There is probably no class of buildings that engages the interest of so many different minds as the castle. To the architect, such strongholds as Conway, Warwick, Arundel, Lambeth, Blois, Caernavon, Kronborg, Windsor, Urbino, Berkeley, Amboise, Loches, etc., etc., are valuable studies. For example, Conway, half castle, half palace, contains Early Decorated architecture in Queen Eleanor's Oratory and fine lancet windows ; the donjon of Arundel dates from the days of King Alfred ; Warwick, one of the few mediaeval fortresses that has lasted unchanged from the time of William the Conqueror to that of King Edward VII., shows us what Kenilworth and the other baronial castles of England were like ; the feudal stronghold of Berkeley has also preserved its ancient appearance through seven centuries ; Windsor retains its Norman Keep and affords a splendid example of the dwelling-place of royalty ; the mediaeval fortress of Amboise with its Flamboyant Gothic chapel displays a wonderful contrast of styles; and VI PREFACE at Blois four periods of architecture may be contemplated side by side. Turning to palaces, it is sufficient merely to name the Ducal Palace, the Alhambra, Hampton Court Palace, Fontainebleau, Chenonceaux, Futtehpore-Sikri, and the Palace of Shah Jehan to recall the wealth that exists in such vast volumes of art and architecture. The Mikado's Palace, and the Summer Palace at Pekin transport us into another and mysterious world, appealing strongly to our imagination. The castle was built for defence as well as for a dwell- ing-place ; the palace, generally speaking, is the abode of monarchs or nobles ; and as both have been the scene of plots, imprisonments, murders, entertainments, love-mak- ing, marriages, births and deaths, their walls enclose in- numerable memories of history and legend. As the most brilliant displays of human pleasure and the blackest mani- festations of human conduct have occurred in their halls, towers and dungeons, the phantoms of the most striking characters in history hover amid their crumbling and ivy- clad stones. In every castle there are one or two characters, events, or legends that dominate all the others. For instance, in the Vaults of Kronborg Holger Danske (Ogier le Danois, beloved of Morgan le Fay) sleeps ; but the better-remem- bered legend is that of the pale ghost that walks the plat- form at Elsinore in the nipping and eager air of midnight. Glamis is the supposed scene of Macbeth's murder of Duncan ; Warwick is associated with the legendary Guy, the Wars of the Roses and the great Earl, the " King- ; PREFACE vii Maker;" Linlithgow is rich in Stuart memories,— it was the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots -, Caernavon was the birthplace of the first Prince of Wales ; Raby was the home of the famous Nevilles ; Harry Hotspur dwelt at Alnwick; the shadow of Louis XL darkens Plessis-Ies- Tours ; Wyclif, Stephen Langton and the Lollards cling to Lambeth ; Futtehpore-Sikri recalls the splendours of the great Akbar ; Wolsey dominates Hampton Court Palace Catherine de'Medici presides over Chaumont ; Charles Vn., Joan of Arc and Agnes Sorel may be evoked at Chinon ; Berkeley was the scene of the murder of Ed- ward n. ; Agnes Sorel is again at Loches ; Francois L, Henri IV. and Diane de Poictiers haunt Fontainebleau the Riccardi is filled with Medici crimes ; the sombre Vecchio holds memories of the brilliant and wicked Cosmo L ; and as the entire history of Florence may be read in the walls of the latter palace, so all the events and phases of Venetian story are centred in the Ducal Palace. Chenonceaux, *' the fairy palace of Armida," and Kensing- ton are exceptional in containing no stains of blood. Leigh Hunt aptly remarks : " Windsor Castle is a place to receive monarchs in ; Buckingham Palace, to see fashions in ; Kensington Palace a place to drink tea in," exhibit- ing "the domestic side of royalty." Its gardens, however, call up all the fashion, beauty and wit of the Eighteenth Century. We may suggest to the lovers of beautiful scenery that the pleasure they experience is often largely due to the presence of the castle in the landscape ; and we may re- Vlll PREFACE mind him, what an important feature Turner made of the castle in his paintings. Sometimes, indeed, he went so far as to introduce one when his artistic feeling told him that a peak or crag was incomplete without its embattled towers. What would the rock of Edinburgh be without " Auld Reekie," or the parks of Arundel, Berkeley, or Alnwick without their grey towers seen through vistas framed in foliage ? The Wartburg in the Thuringer Forest, and Stirling and Conway, surrounded by the mountains of Scot- land and Wales, are also notable examples of the aid of the castle in completing the picturesque effect of the landscape. The translations have been made especially for this book ; and in order to give as much continuous history of each building as possible, I have sometimes been compelled to cut. Otherwise, the essays remain unchanged. My thanks are extended to Messrs. Houghton, Mifflin & Co. for their kind permission to reprint the selections from Hawthorne, E. S. New York, August, igoi.

