Full textAbstract:
2009/2010Nel 2007 ricorreva il cinquantenario della morte dell’architetto sloveno Jože Plečnik (1872 - 1957), figura discussa e controversa all’interno di un panorama architettonico e culturale in rapido e radicale mutamento. Si tratta di un artista attorno alla cui presa di posizione nei confronti dell’architettura si è spesso discusso, e proprio in questi anni si è tornato a discuterne in occasione della ricorrenza dell’anniversario della sua morte. Soprattutto in Slovenia, dove il 2007 è stato eletto ad “anno di Plečnik”, sono stati organizzati dibattiti e convegni e sono state edite alcune nuove pubblicazioni sull’architetto e la sua opera. L’opinione pubblica ha accettato Plečnik come il maggiore architetto sloveno di tutti i tempi, ma tuttavia “la teoretica e la storia dell’architettura non riescono ancora a inquadrarne in maniera coerente l’operato”1. Geniale interprete di forme antiche, rappresenta comunque con i suoi lavori, sviluppati soprattutto attorno alle città di Vienna, Praga e Lubiana, un personaggio di assoluto rilievo nel panorama architettonico e culturale sloveno ed europeo. Le sue ferme convinzioni in merito al ruolo dell’architetto e della sua arte, hanno portato a interpretazioni differenti riguardo la sua opera e spaziano dalla sfera mistica a quella di origine formalista, da quella storicista a quella classicista, da quella espressionismta2 a quella del modernismo. Non è obiettivo della presente tesi risolvere tale questione, piuttosto si è interessati alla lettura dell’opera dell’architetto sloveno in relazione a una parte del suo lavoro meno nota e meno indagata. Molto del materiale bibliografico inerente la sua opera riguarda infatti analisi e studi sul tema delle sue grandi architetture monumentali e del loro ruolo rivestito all’interno di un’ottica di trasformazione urbana ad esse legata o delle varie innovative varianti sul tema dell’architettura sacra. La bibliografia attorno all’opera di Plečnik è sufficientemente ricca per quanto riguarda questi argomenti, benché la maggior parte degli scritti sia edita in lingua slovena o ceca. Il materiale tradotto in altre lingue non è molto. inoltre va specificato che non esiste ancora un “opera omnia” sull’opera di Plečnik che contenga non solo la ingente quantità di architetture realizzate, ma anche le moltissime idee progettuali per soluzioni a temi mai realizzati. Nel corso della sua vita infatti, l’architetto sloveno progetta instancabilmente, riesce a seguire la realizzazione dei lavori e continuamente riflette su nuove soluzioni possibili e su nuove interpretazioni delle forme classiche, disegnando spesso ciò che gli viene in mente. Particolarmente ricca è infatti la collezione dei suoi disegni presso l’archivio del Museo di architettura e design di Lubiana. La mancanza di una pubblicazione che ne raccolga il prezioso materiale, è indice di quanto l’opera dell’architetto sloveno sia in parte relegata a un ambito marginale rispetto al panorama europeo, limitandosi a rivestire un ruolo quasi meramente locale. Ciò pare andare in contrasto con quanto invece è quello che Plečnik persegue attraverso l’architettura, ovvero qualcosa che è molto di più e va ben oltre la ricerca di un’architettura che sia meramente “locale” o “regionale”. Egli, di fatto, persegue l’idea di un’architettura o meglio di un metodo progettuale “universale”, ma non intessa come ricerca di uno stile o di un determinato materiale, bensì conseguita attraverso la volontà di creare una particolare “atmosfera”, un particolare “effetto” che ogni luogo è in grado di assumere attraverso l’architettura. Per conseguire tale fine egli è convinto della necessità del dover partire da elementi originari dell’architettura che non siano stati ancora “contaminati” o naturalizzati, perché solo attraverso essi sarà possibile reinventarli in una nuova condizione estetica che riesca a dar forma a una particolare atmosfera. Egli trova tali elementi primari nell’architettura classica e antica ed è proprio da qui che hanno origine le sue riflessioni attorno alle possibili reinterpretazioni delle forme e degli elementi antichi. Tali riflessioni vengono trasposte su carta in forma di schizzi e disegni. Plečnik infatti non scrive alcun trattato teorico e ritiene che le questioni teoriche debbano essere chiarite e presentate attraverso il progetto e la realizzazione, attraverso l’architettura. Le uniche frasi scritte di su pugno sono presenti all’interno della sua corrispondenza con amici, parenti e collaboratori. Il fatto, però, che non esista ancora un’opera completa riguardo l’ingente quantità di progetti, realizzati e non, dall’architetto sloveno, né tantomeno una completa edizione di tutta la sua corrispondenza, rappresenta in modo evidente il fatto che vi sia ancora molto da studiare attorno alla figura di Plečnik Obiettivo del presente lavoro vuole essere infatti quello di andare ad aggiungere un contributo all’analisi e alla presentazione di alcuni progetti dell’opera di Plečnik mai particolarmente approfondita. Si tratta infatti di una raccolta delle piccole architetture realizzate e progettate dal maestro sloveno che sono parte integrante del suo operato. Plečnik è infatti particolarmente legato al tema del “piccolo”, del “minuto” e se ne occupa infatti costantemente nel corso della sua vita. In ogni progetto egli cura anche il minimo dettaglio, compresi gli elementi d’arredo, per una progettazione che spazia “dal cucchiaio alla città”. Parallelamente alla progettazione dei grandi edifici pubblici o privati, egli progetta infatti anche un’ingente quantità di architetture “in scala ridotta”. Nella maggior parte dei casi si tratta di opere dall’importante significato simbolico e monumentale come ad esempio i monumenti ai caduti o opere di architettura sepolcrale, in altri casi invece, si tratta di piccole architetture urbane, al cui importanza all’interno dello spazio urbano stesso si rivela strategica. Vista la grande quantità di opere realizzate dal maestro sloveno, il campo di ricerca si limita a una parte delle piccole opere progettate. Trascurando gli elementi propri dell’architettura interna, i quali di per sé rappresentano un capitolo a sé grazie al vastissimo repertorio di oggetti prodotti da Plečnik e che indubbiamente necessiterebbero di un approfondimento specifico, la ricerca prende in considerazione tutti quegli elementi che fanno parte della sfera architettonica “non abitabile”, a partire dagli elementi primari dell’architettura, quali la colonna o il pilastro, per arrivare a quelle architetture che rappresentano il limite ultimo del tema di ricerca, ovverosia le architetture composte da una solo vano, ma senza offrire una vera e propria condizione “abitabile”, quali piccole edicole o cappelle. A corollario della presentazione della piccole architetture realizzate, vengono presentati anche alcuni disegni originali tratti dall’archivio del Museo di architettura e design di Lubiana, nonché due interviste con due dei massimi studiosi dell'opera di Plečnik.

