    ALINA BUDZYńSKA* COLOUR, FORM AND LIGHT FUN: ARTISTIC GLASS IN ARCHITECTURE FORMA, KOLOR A zabawy światłem CZYLI SZKŁO ARTYSTYCZNE W ARCHITEKTURZE A b s t r a c t Art glass has a privileged position in the architectural space. This is due to its basic property of transparency, and its close relationship with light as a factor which deter- mines form, texture and colour. Therefore playing with architectural glass in archi- tecture is related to the most fundamental matters. This article presents several issues related to the effect of art glass on the architectural space. Each of the façade glass examples has been made using a different technique.

The pleasure that one takes in creation, the freedom and unpredictability of the result lead to freeing the creativity of the artist. When having fun, we are more willing to experiment and find it easier to tackle difficult tasks. We are more open to applying original solutions which we would normally feel were impractica- ble, and which could well prove to be the best solutions once the technical details have been fine-tuned.

  • Technical Research Bulletin
    Technical Research Bulletin Volume 8 2014 SUMMARY A Venetian enamelled and gilded goblet (WB.55) is part of Technical study of a the collection bequeathed to the British Museum by Baron Ferdinand Rothschild in 1898. Conservation treatment in 1994 provided the rare Venetian turquoise opportunity to remove a small sample containing some opaque white as well as rare turquoise glass. These fragments were analysed glass goblet from the using scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry and by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass Waddesdon Bequest spectrometry. Further analyses were carried out on the enamels and blue glass knop of the goblet using surface X-ray fluorescence. Dora Thornton, Ian Freestone, William This contribution locates the object in the context of Venetian glass of the Renaissance as well as the history of collecting. The Gudenrath, Martina Bertini, Andrew conservation history and the processes employed to conserve the Meek and Denise Ling object prior to its redisplay in the new Waddesdon Gallery at the British Museum in 2015 are described. Careful macroscopic and microscopic observations are combined with the chemical analyses to outline a comprehensive chaîne opératoire for the object. Technically, it is fully consistent with current understanding of glass production in Venice in the late fifteenth century. The goblet The Venetian turquoise goblet (WB.55), which is the focus of this contribution, is one of the finest Renaissance glasses to be seen anywhere in the world, Figure 1. It came to the British Museum as part of the Waddesdon Bequest, a treas- ury collection formed over two generations by Baron Anselm de Rothschild of Frankfurt and Vienna, and his son Baron Ferdinand Rothschild, MP.

ARCL0099 Archaeological Glass and Glazes 1 OVERVIEW Short description The module outlines the development of the production of glass and glazes from the Bronze Age through to the early modern period, with examples from a wide range of periods and cultures. All aspects of glass production are considered from raw materials through to the fabrication of beads, vessels and windows. Attention is drawn to the relationship between form and technology and the development of glassmaking ingredients over time. Particular emphasis is placed upon the chemical composition of glass, how and why it changes with time, and how it can be used to address problems such as provenance and dating. The course is well illustrated with examples of glass working from the literature, experimental archaeology and ethnographic observations. While archaeometric analyses form a key element of the course they are introduced in a user friendly way so that they are understandable by participants with an arts/humanities background. 2 ARCL0099 Course Schedule (Term 2, 2019-20, Mondays 09.00-11.00) Week Title Contents 1.

    APPENDIX IV.C Cultural Resources Study VIA EMAIL May 13, 2008 Mr. Dale Goldsmith Armbruster & Goldsmith, LLP 10940 Wilshire Blvd, #2100 Los Angeles, CA 90024 Re: Historic Resources Assessment and Impacts Analysis for Wilshire-La Brea project, Los Angeles, CA Dear Mr. Goldsmith: We have been asked to provide an historic resources assessment to evaluate potential impacts of the proposed new mixed-use development at Wilshire-La Brea on adjacent and nearby historical resources. This assessment evaluates buildings on the project site, as well as those that may be adjacent and nearby for historic significance, under applicable statutes and regulations of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), National Register of Historic Resources (National Register), California Register of Historical Resources (California Register), and City of Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument (HCM) program. INTRODUCTION The proposed project site entails the square block bounded by Wilshire Boulevard to north, S. Sycamore Avenue to east, W. 8th Street to south, and S. La Brea Avenue to west (hereinafter “subject property” or “project site”) (Attachment A – Figure 1). The project site is partially occupied by two buildings, 752 S. La Brea Avenue (Metroplaza Mall) and 5220 Wilshire Boulevard (Wilshire Grace Church), with the rest of site developed as surface parking lots.1 The following evaluation establishes the regulatory setting, including a summary of local, state and national historical resource designations in the area surrounding the proposed project site. This is followed by an assessment of potential direct and indirect impacts and identification of feasible mitigation measures to reduce impacts to a less than significant level.

  • An Introduction to Murano Glass Chandeliers
    AN INTRODUCTION TO MMURANOURANO GGLASSLASS CCHANDELIERSHANDELIERS Albrici MURANO The fi rst document to prove the existence of glass furnaces in Venice dates back to 982, more than a thousand years ago. Subsequently every Venetian furnace was moved to the Island of Murano due to the high risk of fi res that could have spread during the processing of glass. In 1291 infact, Murano became the center for glassmaking when the Vene- tian Republic, fearing that fi re could eventually destruct its mostly wooden building decided to move glassmakers foundries to the nearby island. The glassmakers became soon the most prominent citizens of Murano and by the 14th century they were allowed to wear swords and enjoyed immu- nity from prosecution by the Venetian government. However they were not allowed to leave the Venetian Republic, so as not to spread their art in other places.
