In addition to the great examples of architecture and applied arts dating from this period, now preserved within cities and museums, there are a multitude of projects which were never carried out or were temporary in nature, as well as demolished buildings or forgotten structures which, in some cases, have now benefitted from new usage. All these works display a variety of illustrations of this style so worthy of remembrance, and they deserve to be better known and appreciated. Using a wide range of European examples, this international colloquium has presented the first general record of that heritage, which has been subject in varying degrees to obscurity, loss, or re-usage. Over three sessions, the lecturers have explored the problems inextricably linked to reflections on the nature, origins or future of Art Nouveau in Europe. The historiography behind the rediscovery of this style, retraced by Stephan Tschudi- Madsen, enables us to follow the slow process that led in successive stages to its recognition on a world- wide scale. This rehabilitation has been gradual, as opposed to the sudden extreme popularity– described by Rossana Bossaglia – that Art Nouveau enjoyed in the early XX century, notably due to international exhibitions. Jean-Paul Bouillon has produced an in-depth analysis on the important role played by the Art Nouveau line, both structurally and as an identifying feature, as distinguished from other, similar modes of expression. Art Nouveau’s relationship with the city and urban design, evoked by Paul Greenhalgh, illustrates the quest for a new, symbolic order comparable to the ethos of modernity. Finally, Françoise Aubry has criticised the whimsical pursuit of authenticity in the restoration of Art Nouveau interiors, pleading instead for greater awareness of the « emotion » involved in this type of operation. This extensive evaluation is completed by analyses of several actual cases. In this way, the Réseau Art Nouveau Network has sought to contribute to the rediscovery of vital elements within Art Nouveau’s creative output, promoting better understanding of a movement which has left its mark on most European cities. Le patrimoine Art nouveau, tel que nous le percevons aujourd’hui, est le fruit de nombreuses vicissitudes. Face aux grands témoins de l’architecture ou des arts appliqués de cette période, désormais protégés dans les villes et les musées, se dresse la multitude de projets jamais réalisés ou éphémères, d’œuvres détruites, ou encore d’édifices oubliés qui, dans certains cas, bénéficient actuellement de nouvelles affectations. Toutes ces réalisations constituent autant d’expressions de ce style dont il convient de conserver la mémoire et qui méritent d’être davantage mises en valeur. Ce colloque international a proposé pour la première fois, à travers un large éventail d’exemples européens, un état des lieux de ce patrimoine ayant subi, à des degrés divers, la logique de l’oubli, de la disparition ou de la réutilisation. Au cours de trois sessions, les conférenciers ont abordé des problématiques indissociables de toute réflexion sur la nature, les origines ou le devenir de l’Art nouveau en Europe. L’historiographie de la redécouverte de ce style, retracée par Stephan Tschudi-Madsen, permet de parcourir le lent processus qui, par étapes successives, a amené à sa reconnaissance à l’échelle mondiale. Une réhabilitation progressive à opposer à l’engouement très soudain – décrit par Rossana Bossaglia – dont fit l’objet l’Art nouveau au début du XXe siècle, grâce notamment aux expositions internationales. Jean-Paul Bouillon livre une analyse approfondie du rôle structurant et signalétique de la ligne Art nouveau, à distinguer d’autres modes d’expression similaires. La relation de l’Art nouveau à la ville et à l’imaginaire urbain, évoquée par Paul Greenhalgh, illustre, elle, la quête d’un nouvel ordre symbolique pouvant être assimilé à la modernité. Françoise Aubry dénonce, enfin, la recherche d’une authenticité chimérique en matière de restauration des intérieurs Art nouveau, plaidant pour une meilleure prise en compte de l’« émotion » dans ce type d’interventions. L’analyse de nombreux cas concrets complète ce vaste tour d’horizon, par lequel le Réseau Art Nouveau Network a souhaité contribuer à la redécouverte d’un pan essentiel de la production Art nouveau, et promouvoir ainsi une meilleure com- préhension d’un mouvement ayant marqué de son empreinte la plupart des pays d’Europe. 4 5 définir la re-lecture que vous voulez proposer de redécouvertes, de réévaluations aussi, d’avancées Allocution de bienvenue l’Art nouveau européen, dans ce colloque d’abord, scientifiques et techniques.

These goals play an important role in promoting social progress. The key characteristic of progressive cities should be their openness to the general public and equal accessibility for everyone regardless of their gender, race, age, or social status, and under the same conditions. Public buildings with their associated public spaces form an integral part of the city. For public buildings to be truly public these should follow the same principles as the open city. And it is architecture that has the power to design such truly public buildings. Unfortunately, Slovenia has not yet recognized that it could constitute itself as a modern state through the architecture of public buildings. Keywords: state, values of social progress, public building This article deals with the topical issues of the architecture of public buildings in Slovenia after 1991 viewed through the social values of progress. The introductory presentation of the issues and key terms (state, social values of progress, public building) is followed by an attempt to find the answer to the question which principles of the modern state should public buildings reflect and enforce, using the listed references (the primary reference being an essay by Richard Sennett entitled The Open City).