Full textAbstract:
De nos jours, parler de monumentalité soulève des questions pour le moins problématiques. Selon des interprétations négatives, cette notion est fruit d’une pensée rétrograde, fondée sur l’historicisme et sur une lecture de l’architecture comme une question de style. A contrario, la monumentalité représente, à l’origine, la qualité immatérielle qui permet au monument d’émerger de son contexte et d’être reconnu comme élément structurant de l’espace urbain. Cette qualité joue un rôle capital au sein de la métropole puisqu’elle s’oppose à une logique de l’architecture basée sur l’économie et qu’elle éveille la conscience collective à la fonction mémorielle du monument et à sa symbolique d’avertissement pour la société. La consultation internationale du Grand Paris (CIGP) a été une vitrine internationale considérable qui a donné aux équipes pluridisciplinaires participantes la possibilité de définir les paramètres fondateurs pour le développement de la métropole du XXIème siècle de l’après-Kyoto. À la demande des décideurs politiques, les équipes de la CIGP ont engagé un questionnement sur la manière de matérialiser les symboles fédérateurs de la société contemporaine. S’agirait-il d’un renouveau de la monumentalité ? Comment faire coexister ce questionnement face aux principes du développement durable ? Serions-nous confrontés à une nouvelle forme de monumentalité émergente ? Cette recherche a l’ambition de présenter la récursivité de l’histoire transformant la notion de monumentalité et d’apporter quelques éléments de réponse concernant la possible émergence d’une nouvelle monumentalité métropolitaineTalking about monumentality in contemporary times has become at least a problematic issue. This notion most often refers to negative interpretations identifying it as the fruit of retrograde thinking, based on historicism and in reading architecture as a question of style. On the contrary, monumentality originally represents the immaterial quality that allows the monument to stand up from its context and to be recognized as a structuring element of the urban. Faced with the metropolis, this quality plays a capital role by opposing the logic of architecture based on economics and by awakening the collective conscience to the monument’s memorial function and its symbolic warning for society. The Greater Paris International Consultation (CIGP) was a considerable international showcase that gave to its multidisciplinary teams the opportunity to define the founding parameters for the development of post-Kyoto metropolis for the 21st century. As asked by politicians, the CIGP teams started to question how to materialise the unifying symbols of contemporary society. Would it be a renewal of monumentality? How can this questioning coexist facing the principles of sustainability? Would we be faced to a new form of emergent monumentality? The aim of this research is to present the historical appeals that have transformed the notion of monumentality and to provide some answers regarding the possible emergence of a new metropolitan monumentality

Ozten, Ulku. "New Monumentality." Master's thesis, METU, 2005. http://etd.lib.metu.edu.tr/upload/2/12606932/index.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
&ldquoNew monumentality&rdquo
is a term which was first introduced to architectural discourse by Sigfried Giedion, Jose Luis Sert, and Fernand Lé
ger right after the post-World War II in the early forties. The effect of the term comes from the polemical power of reformulation of the accustomed category &ldquo
monument&rdquo
within the field of the modern architecture. In this way, as it is shaped by the three authors, for the first time &ldquo
New Monumentality&rdquo
had been identified as a modern task under the name of Nine Points on Monumentality in 1943. Therefore, this thesis is mainly grounded on this significant text that is a primary manifestation of the need for the new monumentality. On these bases, that the manifesto is stressed an effort to determine the ethics of the post war modern architecture regarding: historicism, functionalism, and representation. This thesis seeks to clarify the self-critical frame which is unfolded by the manifesto within the context of the modern architecture. Thus, the first one of the three objectives of this thesis is to clarify the concept of new monumentality
the second one is to locate its position in the history of modern architecture
and the third one is to differentiate proposed and unintended outcomes of this movement within the contemporary discourses of architecture.

