Em reediço de best-seller, Raul Juste Lores expe as transformaçes arquitetonicas que tomaram a cidade de So Paulo entre os anos 1950 e 1960. Com ilustraçes de Danilo Zamboni. Entre 1950 e 1960, uma combinaço particular permitiu que a cidade de So Paulo fosse palco de uma revoluço ate ento inedita em sua historia a unio de arquitetos criativos, empreendedores ambiciosos e a disponibilidade de capital financeiro possibilitou as condiçes necessarias para que obras iconicas saissem das pranchetas e ganhassem as ruas da Pauliceia, modificando seu cenario arquitetonico. Sobrevoo sobre projetos como Copan, Conjunto Nacional, Galeria do Rock, edificio Italia, Bretagne, Paquita, entre tantos outros, So Paulo nas alturas apresenta a trajetoria de arquitetos e empreendedores que deixaram sua marca na capital paulista, alem de lançar luz sobre os erros e acertos nas escolhas urbanas que desenharam a cidade."Este livro mostra a cidade que começamos a construir, mas que se perdeu em meio a tecnocracia que privilegiou os carros e afastou os moradores da vida cotidiana, com seus muros, recuos dos predios e regras de Planos Diretores, promovendo a segregaço. Raul Juste Lores escreveu uma obra-prima sobre o nosso urbanismo e, tambem, sobre a nossa sociedade." Marcos Lisboa

In The Stones of Venice, John Ruskin explores the intricate relationship between architecture, society, and morality, presenting a comprehensive critique of Venetian Gothic architecture. Through rich descriptions and detailed illustrations, Ruskin examines the aesthetic principles underlying the citys edifices and their cultural significance. The book stands as a manifesto for the importance of craftsmanship and beauty in architecture, juxtaposing the splendor of Venice with the emerging industrial practices of his time. Written in a highly ornate and poetic style, RuskinAos work transcends mere architectural criticism, delving into philosophical reflections on art and its moral implications, thus rooting the narrative firmly within the Victorian context of art appreciation and social critique. John Ruskin (1819-1900), a prominent art critic, social thinker, and leading figure of the Victorian era, was deeply influenced by his experiences in Venice and his passion for art. His travels in Italy profoundly impacted his understanding of aesthetic beauty and its alignment with ethical living. Ruskins advocacy for the Arts and Crafts movement, along with his fierce resistance to industrialization and mass production, is contextualized through this work, which serves not only as a celebration of Venices architectural grandeur but also as a cautionary tale against the loss of artistry in the modern world. Readers seeking a deeper understanding of the intersection between art, architecture, and morality will find The Stones of Venice an indispensable text. It invites reflection on the broader human experience and underscores the significance of preserving beauty in our environments. In a world increasingly dominated by utilitarianism, RuskinAos stirring prose and passionate arguments make this work not just relevant but essential for anyone interested in arts power to shape society.

In "The Stones of Venice," John Ruskin offers a profound exploration of architecture, art, and the moral underpinnings of society. This multi-volume work deftly combines vivid descriptions, detailed analyses, and historical insights, delving deep into the construction and aesthetics of Venetian architecture as a reflection of cultural values. Ruskin employs an evocative literary style rich in metaphor and symbolism, illuminating how the intricate details of buildings inspire both moral contemplation and societal critique. Its context emerges from the Victorian eras fascination with art and history, against the backdrop of burgeoning industrialization that threatened traditional craftsmanship. John Ruskin, a pivotal figure in the Victorian art movement, was an ardent advocate for craftsmanship and the beauty of nature, deeply influenced by his environmental convictions and a reverence for medieval artistry. His extensive travels in Europe, particularly his admiration for Venice, fueled his belief that architecture is a moral and philosophical reflection of its time. Ruskins commitment to social reform and his concern for the decline of artisan craftsmanship are evident throughout this work, as he seeks to reconnect art with ethical living. Readers seeking a rich, interdisciplinary examination of architecture and its role in society will find "The Stones of Venice" an indispensable tome. RuskinAos eloquence and passionate advocacy for aesthetic and moral values resonate with contemporary issues in art and culture, making this seminal work a critical read for anyone interested in the intersections of art history, philosophy, and social criticism.

The architecture in Burma represents a mixture of the countrys history, politics, natural assets, religion, and superstition. Despite some recent advances toward modernization, in architectural terms, centuries of relative seclusion have caused this country to remain something of a historical timeline. Burmas resplendent temples, stately colonial edifices, and myriad of structures that comprise innumerable fishing and country villages provide an architectural window into the countrys diverse and oftentimes tumultuous history. The turbulence of the region, punctuated by dynastic squabbles, is perhaps best chronicled and understood by way of its architecture. The escalation of successional quarrels frequently resulted in new rulers packing up entire palaces and other structures and hauling these by elephant to establish a new seat of government or capital elsewhere. The vestiges of the old cities were for the most part simply left to the vicissitudes of nature.

Architectural patronage was crucial for the thinking of Aby Warburg and his circle. In Hamburg the purpose-designed Kulturwissenschaftliche Bibliothek Warburg, completed in 1926, organized Warburgs remarkable library. From 1927 Warburg developed ideas about orientation in the radical transformation of a disused water tower into the Hamburg Planetarium. After the Warburg Institute transferred to London in 1933 this pattern of seminal architectural commissioning continued, including projects designed by the avant-garde practice Tecton during the 1930s, and culminating in the construction of the librarys present home at Woburn Square, Bloomsbury in 1958. Warburg Models: Buildings as Bilderfahrzeuge follows this history, using archive photographs, architectural drawings and a series of architectural models to show how the Warburg scholars projected a connection between their own physical occupancy of architectural space and their shared ideas about intellectual order, cultural survival, and memory.MARI LENDING and TIM ANSTEY are both professors of architectural history at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design. Their continuing archive-based seminar on the relationship between the Warburg Institute and architecture has developed into an exhibition and a book, not least because of the skilled participation of their model-building students.

Birth Houses (Mammisis) are important components of late Egyptian temple complexes but have not been investigated in detail since the fundamental study of Francois Daumas published in 1958. In the meantime, new archaeological findings as well as re-evaluations of theology and piety in Greco-Roman Egypt have considerably expanded our traditional understanding of these extraordinary buildings. Therefore, reassessment of phenomena and expanded research approaches need to be undertaken. This book presents the printed versions of the lectures given by international Egyptologists at the IFAO in Cairo on March 27-28, 2019, as part of the 1st Colloquium on "Mammisis of Egypt". In the publication, criteria and reconsiderations are put up for discussion that can be decisive for the identification and definition of Mammisis. The spectrum of topics ranges from theological basics (including the significant birth cycle) and typical features, through historical development and cultic events, to the architecture of these temple buildings. Special motifs, theoretical and iconographic concepts and finally the persistence of certain rites in modern Egypt are also covered. One chapter introduces current scientific projects and their methods that are dedicated to selected mammisis or chapels (Coptos, Deir el-Medina, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Philae, Bahariya, Kellis, Jebel Barkal). Numerous illustrations complement the contributions. They contain new material from excavations that is being published for the first time.
