  • The Sasanian Tradition in ʽabbāsid Art: Squinch Fragmentation As The
    The Sasanian Tradition in ʽAbbāsid Art: squinch fragmentation as The structural origin of the muqarnas La tradición sasánida en el arte ʿabbāssí: la fragmentación de la trompa de esquina como origen estructural de la decoración de muqarnas A tradição sassânida na arte abássida: a fragmentação do arco de canto como origem estrutural da decoração das Muqarnas Alicia CARRILLO1 Abstract: Islamic architecture presents a three-dimensional decoration system known as muqarnas. An original system created in the Near East between the second/eighth and the fourth/tenth centuries due to the fragmentation of the squinche, but it was in the fourth/eleventh century when it turned into a basic element, not only all along the Islamic territory but also in the Islamic vocabulary. However, the origin and shape of muqarnas has not been thoroughly considered by Historiography. This research tries to prove the importance of Sasanian Art in the aesthetics creation of muqarnas. Keywords: Islamic architecture – Tripartite squinches – Muqarnas –Sasanian – Middle Ages – ʽAbbāsid Caliphate. Resumen: La arquitectura islámica presenta un mecanismo de decoración tridimensional conocido como decoración de muqarnas. Un sistema novedoso creado en el Próximo Oriente entre los siglos II/VIII y IV/X a partir de la fragmentación de la trompa de esquina, y que en el siglo XI se extendió por toda la geografía del Islam para formar parte del vocabulario del arte islámico. A pesar de su importancia y amplio desarrollo, la historiografía no se ha detenido especialmente en el origen formal de la decoración de muqarnas y por ello, este estudio pone de manifiesto la influencia del arte sasánida en su concepción estética durante el Califato ʿabbāssí.

  • Commerce and Exchange Buildings Listing Selection Guide Summary
    Commerce and Exchange Buildings Listing Selection Guide Summary Historic England’s twenty listing selection guides help to define which historic buildings are likely to meet the relevant tests for national designation and be included on the National Heritage List for England. Listing has been in place since 1947 and operates under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. If a building is felt to meet the necessary standards, it is added to the List. This decision is taken by the Government’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). These selection guides were originally produced by English Heritage in 2011: slightly revised versions are now being published by its successor body, Historic England. The DCMS‘ Principles of Selection for Listing Buildings set out the over-arching criteria of special architectural or historic interest required for listing and the guides provide more detail of relevant considerations for determining such interest for particular building types. See https:// www.gov.uk/government/publications/principles-of-selection-for-listing-buildings. Each guide falls into two halves. The first defines the types of structures included in it, before going on to give a brisk overview of their characteristics and how these developed through time, with notice of the main architects and representative examples of buildings. The second half of the guide sets out the particular tests in terms of its architectural or historic interest a building has to meet if it is to be listed. A select bibliography gives suggestions for further reading. This guide treats commercial buildings. These range from small local shops to huge department stores, from corner pubs to Victorian ‘gin palaces’, from simple sets of chambers to huge speculative office blocks.

During this period, there is a striking dynamism in the defi- Rnition of original plans, new building solutions and in the first architectural sculpture ex- periments, especially in the regions of Burgundy, Poitou, Auvergne (France) and Catalonia (Spain). However, it is between 1060 and 1080 that Romanesque architecture consolidates its main techni- cal and formal innovations. According to Barral i Altet, the plans of the Romanesque churches, despite their diversity, are well defined around 1100; simultaneously, sculpture invades the building, covering the capitals and decorating façades and cloisters. The Romanesque has been regarded as the first European style. While it is certain that Romanesque architecture and arts are a common phenomenon to the European kingdoms of that period, the truth is that one of its main stylistic characteristics is exactly its regional diversity. It is from this standpoint that we should understand Portuguese Romanesque architecture, which developed in Portugal from the late 11th century on- wards.

