Présentation de l'éditeur
Among the most influential figures of the Gothic Revival in nineteenth-century Britain, Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (1812–52) distinguished himself as an architect, author and interior designer. His illustrated lectures on ecclesiastical design were first published in 1841 and are reissued here with An Apology for the Revival of Christian Architecture in England (1843). Reflecting the influence of the author's conversion to Catholicism, the works discuss a range of architectural features, their functions and where they should be implemented. Pugin also outlines, with some amusement, the dangers of executing designs that do not follow his principles. The highly detailed illustrations are drawn with an architect's precision, showing both realised and unrealised designs. Contrasts (revised second edition, 1841), Pugin's most famous work, is also reissued in this series. Together, these publications remain essential reading for those seeking to understand the growth of the Gothic Revival.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating exploration of the principles of Pointed, or Christian, architecture. Taking readers on a journey through the history of design, the author examines the construction and decoration of buildings, furniture, and metalwork from the Middle Ages. The author, a passionate advocate for the revival of this architectural style, challenges the prevailing notion that Greek architecture should be considered the epitome of architectural excellence. He argues that the Greeks, influenced by the limitations of their preferred wooden construction, failed to fully harness the potential of stone. In contrast, he celebrates the ingenuity of medieval builders, who, using modest materials and a deep understanding of structural principles, created soaring vaulted ceilings and delicate tracery. The author delves into the specific techniques and artistic choices employed in crafting buildings, furniture, and objects. Through detailed descriptions of construction methods, he reveals the underlying rationale behind each decorative element, demonstrating how form and function are inextricably intertwined in this style. This book's rich insights offer readers a new perspective on the history of architecture, revealing the artistry and craftsmanship that informed the construction of some of the most beautiful and enduring buildings in the world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330306444_0