  • Town Trail – Secession Ljubljana

You can start your path anywhere you like, but make sure to walk the whole path and collect as many correct answers as possible. Estimated time of the task is 90 minutes. A SECESSION LJUBLJANA The term »Secession« in Slovenia is used following the example ! of the Vienna Secession (in other European countries the terms Art Nouveau, Jugendstil, Modern Style, Liberty, etc. are also used as a name for this period), because in the Art Nouveau period, the Slovenian territory was a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and numerous Slovenian artists and architects studied in Vienna. The term » Ljubljana Secession « is a name for the neighbourhood between the old city centre and the main railway station. This neighbourhood was mostly rebuilt between the years of 1895 and 1910. It includes many important and well preserved architectural masterpieces. Secession Ljubljana is one of the most recognisable parts of the city and that part of our cultural heritage which put Ljubljana alongside the biggest Art Nouveau capital cities, such as Brussels, Vienna, Paris, Barcelona. On Easter, 14th of April 1895 at 11.17pm CET time, Ljubljana, with ! its 31,000 citizens and 1,400 buildings, was shaken by a very strong earthquake (its aftershocks were existing all the way to Vienna in Austria, Split in Croatia and Florence in Italy). About 10% of the buildings had to be demolished and all the rest were in need of a restoration.

  • The Influence of Major Cities Architecture on Form of Krakow Town Houses from the Turn of the 20 Th Century
    International Journal of Arts & Sciences, CD-ROM. ISSN: 1944-6934 :: 08(01):305–315 (2015) THE INFLUENCE OF MAJOR CITIES ARCHITECTURE ON FORM OF KRAKOW TOWN HOUSES FROM THE TURN OF THE 20 TH CENTURY Beata Makowska Krakow University of Technology, Poland Krakow town houses dating from the turn of the 20 th century combine a local tradition with tendencies popularized in major European cities ( i.a. Vienna, Paris, Berlin). They present stylistic diversity and individualization of the arrangement of their facades. Many of town houses were apparently influenced, among others, by the then important Vienna school. The decorations combine both the typical geometrical motifs of the Wiener Secession and plant motifs that were usually limited to clearly separated spaces. The influence of the Wiener Secession can be seen in geometrised forms, especially in the motif of a circle with three vertical strips, where the middle strip was often the longest one. In many Krakow structures the impact of Wagner’s works is visible – this refers, among others, to the method of arrangement of decorations on the fa çade (the “floating” façade), in the selection of forms, such as aluminium pins (dots), geometrical divisions (checks), the attic consisting of the simple sectional form supplemented by an iron guard-rail fixed on bricked brackets over the eaves, the window joinery with square divisions (the Quadrastil promoted by the Wiener Werkstätte ), borders of main façade fields, the graphic treatment of bars between windows, or the introduction of inscriptions on façades that are used not only because of their symbolic meaning, but also due to the value of their composition and decorations.

    ART NOUVEAU AND THE RESISTANCE TO GERMANIZATION IN ALSACE-LORRAINE, CA. 1898-1914 Peter Clericuzio University of Pennsylvania Between August of 1870 and May of 1871, the French and the Germans fought each other in a conflict whose effects reverberated for the next fifty years. The Franco-Prussian War, sometimes known as the “war that split France and united Germany,”1 had its most long-lasting consequences in the region of Alsace-Lorraine (Fig. 1). Grudgingly handed over to the Germans by the French as one of the spoils of victory, Alsace-Lorraine became the focus of a complex cultural debate that continued at least until the end of World War II. Alsace-Lorraine was returned to France in 1919 (and—except for a brief re-annexation by the Nazis—has remained French territory ever since), but the legacy of its precarious geopolitical situation still can be seen today in the unique sets of laws, customs, and traditions that survive.2 In the decade and a half preceding World War I, the debate over the identity of Alsace- Lorraine and its ties to both France and Germany intensified with the appearance of the style known as Art Nouveau, particularly around the city of Nancy that was located barely thirty kilometres from the post-1871 border established by the Treaty of Frankfort. In Nancy, Art Nouveau became at once an emblem of defiance of the political reality that Alsace-Lorraine was now a German province and a rallying point for the hope that France might someday recapture these “lost provinces.” As the new rulers systematically began to physically and culturally rebuild Alsace-Lorraine after 1871 with a more recognizably German cultural character—bringing it in line with the rest of the Second Reich—many of the regionʼs residents resisted their efforts.

  • The Slovenes and Secession W
    The Slovenes and Secession ritings on Secession in Slovene regions, and on Slovene artists of Wthe period, have been relatively few. Scarcely any thematic sur­ veys exist that go beyond a monograph on a single monument or a single architect's oeuvre. Among the authors, mention should first be made of Nace Šumi, who presen ted the Secession architecture of Ljubljana in his pioneering study on the theme; then Fran Šijanec and his general survey of modern art in Slovenia; Borut Rovšnik made a survey of Secession architectural ornamentation; a cata­ logue was published on the occasion of the exhibition of Secession applied arts in the Narodni muzej (National Museum), Ljubljana; Franc Obal studied the overall features of Secession architecture in Murska Sobota; and Damjan Prelovšek has published a number of well-founded studies on individual problems of Secession ar­ chitecture here and on the work of some leading architects of the period. 1 The shortcomings of all the studies on Secession in Slovene re­ gions are, on the one hand, their fragmentary character and, on the other, the presentation of only a few aspects of this phenom­ enon, which are either more familiar to the authors or their prefer­ ences. The widest scope, both in terms of the theme and the in­ clusion of the entire Slovene territory, was achieved in the compi­ lation of texts published asa catalogue to the exhibition of Seces­ sion applied arts. Unfortunately, no similar initiative followed to highlight and eval ua te the achievements of this period in the field of architecture and urban planning for all Slovene territory.
