  • From Azulejos to Zaguanes: the Islamic Legacy in the Built
    From Azulejos to Zagutmes: The Islamic Legacy in the Built Environment of Hispano-America R. Brooks Jeffery They lack our faith, but we lack their works. - Cardinal Ximenez de Cisneros Prior to the Spanish colonization of the Americas, beginning at the end of the fifteenth century, Spain was completing the final chapters of the Reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula after eight centuries of Islamic rule and cultural dominance. Although often ignored in the histories of the Spanish colonial period, people of Muslim descent traveled to Hispano- America1 during its initial colonization. Evidence of this cultural assim- ilation can be seen in the profound legacy of Islamic architectural characteristics in the Hispano-American built environment that is still evident today. This paper attempts to recognize this Islamic legacy through an analysis of three levels of the Hispano-American built envi- ronment: ornamentation, architectural form, and open space. Historical Background Beginning in 711, a succession of Islamic dynasties ruled the Iberian Peninsula, including the Umayyads (711-750), Abbasids (750-1082), Almoravids (1082-1147), Almohads (1147-1184), and the Nasrids (1184-1492), producing many of Islamic architecture's finest monu- ments: the Great Mosque of Cordoba (786-991), the rural palatial complex of Medinat az-Zahra (936), and the Alhambra (1238-1492). Not long after the Islamic Empire reached its northernmost expansion at the Pyrenees Mountains of Spain in the eighth century, Christian R. Brooks Jeffrey earned Bachelor of Architecture and Master of Library Science degrees from the University of Arizona. He is the coordinator of the Preservation Studies Program in the College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, University of Arizona.

  • La Alhambra in Granada, One of the Most Beautiful and Admired Monuments in the Wold
    La Alhambra in Granada, one of the most beautiful and admired monuments in the wold. An old legend says that the Alhambra was built by night, in the light of torches. Its reddish dawn did believe the people of Grenada that the color was like the strength of the blood. The Alhambra, a monument of Granada for Spain and the world. La Alhambra was so called because of its reddish walls (in Arabic, («qa'lat al-Hamra'» means Red Castle ). It is located on top of the hill al-Sabika, on the left bank of the river Darro, to the west of the city of Granada and in front of the neighbourhoods of the Albaicin and of the Alcazaba. The Alhambra is one of the most serenely sensual and beautiful buildings in the world, a place where Moorish art and architecture reached their pinnacle. A masterpiece for you to admire, and it is in Granada, a city full of culture and history. Experience the beauty and admire this marvel of our architectural heritage. Let it touch your heart. Granada is the Alhambra and the gardens, the Cathedral, the Royal Chapel, convents and monasteries, the old islamic district Albayzin where the sunset is famous in the world or the Sacromonte where the gypsies perform flamenco shows in the caves where they used to live...Granada is this and many more things. The Alhambra is located on a strategic point in Granada city, with a view over the whole city and the meadow ( la Vega ), and this fact leads to believe that other buildings were already on that site before the Muslims arrived.

Huntington fundó la Hispanic Society of America para establecer un museo y una bliblioteca públicos y gratuitos con el fin de difundir la cultura de España y América Latina. Cuando la Sociedad abrió sus puertas al público en 1908, Huntington ya había adquirido y puesto en exposición una de las colecciones más importantes de cerámica española del mundo, incluyendo 60 piezas hispanomusulmanas de reflejo metálico, contando hoy día con 150 ejemplares. Continuando con la labor de completar la colección, la Sociedad adquirió otras piezas de cerámica española y mejicana pro- cedentes de alfares como Talavera de la Reina, Buen Retiro, Alcora, Puente del Arzobispo, Toledo, Sevilla, la ciudad de Méjico y Puebla. En este trabajo se dá una visión de la colección de cerámicas españolas y mejicanas que posee la Hispanic Society y de la historia de su adquisición.

    FACTA UNIVERSITATIS Series: Architecture and Civil Engineering Vol. 16, No 2, 2018, pp. 315-327 https://doi.org/10.2298/FUACE200521011T ARCHITECTURE AND CERAMIC MATERIALS, DEVELOPMENT THROUGH TIME: CERAMIC TILES AND CERAMIC ROOF TILES UDC 72:691.4 Gordana Topliĉić-Ćurĉić, Ana Momĉilović-Petronijević, Aleksandra Ćurĉić Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture, University of Niš, Serbia Abstract. Ceramic tiles and roof covers have been used in construction of architectonic structures from the earliest times. Their relatively simple production, as well as acceptable cost, contributed to the mass usage of these products. The paper presents a review of ceramic tiles and roof tiles, by laying out their development, shapes, physical properties and usage through history in various climates and time periods. The aim of the paper is understanding the importance of use and development of these products in architecture. Key words: ceramic materials, ceramic tiles, ceramic roof tiles, ceramo-plastics. 1. INTRODUCTION Ceramic products appeared very early in the area of civil engineering and architecture. Prior to gaining knowledge about how high temperatures modified clay characteristics, and prior to the beginning of mass usage of fired production in architecture, it was in its unfired form used in civil engineering as adobe. Usage of clay products is almost as old as architecture. Products obtained by shaping and baking of various types of clay – ceramic products, according to their appearance and purpose, can be classified as coarse and fine ceramics. The coarse ceramics are those intended for industrial use and use in civil engineering. In the first part of the paper, dealing with the development and historical background of usage of ceramic materials in architecture are presented adobe and bricks, as very common building materials in almost all epochs.

  • A Tile with Arabesque Designs Found at Terraços Do Carmo
    16th century azulejos excavated in Lisbon: a tile with arabesque designs found at Terraços do Carmo João Manuel Mimoso, Alexandre Pais, António Marques, Maria de Lurdes Esteves, Sílvia R. M. Pereira, Maria Augusta Antunes, Ana Margarida Cardoso, António Candeias abstract Counter to the notion that the production of azulejos in Portugal during the 16th century was scant, recent excavations are bringing to light shards that point to the opposite. The variety of fragments recovered from the ground will need many years of study to return a clear notion of what actually was produced at the time. In some instances, we come across particularly interesting shards which are in a condition good enough to allow attribution based on previous research. A recent excavation at an area once part of the grounds of the ancient Convento do Carmo (Carmo Convent) recovered a large fragment that offers stylistically an immediate connection with productions of Antwerp. This paper includes the results of an analytical research of that fragment and discusses its provenance, significance and likely chronology. resumo Contrariando a noção de que a produção de azulejos em Portugal durante o século XVI era escassa, escavações recentes têm trazido à luz fragmentos que apontam para o oposto. A variedade de fragmentos recuperados do solo precisará de muitos anos de estudo para oferecer uma noção clara do que realmente foi produzido na época. Por vezes, deparamo-nos com casos particularmente interessantes e que se encontram numa condição suficientemente boa para poderem ser estudados. Numa escavação recente, na envolvente do antigo Convento do Carmo, em Lisboa, foi recuperado um importante fragmento de um azulejo que sugere a nível estilístico uma ligação imediata a produções pouco divulgadas de Antuérpia.