Full textAbstract:
L'architecture officielle nationale-socialiste adopte dès 1934, par sa monumentalité, une allure qui la distingue en tant que telle de tout ce qui s'est fait auparavant. L'analyse des caractéristiques et des sources de cette architecture est le thème principal de cette thèse. P. L. Troost dessine les premiers édifices du Parti à Munich; Ernst Sagebiel est l'architecte de l'aéroport de Tempelhof et du ministère de Göring à Berlin; Hans Reissinger imagine à Bayreuth un édifice à l'enveloppe composite pour l'association des enseignants du Reich; Ludwig et F. Ruff dessinent un hall gigantesque destiné aux congrès du parti à Nuremberg. Leurs œuvres présentent des formes de monumentalité très éloignées de la seule référence à un néoclassicisme simplifié. Leurs édifices, marqués par une grande exigence de représentation, répondent néanmoins, avec beaucoup d'efficacité pour certains d'entre eux, à la fonction à laquelle ils sont destinés. L'étude de ces édifices s'attache à observer l'évolution des esquisses et des maquettes dans le sens d'une monumentalité toujours plus grande, l'effet recherché l'emportant sur toute autre considération. Une iconographie sculptée à la gloire Reich et du Parti, en ses emblèmes et ses bas-reliefs, complète cette mise en scène. La notion de tectonique germanique privilégiée par les historiens de ce régime pour exprimer l'essence de l'architecture dans sa recherche de formes originelles est soigneusement examinée. Les racines dont elle se prévaut font appel à une Allemagne mythique entièrement recréée et berceau de l'univers. L'examen des édifices retenus est donc tout d'abord une analyse architecturale, complétée par la prise en compte de l'important appareil éditorial qui en a assuré la présentation officielle pendant le Reich. En contrepoint, il a été tenu compte des nombreuses publications que cette architecture a suscitées en Allemagne depuis les années 1970As early as 1934, the official National-Socialist architecture takes a stand which sets it apart from ail things past, bringing out the very peculiar monumentality of the period. Analyzing the characteristics and the sources of this state architecture during the early years of the Third Reich, constitutes the main theme of the present thesis. P.L. Troost, who designed the first buildings of the Party in Munich, Ernst Sagebiel, author of the Tempelhof Airport and Göring's Ministry in Berlin, Hans Reissinger who designed a building with a composite envelop meant for the Reich teachers' Association in Bayreuth, and finally Ludwig and F. Ruff who designed a gigantic hall to accommodate the Party's conventions in Nuremberg, are the architects who se works are being reviewed. Their buildings present monumental forms which are quite remote from simplistic neo-classical references. These works are marked by great representational demands and yet, in some cases, they also respond to functionality in a highly efficient way. This study of the chosen buildings attempts to observe, from the moment of conception through the evolution of sketches and models, an ever-increasing monumentality: the establishment of a mode of composition favoring organizing symmetries of plans and elevations and the final embellishment of the facades with added-on elements, the reached-for effect being always more important than any other consideration. A sculptured iconography glorifying the regime and the Reich, with its signs, symbols and freezes, completes this setting. The concept of a German tectonic, so privileged by historians of the regime, expressing the essence of this official architecture in its search for original forms, is therefore examined in detail, revealing the roots it refers to: at its center is a newly-recreated mythical Germany as cradle of the universe. The analysis of the chosen buildings is thus first architectural, then completed by examining the editorial apparatus which has ensured its official presentation during the Third Reich. On the other hand, the numerous publications spurred by this architecture in Germany since the 1970's, have also been taken into account

Mont Fuji is the symbol of Japan, a sacrid object of worship, and holding a place in Japanese beliefs. Mont Fuji gave the direction in my thesis.

This project came from the idea of " Serenity and Dynamism", which came from the famous wood-print "The Great Wave off Kanagawa". This building design is a way to acheive my initial purpose to present Modern Monumentality. Those efforts I did is to fulfill the original topic of 'New Monumentality'. People need Monumentality to reveal their inner life and their beliefs. This building gives an opportunity to let people to stay closer to their worship. There are lots of elements in the project, and each of them plays a very important role in it. This urban-scale building consists of ideas, form, function, structure, materials, details and human consideration, etc. None of them can be set aside. Stimulated and guided by knowledge, I developed forms and structures to fit for materials and construction methods. This project can wake up memories in local residents' deep minds. Architecture can be a bridge to make a connection between the past and the future. It's not only the memory, but also a sense of identity.

Saindon, Brent Allen. "Toward a Post-Structural Monumentality." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2006. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc5346/.
Full textAbstract:
This study addresses a tension in contemporary studies of public memory between ideology criticism and postmodern critique. Both strategies of reading public memory rely on a representational logic derived from the assumption that the source for comparison of a memory text occurs in a more fundamental text or event. Drawing heavily from Michel Foucault, the study proposes an alternative to a representational reading strategy based on the concepts of regularity, similitude, articulation, and cultural formation. The reading of Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the Galveston County Vietnam Memorial serves as an example of a non-representational regularity enabled by the cultural formation of pastoral power.

Full textAbstract:
The earliest graves that are found in Sweden is the megaliths, the huge stone monuments created with boulders and open entrances. The megaliths origin is from the Middle Neolithic’s, but they have been reused for several millenniums. The very act of constructing these monumental stone chambers for the dead shows that these monuments were built to last through time. This master’s thesis deals with four different kind of grave types that spans through four different time periods in Southwestern Sweden. After the Middle Neolithic, monumental graves the hällkistan (stone cists), became the dominant grave type during the Late Neolithic. The cist varies in construction, some are meant to be entered but most are closed. During the Bronze Age a new kind of cists continues to be used and new are constructed although the culture tends to create big heaps, cairns, around the cist. During the late Bronze Age and early Iron Age the construction of the graves changes and the cists are instead present on grave fields. The paper compares the similarities between the graves, megalithic tombs, stone cists, cairns and grave fields, in their monumentality, construction, accessibility, content, and focuses heavily on the transmission between the grave types through the theoretical concept of Longue durée. I have also chosen to focus on the tradition of reuse, and Pierre Nora´s theoretical concepts about memory sites and memory environments. The slow slight changes to the grave traditions, constructions and rooms shows changes in ideology of the contemporary culture. My main focus is to identify and discuss the transformation of the grave room, from the Middle Neolithic monumental stone construction to the late Iron Age grave fields. Through my understanding of this process, I argue that the mentioned grave types are the same type of monument that slowly changes through a time span of roughly 4000 years. The changes are visible through very slight and slow processes.