As a reference, the architectural element characteristic of Wali mosque (local mosque) needs to be known, so that this paper aims to find a description of a local mosque (Wali mosque), and also description of architectural elements of non- local mosques (mosques with foreign cultural context) because one of the causes of changes in mosque architecture is cultural factors. The findings of this paper are expected to be input for further studies on the details of physical changes in the architectural elements of mosques in Indonesia. The study subjects taken were 6 Wali mosques that were widely known by the Indonesian Muslim community as Wali mosques and 6 non-local mosques that were very well known and frequently visited by Indonesian Muslim communities. Data obtained from literature studies, interviews and observations. The analysis is done by sketching from visual data, critiquing data, making interpretations, making comparisons and compiling the chronology of the findings.

  • Medieval Christendom
    Chapter 9 MEDIEVAL CHRISTENDOM • The complexities of Early Medieval civilization reflect its origin in the turbulent centuries following the death of Charlemagne in 814. • Charlemagne’s empire began to crumble internally a decade before his death. • The empire also came under attack from the Muslims from Spain and the Vikings in the North. • In 911, the king of the western Franks granted territorial rights to a Viking band who had settled in the area, now known as Normandy, with their leader given the title of duke and baptized a Christian the next year. • Germany and France began to take shape under their own ruling houses and to develop individual cultures. • Monasticism developed organically acquiring the importance of a supranational force. Key Terms: rune stone pilgrimage Gothic Ottonian tympanum fresco westwork Romanesque Tres Riches Heures Learning Objectives: • The importance of churches and how they changed throughout the Middle Ages. • The representation of Christ in northern Europe. • The emergence of churches in Romanesque and Gothic periods. • The importance of the pilgrimages socially and for the Church. • The use of art outside the Church. Cross of Gero (fig. 9.1) • The early Christians had depicted Christ as healer, teacher, law-giver, or judge. • For them the cross was a symbol of triumph over death. • Byzantine artists sometimes depicted the cross after the Iconoclastic period, but always with a restrained and dignified remoteness stressing its sacramental significance. Page 83 • This presentation of Christ as a degraded, humiliated, suffering god in human form was something that did not start until the Middle Ages. • The image here has no precedent as it illustrates Christ exhausted by physical pain and torment, stomach bulging, head slumped forward with eyes closed and mouth very slightly open.

  • The Iron-Glass Roof of the Milan Gallery Vittorio Emanuele II: Knowing the Past, Understanding the Present and Preservation for the Future
    Structural Studies, Repairs and Maintenance of Heritage Architecture XIV 75 The iron-glass roof of the Milan Gallery Vittorio Emanuele II: knowing the past, understanding the present and preservation for the future I. Stoyanova Department of Architecture and Urban Studies, Polytechnic University of Milan, Italy Abstract Past research discussed the genesis of the Milan Gallery Vittorio Emanuele II and its importance as an emblematic example of 19th century glazed arcades. The iron-glass cover was hailed as a significant technological accomplishment at the time. Previous personal studies highlighted the reinforcing system which integrated the iron roof into the surrounding masonry structures and the glazing system as characteristic technological aspects which were closely related to the monumental vocation of the Gallery and survived until the present day. This paper deepens the knowledge on the reinforcing and the glazing systems respectively as solutions for lateral thrust management and as a complex of glazing techniques which obtained architectural value in the case of the Gallery. The introduction outlines the complex Gallery genesis in relation to its monumental vocation. The paper then explains the elements and the logic of the two systems in view of the 19th century building practice. Next, these studies argue that the roof reconstruction after the Second World War conserved the primary roof system and improved the long-term performance of the original glazing technology with technical alterations such as dilatation joints and trapezoidal laps instead of triangular ones. The paper also documents the present- day state of the reinforcing and glazing systems and discusses which aspects complied with the original technology and which were introduced in the post- war reconstruction.

    The Changing Design of Shopping Places From the palatial department SHOPPING IS an interaction between a marketing strategy and the store to the no-frills power design of the shopping place.

Sometimes changes in retailing environments. in shopping are driven by environmental innovations, sometimes by innovations in strategy, and sometimes innovations occur in both realms at once.
