Abstract

"Vitruvius's De architectura is the only major work on architecture to survive from classical antiquity, and until the eighteenth century it was the text to which all other architectural treatises referred. While European classicists have focused on the factual accuracy of the text itself, English-speaking architects and architectural theorists have viewed it as a timeless source of valuable metaphors. Departing from both perspectives, Indra Kagis McEwen examines the work's meaning and significance in its own time. Vitruvius dedicated De architectura to his patron Augustus Caesar, the first Roman emperor, whose rise to power inspired its composition near the end of the first century B.C. McEwen argues that the imperial project of world dominion shaped Vitruvius's purpose in writing what he called "the whole body of architecture." Devoting each chapter to a different Vitruvian "body," McEwen addresses such topics as the relation of the book and its author to Augustus, the role of beauty in forging the new world order, and the nature and unprecedented extent of Augustan building programs."--Jacket.

Abstract

Vitruvius' De architectura, the only extant work from Antiquity dedicated to Architecture, has had a rich and diverse reception history. The present volume aims to highlight the different aspects of this history, showing how Vitruvius' work was systematically and continuously misunderstood to justify innovation. Its comprehensive and in-depth analyses make this book a reference work in the field of Vitruvian scholarship. Vitruvs De architectura ist das einzig erhaltene Werk der Antike über Architektur, bis heute wird es intensiv rezipiert. Im vorliegenden Band werden verschiedene Aspekte von Vitruvs weitreichender Wirkungsgeschichte beleuchtet. Dabei zeigt sich u.a., dass Vitruv kontinuierlich missverstanden wurde um das Neue zu rechtfertigen. Durch die umfassende Behandlung der verschiedenen Themenkomplexe wird der Band zu einem Referenzwerk der Vitruvforschung.

Abstract

Publié à l’occasion d’une grande exposition au Palazzo Grassi de Venise, ce volume d’essais présente des chefs-d’œuvre civils et religieux des parangons de la Renaissance italienne, Brunelleschi, Alberti, Michel-Ange et Bramante. Les contributeurs examinent l’architecture, la modélisation architecturale et l’urbanisme dans l’Italie de la fin du Moyen Âge et de la Renaissance, remontant aussi loin que la Rome antique pour découvrir les racines de cette grande tradition. Les œuvres sont analysées du point de vue des théories humanistes de la Renaissance et des évaluations critiques modernes. Les essais couvrent l’architecture Français et de la Renaissance allemande, ainsi que les scénographies, et examinent la relation de l’architecture avec d’autres arts. De nombreux dessins, projets et manuscrits, dont certains n’ont pas encore été publiés, sont reproduits et décrits.