Full textAbstract:
Monumentality shares a connection with history in its relationship with time, but it is not limited by this association. The selection of noble materials, such as granite, can date a building through the august character of the stone and its referential qualities. However, in the making of a monumental structure, the poetics of the form can transcend these limitations, resulting in architecture that stands with dignity upon the land. Thoughtful, conservative design that combines judiciously-specified materials with intrepid forms can result in worthy additions to even the most historic urban environment, if they are expressive of the mission and the manner of their making.
As a thesis study, a theater complex for the city of Montpelier provides a suitable model for testing the viability of this conservative approach. The capital of Vermont has a vibrant artistic community that has long lacked an adequate venue for the many performances and festivals it invites. Nestled in the valley bisected by the Winooski River, its mountainous confines and remoteness to other urban centers has limited new development for decades, and helped preserve the historic character of the downtown.
Introducing a grand theater to a city steeped in architectural integrity and civic pride is fraught with challenges. The established palette of building forms and materials, when combined with the force of a public predisposed to preservation, exert pressure upon the Architect that can make inspired design difficult. It is incumbent on the Architect to be aware of these influences, but be above them. Only then can the architecture achieve monumentality, and, in the case of the Montpelier Center for the Arts, return decorum to the theater-going experience.Master of Architecture

Truax, Yarger Colleen. "Louis H. Sullivan: The Aesthetic Movement, Classical Monumentality and the Skyscraper." VCU Scholars Compass, 2014. http://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/583.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation looks at some of the most famous structures by talented and cryptic American architect Louis Sullivan (1856-1924) for fusions of Aesthetic Movement surfaces and two-part Classical Monumentality. For architects, the Aesthetic Movement allowed for a greater amount of freedom when it came to sources, massing, and ornament, which resulted in the creation of more highly textured surfaces than ever before. Under raking light, this texture produces some scintillating effects. Sullivan used this textural freedom throughout his career, creating some surfaces that sparkle. It will also be demonstrated that Sullivan changed his drawing style to better articulate his textural visions to others. The second way in which this dissertation looks at Sullivan’s architecture is through the lens of Classical monumentality, specifically that used in Donato Bramante’s Palazzo Caprini (constructed ca. 1512), which is better known today as the House of Raphael. Composed of a basement surmounted by a major order, Bramante’s venerable two-part pattern spawned legions of descendants. This dissertation will demonstrate that Sullivan applied lessons from derivatives of this structure’s facade to a range of building types. Visual analysis of select building facades will demonstrate that Sullivan kept combining these two themes throughout his career.

Ett monument hyser samhällets kollektiva värderingar och ideal. I denna studie undersöks hur olika aktörer tillskriver betydelser till det kontroversiella svenska veteranmonumentet Restare i texter. För att studera hur dessa centrala aktörer, som är inblandade i resandet av monumentet rättfärdigar eller kritiserar monumentet används en legitimeringsanalys. Resultatet visar att olika legitimeringsstrategier används av de olika aktörerna, som pekar på att olika aktörer förstår veteranmonument olika. Dessutom visar resultatet att Sveriges institutioner är avståndstagande till diskurser som krig och veteraner, vilket möjligtvis är en av anledningarna till att militära veteraner kritiserar Restare. Studien ansluter även till tidigare forskning som visar att abstrakta monument har svårt att förmedla sitt tänkta budskap till en bred mottagarmassa.

Full textAbstract:
Tout au long de son règne, Hadrien a montré un intérêt certain pour la construction, comme s’il avait trouvé dans l’architecture le moyen de marquer de son empreinte la visage de cette grande cité. Les exemple de ses réalisations les plus accomplies se trouvent à Rome et à Tibur. Le Panthéon, le temple de Vénus et Rome, le mausolée et la Villa Hadriana en sont quelques-unes des meilleures illustrations. Les historiens semblent pourtant moins s’intéresser à la portée politique et idéologique des monuments qu’à leur architecture et leur décor. L’un des objectifs de cette étude est de mettre en relation chacune des constructions phares du principat d’Hadrien en essayant de comprendre comment ils sont liés à la politique et à l’idéologie de l’empereur. Cela passe par une étude de l’architecture et du décor, mais ce travail implique également la connaissance des textes biographiques relatifs au règne de l’empereur et l’étude de la numismatique, abondante et diversifiée, entre les années 117 et 138. Hadrien fut aussi un voyageur infatigable : pendant plus de douze ans, il n’a cessé de parcourir l’orbis romanus pour visiter les provinces de l’Empire. Loin de la motivation touristique, les déplacements d’Hadrien s’accompagnent d’une politique édilitaire originale, visant à embellir et relever les cités visitées par le Prince. La présente étude entend mettre en avant l’implication politique, religieuse et idéologique de ces constructions et, dans une perspective plus large, la vision du principat tel qu’il était conçu par HadrienThroughout his reign, Hadrian showed an unquestionable interest for construction, as if it had found in architecture the means of marking of his print the face of this large city. The example of its most accomplished achievements are in Rome and Tibur, and the Pantheon, the temple of Venus and Rome, the mausoleum and the Villa Hadriana are ended of it. The historians however seem less to be interested in the political and ideological range monuments that in their architecture and their decoration. One of the objectives of this study is to connect each construction headlights of the principat of Hadrian while trying to understand how they are related on the policy and the ideology of the emperor. That passes by a study of architecture and decoration, but this work also implies the knowledge of the biographical texts relating to the reign of the emperor and the study of the numismatics, abundant and diversified, between years 117 and 138. Hadrian was also an untiring traveller: during more than twelve years, it did not cease traversing the orbis romanus to visit the provinces of the Empire. Far from the tourist motivation, displacements of Hadrian are accompanied by an original municipal policy, aiming to embellish and raise the cities visited by the Prince. The present study intends to propose the implication political, religious and ideological of these constructions and, from the broader point of view, the vision of the principat such as it was conceived by Hadrian

