  • 1 Classical Architectural Vocabulary
    Classical Architectural Vocabulary The five classical orders The five orders pictured to the left follow a specific architectural hierarchy. The ascending orders, pictured left to right, are: Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, and Composite. The Greeks only used the Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian; the Romans added the ‘bookend’ orders of the Tuscan and Composite. In classical architecture the selected architectural order for a building defined not only the columns but also the overall proportions of a building in regards to height. Although most temples used only one order, it was not uncommon in Roman architecture to mix orders on a building. For example, the Colosseum has three stacked orders: Doric on the ground, Ionic on the second level and Corinthian on the upper level. column In classical architecture, a cylindrical support consisting of a base (except in Greek Doric), shaft, and capital. It is a post, pillar or strut that supports a load along its longitudinal axis. The Architecture of A. Palladio in Four Books, Leoni (London) 1742, Book 1, plate 8. Doric order Ionic order Corinthian order The oldest and simplest of the five The classical order originated by the The slenderest and most ornate of the classical orders, developed in Greece in Ionian Greeks, characterized by its capital three Greek orders, characterized by a bell- the 7th century B.C. and later imitated with large volutes (scrolls), a fascinated shaped capital with volutes and two rows by the Romans. The Roman Doric is entablature, continuous frieze, usually of acanthus leaves, and with an elaborate characterized by sturdy proportions, a dentils in the cornice, and by its elegant cornice.

  • Architecture and Polite Culture in Eighteenth-Century England: Blackstone' S Architectural Manuscripts'
    ARCHITECTURE ÂND POLITE CULTURE IN EIGHTEENTH-CE,NTURY ENGLAND : BLÁ.CKSTONE'S,\RCHITECTUR-,\L MANUSCRIPTS By Catol Matthews BA (F{ons) Discþline of History, School of History and Politics University of Adelaide March,2007 'Architecture and Polite Culture in Eighteenth-Century England: Blackstone' s Architectural Manuscripts' Thesis Abstract Sir William Blackstone (1723 - 1780) is a significant historical figure, known to historians as a judge and as the author of the highly influential Commentaries on the Laws of England (1765 - 1769). An enormous scholarly literature has been devoted to Blackstone's legal thought. As Prest recently observed however, biographers have long acknowledged the existence of Blackstone's interest in architecture, yet its "duration, depth and significance [has] never been properly explored or appreciated".l This thesis takes up that challenge, arguing that an understanding of hìs unpublished architectural treátise, 'Elemenis of Architecture' (1746 - ll47),2 enriches our understanding of Blackstone and of his jurisprudence. The thesis seeks to establish, for the first time, architecture's role in Blackstone's life and intellectual development. It endeavours, most importantly, to determine the extent to which the use of architectural metaphor in his great legal text might offer a new perspective on his reputation as an arch conservative and upon the methodology and very genesis of the Commentaries. The thesis has three major aims: to situate Blackstone's treatise within its biographical, historical and intellectual contexts, to concluct a rletailed examination of the manuscript and, thirdly, to identifu key issues and questions worthy of further research. Thus, it adopts an innovative methodology: that of a scholarly edition of Blackstone's 'Elements of Architecture'.

Frédérique Lemerle CNRS, Centre d’études supérieures de la Renaissance, Tours The Vitruvian Lexicon in Sixteenth-Century France1 One of the most important architectural publications in sixteenth-century France was Jean Martin's 1547 translation of Vitruvius' De Architectura.2 Previously, Vitruvius had only been available in Latin – the most recent editions were published in Lyon in 15233 and Strasbourg in 1543,4 – and Italian – Cesariano (1521),5 Durantino (1524, 1535)6 and Caporali (1536).7 Vitruvius thus remained the reserve of humanists and men of letters, who, with the exception of a few brilliant figures such as the Lyon-based antique dealer Guillaume du Choul, the scholar Guillaume Budé, who had followed Fra Giocondo's lectures in Paris, and the learned Guillaume Philandrier, initiated into architectural theory by Serlio himself, tended to be rather ignorant about architecture and its terminology.

  • 282 the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. the Temple
    282 THE TEMPLE OF APOLLO AT DELPHI. THE TEMPLE OF APOLLO AT DELPHI. IN many respects Delphi and its varied cults possess an interest which is not to be rivalled by that of any other Hellenic site. The lofty precipices, the dark deeply-cleft ravines, the mysterious caves, and the bubbling springs of pure water, combine to give the place a romantic charm and a fearfulness of aspect which no description can adequately depict. Again Delphi stands alone in the catholic multiplicity of the different cults which were there combined. In primitive times it was the awfulness of Nature which impressed itself on the imaginations of the inhabitants. In an early stage of development the mind of man tends to gloomy forms of religion : his ignorance and comparative helplessness tend to fill his brain with spiritual terrors and forebodings. Thus at Delphi the primitive worship was that of the gloomy Earth and her children, the chasm-rending Poseidon, and the Chthonian Dionysus, who, like Osiris, was the victim of the evil powers of Nature. It was not till later times that the bright Phoebus Apollo came to Delphi to slay the earth-born Python, just as the rising sun dissipates the shadows in the depths of the Delphian ravines, or as in the Indian legend the god Indra kills with his bright arrows the great serpent Ahi—symbol of the black thunder-cloud. With him Apollo brings his mother and sister, Leto and Artemis, his usual companions, and then later still Athene* is added to the group of celestial deities who were worshipped by the side of the Chthonians, and by degrees took the foremost place in the religious conceptions of the worshippers at Delphi.2 Moreover as an oracular shrine Delphi stands quite alone among the many oracles of the Greeks.
