Abstract

Teodoro Gonzalez de Leon is one of Mexico's great architects, and his distinctive buildings grace many cities throughout the world. His designs have a stark simplicity, with natural surfaces. His favorite material is concrete, and its weight contrasts with the brightness of his interior spaces. A disciple of Le Corbusier, like his teacher, he believes that "Interiors exist only when they are flooded with light". Born in 1926, his paintings and architectural pieces have had numerous exhibits, and he has won many prestigious awards. Published in 1998, this large soft cover book has a preface by Gonzalez de Leon, a long introduction by Mario A. Arnaboldi, and a detailed explanation that accompanies the many color photos, floor plans, and cross sections of the works. There are 16 buildings shown, with photos from many angles. Four of these have not been constructed, and are shown in model form. Two of my favorites are in Mexico City; the Fondo de Cultura Economica, with a bridge that spans and floats between the structures and extends beyond them, and the vast Arcos Bosques Corporativo, which is featured on the cover, and has the eerie suspension in the upper floors.

Abstract

Theodore (759–826), abbot of the influential Constantinopolitan monastery of Stoudios, is celebrated as a saint by the Orthodox Church for his stalwart defense of icon veneration. Three important texts promoting the monastery and the memory of its founder are collected in The Life and Death of Theodore of Stoudios.In the Life of Theodore, Michael the Monk describes a golden age at Stoudios, as well as Theodore’s often antagonistic encounters with imperial rulers. The Encyclical Letter of Naukratios, written in 826 by his successor, informed the scattered monks of their leader’s death. Translation and Burial contains brief biographies of Theodore and his brother, along with an eyewitness account of their reburial at Stoudios.These works, translated into English for the first time, appear here alongside new editions of the Byzantine Greek texts.