Full textAbstract:
La volonté d’inscrire l’apologie monumentale que représente le Centre civique de Bucarest dans une histoire urbaine et sociale nous a poussé à analyser les raisons qui ont guidé sa mise en œuvre et, plus largement, à reconstruire le fil narratif de l’histoire bucarestoise à travers l’héritage bâti prestigieux de la ville. C’est ainsi que nous nous sommes intéressés aux rapports entre édification des bâtiments et espaces remarquables et (re)construction d’une identité nationale roumaine, depuis de la déclaration d’indépendance jusqu’à l’intégration européenne perçue comme reconnaissance suprême de l’État roumain. Ce travail analyse donc les techniques d’instrumentalisation de la production architecturale et urbaine dans la définition et la promotion de l’identité nationale. Il complète également le peu d’études scientifiques traitant du Centre civique, à la fois emblème et stigmate en raison des efforts exceptionnels octroyés pour sa construction. Enfin, il aborde la question de la réception d’un ensemble « idéologiquement chargé » et, plus largement, les divers emplois faits des héritages urbains par les régimes politiques qui se sont succédés à la tête de la RoumanieThis paper aims to place the monumental apology represented by the Civic Center of Bucharest in its urban and socio-political context. Therefore we have analysed the reasons and decisions that led to the way it was conceived and set up, and in addition we have tried to rebuild the narrative of the history of Bucharest through the city’s prominent built heritage. For this reason we have looked into the relations between the fact of erecting buildings and remarkable spaces and the (re)construction of a Romanian national identity, beginning with the Declaration of independence and ending with the European integration, the latter standing for the supreme legitimacy granted to the Romanian State. Therefore this research engages into the analysis of the mechanisms involved in using architectural and urban productions as instruments for defining and promoting national identity. In addition it fills a gap of almost non-existent scientific work dealing with the Civic Center, which is, due to the exceptional efforts engaged in its construction, in the same time Bucharest’s emblem and scar. Finally, it deals with the question of the reception of “ideologically charged” buildings, and more generally, with the fate of urban heritage inherited from totalitarian regimes

2016 - 2017The study of the static and dynamic behaviour of the architectural heritage of historical-artistic value made up of rigid stone blocks is a topic of particular interest in the field of modern Seismic Engineering. Such knowledge, in fact, is indispensable for the planning of correct maintenance for the conservation of this type of cultural heritage, especially in conditions of natural and human-induced risks. Among these types of artifacts, the Neptune Temple (also called Poseidònion) located inside the Archaeological Park of Paestum (southern Italy) and a case study of this research, is an emblem for the architectural, sculptural, constructional and structural aspects. It is also unique in the international panorama for its state of conservation, still complete of the whole trabeation and the two pediments. The work describes the study and the research in progress in this area, illustrating the main results obtained by in-depth theoretical studies of the static and dynamic behaviour of rigid block, from experimental investigations carried out both in the laboratory and on site. These last were conducted under the patronage of ICOMOS Italia and the Archaeological Park of Paestum. These studies and research have the objective of evaluating the static and dynamic behaviour of the main building blocks of the Temple and, also, evaluating their safety about seismic actions...

