  • Vacuum Appropriation Strategies Between Patio and Pavilion Archetypes Hybridization in Two Classical Masters Works of Modern Architecture
    Athens Journal of Architecture - Volume 4, Issue 1– Pages 7-30 Vacuum Appropriation Strategies between Patio and Pavilion Archetypes Hybridization in Two Classical Masters Works of Modern Architecture By Simone Solinas Patio and pavilion, understood as archetypes, may appear as opposing principles in the construction of space. However, we can see through the analysis of some of the proposed cases that the overlap of these principles takes place very frequently, because they both arise from the need to delimit the vacuum by giving to it the character of space. The vacuum is not space, although space may be empty. The vacuum exists without us, whereas space does not. The architect, in designing enclosed space, encapsulates a portion of the vacuum, indistinct and formless, understood as Nature. This is a fragment of Paradise that everyone has right to possess, by binding an idea to the image of the patio and pavilion. From their combined use, there are several cases in which these elements take shape in architectural projects. In some projects, one principle dominates the other, but it is evident that there are a large variety of mixed proposals between the two extremes. The two principles do not exclude one another and can coexist together in a complementary way by appearing in the same project. The two figures as archetypes are taken as the main reference points of different poles that seem to be conflicting and irreconcilable ideas, but that instead build together the complexity of architecture. Full | empty, outside | inside, empty space | full-space, stereotomic | tectonic, vertical | horizontal, centrifugal | centripetal, works together to build space.

I started my horticultural career later in life and following some volunteer work in historic gardens and completing my RHS level 2 Diploma, I was fortunate enough to secure a place on the Historic and Botanic Garden training scheme. I spent a year at Kensington Palace Gardens as part of the scheme. Following this I attended the Kew Specialist Certificate in Ornamental Horticulture which gave me the opportunity to deepen my plant knowledge and develop my interest in working in historic gardens. While on the course I was able to attend a series of lectures in garden history. My interest was drawn to the renaissance gardens of Italy, which have had a significant influence on European garden design and in particular on English Gardens. It seems significant that in order to understand many of the most important historic gardens in the UK one must understand the design principles and forms, and the classical references and structures of the Italian renaissance.

  • 99 9. the Sculptures FOUND in the BOULEUTERION and the Sculptural Program of the VEDIUS SCAENAE FRONS364 the Sculptures Found I
    99 9. THE SCULPTURES FOUND IN THE BOULEUTERION AND THE SCULPTURAL PROGRAM OF THE VEDIUS SCAENAE FRONS364 The sculptures found in the Bouleuterion were mainly discovered by J. T. Wood in the early 1860s. Two frag- ments of inscribed statue bases (sculp. 1.3 and 1.6, see chapter 9.5, pls. 67, 2; 68) were recorded by J. Keil in 1908, whereas W. Alzinger’s excavations in 1970 yielded only one small fragment of a male head (sculp. 2.4, pl. 70, 2). About half of the sculptures are attested only by inscribed statue bases or are mentioned in Wood’s letters to the British Museum. As far as we know, Wood sent three sculptures (sculp. 1.1; 1.4; 2.3, pls. 66; 69; 70, 1.3) to the British Museum; one of them (sculp. 1.4, pls. 69; 70, 1) was returned to the Imperial Ottoman Museum in Constantinople. A fourth piece, the statue of a Muse (sculp. 2.1, pls. 70, 4; 71), was also intended for the British Museum, but sank with the ship off the coast of Syros. It was retrieved in a partially damaged state from the sea and is now displayed in the Archaeological Museum of Syros (see below, chapter 9.2). The whereabouts of five other bases or plinths and sculptures (sculp. 1.2; 1.5; 2.2; 3.1; 3.2; pl. 67, 1) found by Wood are unknown. The fragment of the inscribed base sculp. 1.3 is stored in the epigraphic depot at the site of Ephesos; the location of the fragment of the base sculp.

  • HAMILTON FISH PARK PLAY CENTER, 130 Pitt Street, ~Orough of Manhattan
    Landmarks Designation Commission December 21, 1982, Designation List 162 LP-1264 HAMILTON FISH PARK PLAY CENTER, 130 Pitt Street, ~orough of Manhattan. Built 1898- 1900; architects Carr~re & Hastings. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 340, Lot 1 in part, consisting of the land on which the described building is situated. On November 10, 1981, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hear~ ing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Hamilton Fish Park Play Center and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 6). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Two witnesses spoke in favor of designation. There were no speakers in opposition to designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANAL~SIS The Hamilton Fish Park Play Center is among the most notable small c1v1c build­ ings in New York City. Designed in 1898 by Carr~re & Hastings, one of America's foremost architectural firms at the turn of the century, this park pavilion is an exuberant Beaux-Arts style building that is the only survivor of the architects' original playground plan. Beautiful in its own right, the building is even more exceptional when considered in relation to its surroundings. Hamilton Fish Park is located in an area that, for over 100 years, has been one of New York City's most depressed neighborhoods. In fact, the park was constructed as part of a movement to add open space to the densely populated slums of the city. The building was not planned simply as a utilitarian structure, but was designed in the manner of a small garden pavilion placed within a formal park.
