Abstract

The purpose of this book is to present the Hekatompedon Inscription at Athens ( IG I³ 4) as a major monument of Greek art, legitimately on a par with more famous landmarks of the Greek aesthetic tradition like the Parthenon Frieze. Inscribed most probably in the middle of the decade that saw the Greek response to the Persian invasion, the Hekatompedon Inscription has long been recognized for its historical and religious importance. This study looks at the inscription on its own terms: the unique fusion of its visual and textual content in that most Greek of epigraphical layouts, the stoikhedon style. Such an approach leads to the question of origins: where and why was the stoikhedon style formulated and where does the Hekatompedon Inscription stand in that development? Egypt’s influential system of proportions and use of grids will be considered determinative for the very first time.

Abstract

Tandis que la restauration récente des portails de la cathédrale de Rouen nous invite à redécouvrir un exceptionnel décor sculpté, cette étude propose une approche renouvelée et des clés de compréhension pour en faciliter le « décryptage ». Pourquoi le portail des Libraires se couvre-t-il, à la fin du xiiie siècle, de près de 200 bas-reliefs figurant des animaux fabuleux et des créatures hybrides aux côtés de la Création du monde ou encore d’Adam et Ève ? Comment ce premier « modèle » rouennais a-t-il été repris au cours du xive siècle au portail méridional, celui de la Calende, mais aussi à la primatiale Saint-Jean de Lyon, à l’abbaye Saint-Ouen de Rouen et même au palais des papes en Avignon ? Quels enjeux artistiques, religieux, voire politiques expliquent ce succès à la fois imposant (plus de 860 bas-reliefs) et limité dans le temps (fin xiiie-milieu du xive siècle) ? Ouvrant des perspectives nouvelles dans le domaine de l’analyse iconographique, l’auteur conduit une véritable étude historique : la politique de prestige des grands prélats, la « mise en récit » des images sculptées au seuil des cathédrales, la culture des métamorphoses et l’incroyable inventivité des sculpteurs du Moyen Âge, le culte des saints au cœur des rivalités entre les sanctuaires...

Abstract

Lightness and transparency in contemporary Japanese architecture explored and explained by Kengo Kuma Laboratory. In Japanese art and textile printing, the use of patterns has a long tradition. In Japanese architecture, layering is an established technique that has already inspired the likes of Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies van der Rohe. Now, the laboratory of world famous architect Kengo Kuma has developed a technically sophisticated methodology that unites patterns and layering in a single structural concept for the first time. Patterns and Layering presents innovative structures that are created by stacking fragile, patterned layers. Although each individual layer contains a variety of patterns, it nevertheless still completely fulfills its structural responsibilities. The results are strikingly delicate, yet remarkably stable. The book s detailed texts explain how layering and patterns function as spatial tools with which one can create extraordinary structures that are able to coexist in harmony with nature, people, and culture. Patterns and Layering not only explores historical contexts and developments, but also shows cutting-edge experiments that were realized under the supervision of Kengo Kuma and his colleague Yusuke Obuchi. According to Kuma, this book has the potential to begin a new architectural and design revolution. Editors Salvator-John A. Liotta and Matteo Belfiore, as well as other contributors, work closely with Kengo Kuma at his research laboratory at the University of Tokyo. Including design details such as silkscreen prints and calligraphy, Patterns and Layering embodies the Japanese understanding of space, nature, and architecture page for page, layer for layer.