Full textAbstract:
The representation of movement and change in English Renaissance literature was a site of negotiation between conflicting views of the value and efficacy of motion. Renaissance poets made motion visible by referring to other arts, discourses, practices, and disciplines of study where motion was either highly relevant or a topic of debate. Such visibility reveals the fraught nature of motion for Renaissance minds: in the epics of Spenser and Milton, objects move that should be motionless or are described as static when they should be mobile. Such unexpected reversals are appropriate for a period when the whole status and value of motion and stillness was in question. During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, motion was seen concurrently as a force of mutability, bringing eventual ruin to all human monuments, as a force of progress, improving all things, and as a force of equilibrium, maintaining a continual cycle of decay and renewal. Motion gave Renaissance poets, including Edmund Spenser and John Milton, a subject not only to think about, but to think with, as motion provided a unifying framework for disparate ideas.The three parts of the dissertation, each consisting of two chapters, consider motion in increasingly larger dimensions of space and human experience. Part I explores the puzzling frequency with which static artwork in Spenser's Faerie Queene appears to move. Chapter One argues that motion was a chief feature of the classical rhetorical practice of "ekphrasis" (meaning "description"), and as Renaissance poets adapted ancient forms for English verse, they incorporated motion as an essential element of description. Yet they also isolated verbal descriptions of visual art (the modern definition of "ekphrasis") as a separate poetic mode. Chapter Two applies the distinctly Renaissance practice of ekphrasis outlined in the previous chapter to Spenser's poetry, and argues that the ability of ekphrasis to accommodate the tension between flux and fixity present in stories of metamorphosis offers a possible explanation for the centrality of Ovidian episodes as subjects for Spenser's ekphrases. Part II considers the relationship between plotting space and plotting narratives during the Renaissance. Chapter Three argues that, on sixteenth- and seventeenth-century maps, dynamic, narrative features and a lack of roads contributed to an experience of motion, but did little to facilitate actual travel. Chapter Four explores how the narrative features and lack of roads may explain certain discontinuities present in Spenser's description of travel. Part III argues that Milton's image of "grateful vicissitude" (PL 6.8) responds to the contemporary debate over universal decay (Chapter Five), and indicates a larger poetics of motion which Milton developed throughout his career (Chapter Six).La représentation du mouvement et du changement dans les œuvres littéraires anglaises de la Renaissance constitue une négociation entre les opinions divergentes sur la valeur et l'efficacité du mouvement. Les poètes de la Renaissance illustrent le mouvement par l'entremise d'autres arts, discours, pratiques et disciplines, où il était soit hautement pertinent soit matière à débat. Sa visibilité révèle la nature riche de sens du mouvement aux yeux des littéraires de la Renaissance: dans les épopées de Spenser et Milton, des objets censés être immobiles se meuvent, ou sont qualifiés de statiques alors qu'ils sont mobiles. De telles inversions sont tout à fait pertinentes à une période qui remet en question l'état et la valeur du mouvement et de l'immobilité. Le mouvement aux seizième et dix-septième siècles est perçu simultanément comme une force de mutabilité qui, tôt au tard, entraînera la ruine de toutes les réalisations humaines, comme force du progrès qui perfectionne tout ce qu'il touche, et comme force d'équilibre qui maintient un cycle perpétuel de dégradation et de renouveau. Le mouvement fournit aux poètes de la Renaissance, dont Edmund Spenser et John Milton, matière à réflexion aussi bien que matière à action, car le mouvement leur offre un cadre unificateur leur permettant de concilier des idées divergentes. Les trois parties de la thèse, se composant chacune de deux chapitres, étudient le mouvement dans le contexte de plus en plus large de l'espace et de l'expérience humaine. La première partie se penche sur la fréquence curieuse selon laquelle les œuvres d'art statiques dans Faerie Queene de Spenser paraissent se mouvoir. Le premier chapitre soutient que le mouvement est une caractéristique essentielle de la pratique rhétorique classique nommée « ekphrasis » (au sens de « description animée ») et qu'à mesure que les poètes de la Renaissance adaptent d'anciennes formes littéraires aux vers anglais, ils incorporent le mouvement à leurs ouvrages, à titre d'élément essentiel de la description. Ils utilisent aussi, toutefois, des descriptions verbales des œuvres d'art visuelles (la définition moderne du terme « ekphrasis ») comme mode poétique distinct. Le deuxième chapitre applique la pratique singulière d'ekphrasis de la Renaissance, énoncée dans le chapitre précédent, à la poésie de Spenser et soutient que la capacité de l'ekphrasis à concilier la tension entre le flux et la fixité retrouvés dans les récits de métamorphose offre une explication possible du rôle central joué par les épisodes ovidiens qui inspirent les ekphraseis de Spenser. La deuxième partie se penche sur la relation entre le développement de l'espace et des intrigues pendant la Renaissance. Le troisième chapitre fait valoir que les éléments dynamiques et narratifs des cartes géographiques des seizième et dix-septième siècles, ainsi que l'absence de tracés de routes, concourent à une expérience du mouvement, mais comportent très peu d'éléments facilitant les voyages réels. Le quatrième chapitre propose que les caractéristiques narratives et le manque de tracés de routes expliquent éventuellement certaines discontinuités retrouvées dans les descriptions de voyages de Spenser. La troisième partie soutient que l'image de Milton de « vicissitude agréable » (PL 6.8) fait écho au débat contemporain sur la dégradation universelle (cinquième chapitre) et laisse entrevoir la poésie plus vaste du mouvement que Milton a perfectionné tout au long de sa carrière (sixième chapitre).

Chacoan great houses have been described as providing "ritual" or "integrative" venues and as "monumental" in scale and in the amount of labor required for their construction. This study takes the approach that part of the function of community, monumental, or ritual structures is to transmit meaning and that an examination of visibility connections between these structures and small habitation sites in the surrounding community may provide information about the role of these messages in daily practice. Survey data from the Chacoan community at Kin Bineola, New Mexico is analyzed in a GIS environment using a model of visibility and distance developed for this project. The results show that, contrary to expectations, the great house is much less visible than a less monumental "Chacoan structure." Shrines, small structures interpreted as having a ritual function, are by far the most visible, suggesting a more complex relationship between monumentality and visibility.

Povojnová architektúra na Slovensku tvorí veľkú časť stavebného fondu a predstavuje obdobie, kedy sa architektúra u nás vyšvihla na svetovú úroveň, obzvlášť v období uvoľnenia. Centrálne plánovanie a ekonomická prosperita štátu dávala príležitosti realizovať veľké stavebné úlohy. Mestské regulatívy sa otvorili a bolo možné stavať vysoko podlažné, veľkoplošné i technologicky náročnejšie komplexy budov. Podporil sa tak povojnový rozvoj priemyslu aj politický marketing expresívnych monumentov. Architektúra obchodných domov Ivana Matušíka na čele s obchodným domom Prior a hotelom Kyjev na kamennom námestí sa k takejto architektúre radí tiež. V očiach laickej, no často i odbornej verejnosti je poznačená rúškom odporu a nevôle k pochopeniu kvôli dobovému kontextu, v ktorom vznikala. Neschopnosť oceniť ju sa v 90. rokoch podpísal na niektorých stavbách ich veľmi necitlivou rekonštrukciou a nenávratnou stratou ( najviac viditeľné je to na stavbe obchodného domu Slimák v Bratislave). Už k tak pokrivenému obrazu, budovám škodí aj starnutie, neadekvátna údržba, zlá interpretácia využitia ich priestorového konceptu a iné stavebné nánosy, ktoré sa usadzujú v jej blízkosti a vo verejnom priestore. Cieľom práce je prehodnotiť postavenie a funkčnú náplň týchto budov a ich verejného priestoru v centre hlavného mesta, oceniť ich výtvarný aj architektonický prínos, no súčasne sa kriticky pozrieť aj na ich tienisté stránky objektívne. V diplomovej práci sa chcem sústrediť len na obchodný dom so spojovacou budovu a hotelom Kyjev na Kamennom námestí. Rekonštrukcia tejto časti Bratislavy je nevyhnutná a mojim záujmom je rešpektovať hodnotné objekty zo 60. rokov tak, aby sa centrum vyvíjalo postupným vrstvením.

