 issue of VaHomeschoolers Voice Planning a group field trip is a tricky business. As the saying goes, you can please some of the people all of the time, or all of the people some of the time. It’s rare to find that special field trip location where you can please all of the people, all of the time! On a recent autumn morning, however, I was lucky enough to stumble across one such place, and it’s probably not somewhere you would expect to please groups from little ones to high schoolers. Yet, the Virginia State Capitol has it all—big grassy hills, larger-than-life statues, underground tunnels, and big models that will appeal to the youngest travelers—alongside discussions of history, politics, art, and architecture that will satiate the older minds in your group. I had called and arranged a group tour ahead of time; this is required for any group that is larger than 10. The people at the Visitor’s Center desk suggested arriving 15 minutes prior to our scheduled tour time and recommended allowing extra time to find parking. There is no designated parking lot for the Capitol. In the fall, when we visited, everyone found plenty of inexpensive parking on-street or in nearby lots, but I imagine if you were to visit during the very busy legislative session, parking would be at a premium. Our group made it through security and assembled in the Visitor’s Center, where we waited for our tour guide and looked at a temporary exhibit in one gallery and a permanent exhibit in another.
