Book Description
Excerpt from The Ruins of Pæstum, Otherwise Posidonia in Magna Græcia And here, he cannot but obferve with Pleafure, the great Improvements (the Effed' of generous Encouragement) that his Countrymen have made in the feveral Branches of Art. Their Produétions, particularly in Painting and Engraving, fo generally approved at the annual public Exhibitions, fufiiciently refute invidious Refleétions fometimes thrown on them, that their chief Efforts center in Schemes of railing a Fortune: and alfo the unfavourable Opinion, entertained by fome Foreigners of the Abilities of the Engltjb Artills. If we confider the Difadvantage they labour under, of not having hitherto had any Public Academy; and of being, for the molt Part, obliged to complete their Studies abroad; it is rather to be wondered that they have made fo great a Progrefs; and is a convincing Proof of the natural Strength of Eng/fjb Genius, not lefs capable of diflinguilhing itfclf in the liberal Arts, than in the molt ablirufe Sciences.

How to Read Architecture
Author: Paulette SingleyPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429557450
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 509
Book Description
How to Read Architecture is based on the fundamental premise that reading and interpreting architecture is something we already do, and that close observation matters. This book enhances this skill so that given an unfamiliar building, you will have the tools to understand it and to be inspired by it. Author Paulette Singley encourages you to misread, closely read, conventionally read, and unconventionally read architecture to stimulate your creative process. This book explores three essential ways to help you understand architecture: reading a building from the outside-in, from the inside-out, and from the position of out-and-out, or formal, architecture. This book erodes boundaries between the frequently compartmentalized fields of interior design, landscape design, and building design with chapters exploring concepts of terroir, scenography, criticality, atmosphere, tectonics, inhabitation, type, form, and enclosure. Using examples and case studies that span a wide range of historical and global precedents, Singley addresses the complex interaction among the ways a building engages its context, addresses its performative exigencies, and operates as an autonomous aesthetic object. Including over 300 images, this book is an essential read for both undergraduate and postgraduate students of architecture with a global focus on the interpretation of buildings in their context.
