RACE, SPACE, and PLACE: the RELATION BETWEEN ARCHITECTURAL MODERNISM, POST-MODERNISM, URBAN PLANNING, and GENTRIFICATION Keith A
RACE, SPACE, AND PLACE: THE RELATION BETWEEN ARCHITECTURAL MODERNISM, POST-MODERNISM, URBAN PLANNING, AND GENTRIFICATION Keith Aoki * [Cite as: 20 Fordham Urb. L.J. 699 (1993)] Introduction Gentrification in United States urban housing markets of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s continues to be a controversial and complex phenomenon. [FN1] During the past twenty years, gentrification's effects on the core cities of the U.S. have been analyzed and evaluated many times over. [FN2] Descriptions of gentrification have spanned the ideological *700 spectrum, from laudatory embraces of gentrification as the solution to urban decline to denunciatory critiques of gentrification as another symptom of the widening gulf between the haves and the have- nots in America. [FN3] This Article critiques gentrification, adding an additional explanatory element to the ongoing account of the dynamics of American cities in the 1990s. The additional element is the relevance of a major aesthetic realignment in architecture and urban planning from a modernist to a post-modernist ideology in the 1970s and 1980s. This shift involved an aesthetic and economic revaluation of historical elements in older central city buildings, which accelerated the rate of gentrification, displacement, and abandonment. This Article describes how certain shifts in the aesthetic ideology [FN4] of urban planners and architects affected suburban and urban spatial distribution in the United States during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. These ideological shifts arose from deeply embedded American attitudes toward city and rural life that had emerged in American town planning and architectural theory and practice by the mid-nineteenth century. Part I of this Article examines the emergence of an anti-urban Arcadian strand in nineteenth century American town planning rhetoric. -
AUSTRALIAN ROMANESQUE a History of Romanesque-Inspired Architecture in Australia by John W. East 2016

Tasmania . 170 Chapter 1: Introduction In Australia there are four Catholic cathedrals designed in the Romanesque style (Canberra, Newcastle, Port Pirie and Geraldton) and one Anglican cathedral (Parramatta). These buildings are significant in their local communities, but the numbers of people who visit them each year are minuscule when compared with the numbers visiting Australia's most famous Romanesque building, the large Sydney retail complex known as the Queen Victoria Building. God and Mammon, and the Romanesque serves them both. Do those who come to pray in the cathedrals, and those who come to shop in the galleries of the QVB, take much notice of the architecture? Probably not, and yet the Romanesque is a style of considerable character, with a history stretching back to Antiquity. It was never extensively used in Australia, but there are nonetheless hundreds of buildings in the Romanesque style still standing in Australia's towns and cities. Perhaps it is time to start looking more closely at these buildings? They will not disappoint. The heyday of the Australian Romanesque occurred in the fifty years between 1890 and 1940, and it was largely a brick-based style. As it happens, those years also marked the zenith of craft brickwork in Australia, because it was only in the late nineteenth century that Australia began to produce high-quality, durable bricks in a wide range of colours. -

A second edition was printed in 2002 with a few minor changes. Since that printing, Wichita property owners have expressed a growing interest in listing their properties in the Register of Historic Kansas Places (RHKP) and the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and many have been added. Also, a commercial area, the Warehouse and Jobbers District, was listed in 2003 and Wichita’s four historic districts were listed in the RHKP and NRHP in 2004. In this latest edition additional research was conduct- ed to ensure accuracy. The brochure is organized alphabetically by the name of the structure. The entries are also numbered to correspond with locations on the map found at the front of the brochure. An online publication of the Discover Historic Wichita brochure is updated as properties and/or his- toric districts are added to Wichita’s inventory of list- ed properties. The current version is on the Historic Preservation Office website at http://www.wichita. gov/Residents/History/. Biographical notes of relevant architects have been added to this brochure. Wichita’s periods of economic boom and bust brought these professionals to town to take advantage of building surges. -

Melissa Mayhew History 586-B, Undergraduate Research Seminar on the Middle Ages Spring 2015 Instructor: Prof
1 Melissa Mayhew History 586-B, Undergraduate Research Seminar on the Middle Ages Spring 2015 Instructor: Prof. David Defries Castles of K-State Abstract: One of the most notable things about the Kansas State University campus is its abundance of castles. This paper argues that these castles were designed to match earlier buildings that were a part of medieval revival styles in architecture, particularly the Romanesque. What the medieval meant to the adopters of the Romanesque was different from the ideas of Englishness and aristocracy of the Gothic revival, yet they shared the use of medieval architecture as a statement against the standardization and cold logic of the Industrial Revolution. While the meaning and significance of the K-State castles has changed over the century or so they have existed, the differing values of what the medieval and modern symbolize still appear when new castles are built and the old ones restored. One of the most striking features of Kansas State University’s campus is the number of ‘castles’ it contains. Although these buildings are not technically castles, their towers, castellated parapets, and turrets, such as those seen on Nichols Hall and Holton Hall, stir most people to identify them with the large stone fortresses built in the Middle Ages. Most of the buildings on K-State’s campus are over a century old and while various reference books, histories, newspapers, and guides available in K-State’s Special Collections Archives helpfully say what styles the buildings are and point out that those styles were popular at the time the buildings were built, the sources do not discuss the significance of the buildings’ architectural styles. -
Historic Texas Jailhouses: Romanesque Revival, Identity, and Reform
Historic Texas Jailhouses: Romanesque Revival, Identity, and Reform Shawna Prather “A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Folklore.” Chapel Hill 2011 Approved by Bernard L. Herman Katherine R. Roberts Timothy W. Marr © 2011 Shawna Prather ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT SHAWNA PRATHER: Historic Texas Jailhouses: Romanesque Revival, Identity, and Reform (Under the Direction of Bernard L. Herman) Even though jailhouses dominate the skyline of many small Texas towns, not much work has been done on what those buildings mean in the historic context in which they were built. These jailhouses held specific meanings for small Texas communities and their townspeople that also helped to shape present day society. Texas jailhouse architecture between 1880 and 1910 reflected the desire to be modern, the desire for changes in prison reform, and the position of women and family in a newly civilized society. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS List of Figures……………………………………………………………………………………………..…v A Portrait of Late 19th Century Texas………………………………………………………………3 Texas and Law Enforcement…………………………………………………………………………..8 First Jails……………………………………………………………………………………………………...12 Romanesque Architecture: A Brief History…………………………………………………….16 Romanesque as Civic Identity………………………………………………………………………..18 Romanesque Revival Values and Prison Reform…………………………………………….30 Women, Moral Responsibility, and Social Reform…………………………………………..36 Texas Romanesque Revival Jails Today………………………………………………………….42 Bibliography…………………………………………………………………………………………………56 iv List of Figures 1.