By whatever name we call it, however, Conway town itself is equally interesting and equally beautiful. It still presents perhaps the best specimen yet remaining in Britain of a mediaeval borough, begirt to this day with its Thir- teenth Century walls, and overlooked by the towers of its strong castle-fortress.

This ornamentation defines Emirates the minarets, porches, interior courtyards and patios. The ceramic colors in different tones and arrangements provide spaces with an exceptional quality that highly characterizes this medieval Arab architecture. The polychromic compositions of the ceramic with their intrinsic spatial and aesthetical value remain largely unexplored. This research attempts to explore first, an untapped ancestral know-how or “savoir- faire” and second, to demonstrate that this architectural heritage has a colorful atmosphere, whose evolution is linked to the relationship between shapes, lights, materials and colors as well as its socio-cultural context. The investigation method consists of a survey of colors on ceramics and an analysis of arrangement patterns between colors and geometry (relationship and mixtures of colors) to determine the rhythms, harmonies of figures and background, optical compositions, and finally determine the color language and agreements that result. Color properties, the subtle combination of colors and materials interacting with an exquisite geometry display a decisive influence on the appearance and the ambiance that emerge, providing brightness and light, creating rhythm, motley and fusion in a web of optical effects, filled with symbolism, suitable for the cultural and religious circumstances of the place.

  • Star Wars at MT
    NEW STAR WARS AT MADAME TUSSAUDS UNIQUE INTERACTIVE STAR WARS EXPERIENCE OPENS MAY 2015 A NEW multi-million pound experience opens at Madame Tussauds London in May, with a major new interactive Star Wars attraction. Created in close collaboration with Disney and Lucasfilm, the unique, immersive experience brings to life some of film’s most powerful moments featuring extraordinarily life- like wax figures in authentic walk-in sets. Fans can star alongside their favourite heroes and villains of Star Wars Episodes I-VI, with dynamic special effects and dramatic theming adding to the immersion as they encounter 16 characters in 11 separate sets. The attraction takes the Madame Tussauds experience to a whole new level with an experience that is about much more than the wax figures. Guests will become truly immersed in the films as they step right into Yoda's swamp as Luke Skywalker did in Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back or feel the fiery lava of Mustafar as Anakin turns to the dark side in Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith. Spanning two floors, the experience covers a galaxy of locations from the swamps of Dagobah and Jabba’s Throne Room to the flight deck of the Millennium Falcon. Fans can come face-to-face with sinister Stormtroopers; witness Luke Skywalker as he battles Darth Vader on the Death Star; feel the Force alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn when they take on Darth Maul on Naboo; join the captive Princess Leia and the evil Jabba the Hutt in his Throne Room; and hang out with Han Solo in the cantina before stepping onto the Millennium Falcon with the legendary Wookiee warrior, Chewbacca.

Casablanca, economic heart of the Kingdom, lives at a frenetic pace. Business and art go side by side here, often intermingling. It is here, above all, that tones and trends are set. Why is it that so many artists have found their inspiration in Casablanca? Perhaps the contrasting curves of its Art Deco buildings are enough to cast a spell over them.

Michael Rogers featured the Qastal prominently in a major article published in 1971 in which he discussed numerous occurrences of the redeployment of classical buildings—and the less frequent copying of classical decoration—in Syria and Anatolia in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. I offer the following thoughts on the Qastal in admiration of just one aspect of Michael’s unparalleled erudition. Michael Rogers entitled his article “A Renaissance of Classical Antiquity in North Syria,” and argued that the “localisation of the classicising decoration…and its restriction to a period of little more than fifty years suggests very strongly that it was indeed a revival.”2 The suggestion I would like to propose here is that we need to distinguish more exactly between adoption and adaptation; that there are only very few structures with ex professo evocations of the classical past, and that the intention behind these evocations differed widely—in short, that we are not dealing with a single phenome- non, but with a variety of responses that call for more nuanced readings.

FELLOW OF THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTS AUTHOR OF THE RENAISSANCE UNDER THE VALOIS NEW YORK D. APPLETON AND COMPANY 1896 Copyright, 1896, By D. APPLETON AND COMPANY. INTRODUCTORY. Architecture, like philosophy, dates from the morning of the mind's history. Primitive man found Nature beautiful to look at, wet and uncomfortable to live in; a shelter became the first desideratum; and hence arose " the most useful of the fine arts, and the finest of the useful arts." Its history, however, does not begin until the thought of beauty had insinuated itself into the mind of the builder.