Full textAbstract:
In this work new techniques for seismic protection of historical buildings based on energetic dissipation and seismic isolation are proposed . The research activity was applied to three different building typologies: RC industrial frames built in the early 20th century, slender masonry towers and, lastly, monumental buildings (place of worship with a basilica plan).
Introduction presents a literature review and an overview of current guidelines about seismic improving interventions for historical buildings. After that, the work is organized in three parts dealing with the three typologies of buildings above mentioned.
The first part concerns seismic retrofitting of historical RC frames designed only for dead loads. Industrial buildings built in the early 20th century belong to this category. In detail, the proposed innovative technique is a seismic retrofitting through eccentric bracing systems using a new method of design. The developed method is easy to apply and then it could be used by engineers freelancers. The procedure was validated by applying it to two case studies: a 2D RC frame and a 3D frame belonging to industrial historical buildings of the early 20th century.
The second part is a study about techniques for seismic improvement of slender masonry towers. Firstly, after analyzing the particular seismic behavior of these buildings, a literature overview about classic techniques of seismic improvement was presented. In particular, vertical pre-compression and introduction of SMAD devices (with shape memory alloy). Then, a new technique of seismic improvement through introduction of hysteretic devices together partial pre-compression of the tower was elaborated. The new method was validated by numerical analysis and experimental tests on a scale model subjected to seismic input.
The third part, although less developed than the other ones, deals with an application of seismic isolation and dissipation techniques at the base of a worship building with a basilica configuration. The analyzed case study is the Santo Stefano Cathedral in Concordia Sagittaria (VE), characterized by a particular structural system. In this part preliminary results of a possible seismic improvement intervention are presented.
The work on the three types of buildings was carried out by means of Finite Element Models using different analyses: dynamic, static, non-linear for material and for geometry. The post-processing of numerical results allowed to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed techniques also by means of energy comparisons between existing structure and structure after seismic retrofitting. In the study of slender masonry towers the validation of the method was performed also using experimental tests on a tower model in reduced scale.Nel presente lavoro vengono studiate e proposte tecniche innovative per la protezione sismica di edifici storico-monumentali basate sull’isolamento e la dissipazione energetica. Lo studio pur se di carattere generale è stato applicato in particolare a tre tipologie di costruzioni: i telai in cemento armato dell’edilizia industriale dei primi del ‘900, le torri snelle di muratura ed infine gli edifici monumentali (edifici di culto a pianta basilicale). Dopo una parte introduttiva che riassume lo stato dell’arte e le linee guida in merito agli interventi di miglioramento sismico per gli edifici storico-monumentali, la tesi è organizzata in tre parti riguardanti le tre tipologie di costruzioni citate. La prima parte è dedicata all’adeguamento simico di telai in cemento armato progettati per i soli carichi gravitazionali. In questa tipologia ricadono anche i telai storici in cemento armato dell’edilizia industriale dei primi anni del ‘900. La tecnica innovativa studiata nel dettaglio è l’adeguamento mediante introduzione di controventi eccentrici. Per tale tecnica è stato sviluppato un nuovo metodo di progetto e di verifica dell’adeguamento di facile applicazione e pertanto con possibili ricadute sulla pratica ingegneristica professionale. Il metodo di progetto e verifica dell’adeguamento mediante controventi eccentrici è stato validato mediante applicazione a due casi studio: un telaio piano in cemento armato e un telaio tridimensionale dell’edilizia industriale dei primi del ‘900 soggetto a tutela storico-artistica. La seconda parte riguarda l’analisi delle possibili tecniche per il miglioramento sismico di torri snelle in muratura. Dopo lo studio del particolare comportamento dinamico di tali costruzioni, con riferimento ad un caso studio sono state verificate alcune classiche tecniche di miglioramento sismico già proposte in letteratura, quali la precompressione verticale e l’introduzione di dispositivi SMAD (dispositivi con leghe a memoria di forma). Comprovata la scarsa efficacia di tali metodologie di intervento, è stata sviluppata una nuova tecnica di miglioramento sismico mediante l’introduzione di dispositivi isteretici e precompressione parziale della canna della torre. Questa nuova tecnica è stata validata mediante analisi numeriche e test sperimentali su un modello in scala sottoposto ad input dinamico. La terza parte consiste in una particolare applicazione delle tecniche di isolamento e dissipazione alla base ad un edificio di culto a pianta basilicale. Il caso di studio analizzato è la Cattedrale di Santo Stefano in Concordia Sagittaria (VE) che presenta una singolare configurazione strutturale allo stato di fatto. In questa terza parte, che è stata portata ad un grado di approfondimento inferiore rispetto alle altre due, vengono esposti i primi risultati ottenuti dallo studio di una possibile proposta di intervento. I risultati incoraggianti ottenuti suggeriscono la percorribilità di tali tecniche di intervento alla base degli edifici monumentali aprendo nuove prospettive di ricerca in questo campo che, ad oggi, presenta ancora pochi contributi scientifici. Le indagini relative alle tre tipologie di costruzioni studiate sono state condotte mediante l’ausilio di analisi, statiche e dinamiche, non-lineari per materiale e per geometria su modelli numerici ad elementi finiti. Mediante il post-processo dei risultati ottenuti dalle analisi numeriche si è valutata l’efficacia delle tecniche proposte anche mediante comparazioni energetiche fra gli esiti di una struttura esistente e la corrispondente post-adeguamento. Nella parte inerente il miglioramento sismico di torri snelle in muratura si è ricorsi anche alla validazione sperimentale mediante modellazione in scala ridotta.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an examination of monumental architecture on the mainland of Greece during the Mycenaean period. The phenomenon of monumentality has been largely neglected within the Mycenaean context. This thesis has derived inspiration from a variety of other architectural contexts, ranging from the European Neolithic to Mediaeval British Castles, as well as broader theoretical approaches which emphasise the active nature of material culture. Within the Mycenaean world three forms of monumental architecture are discussed: stone built tholos tombs, fortifications, and palatial complexes. These architectural forms occur over a period of several centuries, spanning the period of the growth and apogee of the palatial system. Several key observations were made. A new presentation of the distribution of tholoi led to a reassessment of the current interpretation of this form as a highly charged political symbol. Tholos architecture was instead interpreted as largely of local significance within the burial community, broadly defined. The traditional interpretation of enclosure architecture in overwhelming military terms (as ‘fortifications’) was found to impose a uniformity of form and function on what was in fact a more variable architectural phenomenon. Moreover, while the extreme visibility of circuit walls typically resulted in their significance being seen largely on a regional scale, an emphasis in this study on the process of construction has highlighted their role within the local community also. The architecture of palaces was analysed in terms of its ‘theatricality’, that is its impact on visitors from both within and beyond the local community. In particular the relationship between status and different access to architecture units was explored. In addition, several key themes cross-cut the analysis of specific architectural forms: the process of construction; changes through time in form, which may in turn relate to changes in function; the interplay between visibility and invisibility; differential access to architectural spaces; the relationship between architecture and social structure. This study emphasises the uniqueness of architecture as a form of material culture, and provides a new perspective on the Mycenaean koine.

