Pages : 304
Book Description
The architectural historian James Ackerman discusses villas from ancient Rome to 20th-century France and America. Unlike farmhouses, castles or manors, villas usually belong to city dwellers. The villa provides a focus for examining not only the relationship between urban and rural life, but also that between building and the environment, and between the effects of social, economic and political change on architectural design. The author illuminates villas of all kinds in a study of one of the most attractive types of dwelling ever conceived.

The Country House Library
Author: Mark PurcellPublisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300248687
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
Beginning with new evidence that cites the presence of books in Roman villas and concluding with present day vicissitudes of collecting, this generously illustrated book presents a complete survey of British and Irish country house libraries. Replete with engaging anecdotes about owners and librarians, the book features fascinating information on acquisition bordering on obsession, the process of designing library architecture, and the care (and neglect) of collections. The author also disputes the notion that these libraries were merely for show, arguing that many of them were profoundly scholarly, assembled with meticulous care, and frequently used for intellectual pursuits. For those who love books and the libraries in which they are collected and stored, The Country House Library is an essential volume to own.
The Roman Villa in the Mediterranean Basin
Author: Annalisa MarzanoPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1316730611
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 650
Book Description
This volume offers a comprehensive survey of Roman villas in Italy and the Mediterranean provinces of the Roman Empire, from their origins to the collapse of the Empire. The architecture of villas could be humble or grand, and sometimes luxurious. Villas were most often farms where wine, olive oil, cereals, and manufactured goods, among other products, were produced. They were also venues for hospitality, conversation, and thinking on pagan, and ultimately Christian, themes. Villas spread as the Empire grew. Like towns and cities, they became the means of power and assimilation, just as infrastructure, such as aqueducts and bridges, was transforming the Mediterranean into a Roman sea. The distinctive Roman/Italian villa type was transferred to the provinces, resulting in Mediterranean-wide culture of rural dwelling and work that further unified the Empire.
