Structure in Architecture: History, Design and Innovation de Rowland J. Mainstone

Structure in Architecture: History, Design and Innovation: Variorum Collected Studies

Autor Rowland J. Mainstone
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 noi 1999

Notăm cu interes modul în care această colecție de studii semnată de Rowland J. Mainstone reușește să deconstruiască mitul conform căruia realizările arhitecturale pre-moderne au fost rodul hazardului. Găsim în această carte o analiză riguroasă a problemelor structurale întâmpinate la reconstrucția timpanului de la Hagia Sophia sau la ridicarea domului Catedralei Santa Maria del Fiore, oferind soluții tehnice acolo unde istoria artei vede doar estetică. Autorul pune sub lupă tranziția de la intuiția pură și tradiția orală la metodele analitice, investigând cum au fost posibile inovații de o asemenea anvergură fără beneficiul simulărilor computerizate actuale. Structura volumului urmărește o progresie logică, de la bazele invenției structurale și rolul tradiției în formarea domurilor, până la analize specifice pe monumente precum Panteonul din Roma sau acoperișul Westminster Hall. Un punct central al lucrării îl reprezintă perioada de dinainte de 1742, momentul de cotitură pentru teoria structurală, oferind perspective esențiale asupra modului în care maeștrii constructori interpretau forțele fizice. Cititorii familiarizați cu Developments in Structural Form vor aprecia acest volum pentru profunzimea detaliilor tehnice aplicate pe cazuri istorice punctuale. Dacă lucrarea menționată anterior oferea o privire de ansamblu asupra evoluției formelor, Structure in Architecture funcționează ca un instrument de cercetare aprofundată, fiind indispensabil pentru înțelegerea conservării structurale a monumentelor istorice.

De ce să citești această carte

Este o resursă fundamentală pentru arhitecții și inginerii interesați de restaurare și istoria construcțiilor. Cititorul câștigă o înțelegere profundă a mecanismelor care mențin în picioare cele mai mari realizări ale antichității și renașterii. Recomandăm acest volum pentru rigoarea cu care Rowland J. Mainstone explică succesul tehnic al structurilor istorice prin prisma ingineriei moderne, fără a ignora contextul epocii în care au fost concepute.

Descriere scurtă

All buildings must stand. An adequate structure was as necessary for the simplest primitive hut as it is for the tallest or widest-spanning modern building. However, this requirement became more difficult to satisfy as designers became more adventurous and the experience already gained became less directly applicable. The present papers look at the consequent evolution of design methods and the types of understanding that have been essential guides. A particular focus is the question of how earlier innovations, made without the benefits of modern theory, were possible. Other papers look in detail at the most outstanding of these achievements, such as the church of Hagia Sophia in Istanbul and the dome of Florence Cathedral.

Recenzii

'During 40 years Rowland Mainstone has been a prolific and original writer on developments in the history of architectural structures. This collection of 22 of his papers demonstrates their quality and authority...These papers should help destroy the popular myth that we do not know how cathedrals and great works of antiquity were designed or built...They should be essential reading for everyone engaged in restoring and conserving buildings, and will be equally rewarding for the sheer pleasure of better understanding the enormity of our debt to the technical achievements of past centuries.' Architectural Review '...very readable and has much to interest the practising engineer or anyone with a visual sense and an enquiring mind.' Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings News 'With the depth of research reported, the great wealth of its references, and its illumination of such diverse themes and topics, the book must easily claim space in architectural libraries and provide stimuli for further studies. Significant assistance to the wide variety of studies which can be envisaged is given by the inclusion of three separate indexes, for 'subjects', 'bridges, buildings and places', and 'persons'.' Society of Architectural Historians of Great Britain Newsletter