Full textAbstract:
From the mid-4th to the mid-3rd millennium BC, the Maltese archipelago was characterized by a dense concentration of monumental activity. Archaeological research has generally focussed on the monumental buildings themselves, paying less attention to the environment that surrounded these structures. The present thesis is aimed at addressing this lacuna. The history of approaches to Maltese prehistory is reviewed, and it is argued that the neglect of the landscape setting is related to the practice of archaeology in a colonial context. Chapter 3 considers the physical characteristics and dynamics of the island environment. The landscape context of megalithic buildings is analysed using a Geographical Information Systems (GIS) model of the archipelago. Chapter 4 uses a bivariate approach, while Chapter 5 uses multivariate techniques. A number of environmental variables that influence site location are identified, and a model for the choice of monument location is proposed. It is demonstrated that the location of megalithic monuments was closely determined by windows of opportunity in the natural landscape. The resulting insights into the decision-making processes of this period contribute to a better understanding of the priorities and values of the builders. It is argued that megalithic monuments played an important role in transforming natural divisions in the landscape into cultural units of organisation. The following chapters continue the analysis at a different scale, focussing on the buildings themselves. The organisation of architectural space and the deployment of images within these buildings are examined. It is argued that these spaces and images make ordered references to the island environment. This relationship may be better understood in the light of the landscape setting of the buildings. A fresh interpretative model for this evidence is proposed, where it is argued that these architectural forms may be better understood in terms of symbolic storage, movement and performance.

Full textAbstract:
On 30th January 1937, Albert Speer was appointed as Generalbauinspektor (GBI, the General Building Inspector), responsible for modelling Berlin as “Germania”, the capital of the Third Reich. This project can be seen as the paradigmatic statement of National Socialist architecture. For the North-South Axis of Berlin, the GBI office collected a large variety of designs contributed by both modernists and conservative architects, from the Great Hall in the north, through the Triumphal Arch, to the South Railway Station. The mega-plan positioned Berlin at the forefront of contemporary international debate on the modern metropolis. This thesis clarifies the architectural discourse in which the Greater Berlin Project was produced. The association of monumentality with National Socialist architecture in the 1930s created a polarisation between the classical tradition and radical modernism that provoked vigorous and acrimonious debate that lasted into the 1980s. The social and cultural conditions in which Hitler and Speer’s notion of monumentality was embedded are interpreted from the perspectives of psychology, aesthetics and cultural significance. The pre-1930 designs and theories of modernist German architects paved the way for National Socialist monumentality by advocating a Neo-classical style combining historicity and technical advancement. The ambition to reconstruct Berlin as a world capital was modelled on plans developed by Speer’s modernist planning predecessor, such as Martin Mächler and Martin Wagner, and on international examples of capital reconstruction, e.g. Paris, Vienna and Washington DC. The Berlin project was thus rooted in a wider historical and international architectural context. Major projects on the North-South axis offer a diverse range of projects in which a Modernist monumentality is articulated by series of dominant, high-rise buildings. Administration buildings commissioned by private companies on the axis offer significant examples of the way in which National Socialist monumental building practice operated under the conditions of a dynamic, planned economy. The meticulously planned Südstadt - an extensive suburban residential area that completes the modern capital with houses, schools, an arena for sport and an international airport, again illustrates the fusion of monumentality and modernity that characterises the urban planning of the Third Reich.

Full textAbstract:
The present dissertation, titled "Imperial Doors of Assyria," aims to examine the artistic form and cultural value of Neo-Assyrian architectural doors as highlighted by the three concepts of monumentality, spatiality, and rituality, using the three bronze-banded wooden doors from Balawat as a case study.
Having introduced the materials and questions to be raised in this dissertation in the introductory Chapter I, Chapter II on the "monumentality" of the Balawat doors explores the commemorative value of the Balawat doors respectively through material, image and text. The scale and material was the "vehicle of conveyance" for monumentality. The commemorative value of the Balawat doors as Assyrian imperial monuments lies also in their ability to tell stories through historical narrative relief imagery on decorative bronze bands, and cuneiform texts accompanying the reliefs.
Chapter III on "spatiality" engages with a spatial reading of the door-band programs, and argues for a "spatial schema" governing the historical narrative on both the closed and the open door. When closed, the program reflects a "center -- periphery" schema, implying a political order between the Assyrian king and his conquered lands; when open, it changes into an "inside -- outside" schema, indicating an ideological order between the god, the people, and the king in-between as an intermediary connecting the two. Either way, the "spatial schema" encapsulates the essence of a clearly Assyrian-oriented world order, with the king always at the center/inside as the maintainer of such order.
Chapter IV on "rituality" examines how the monumental doors interacted with people, and how the monumental space was then transformed into a "ritual place." Owing to the architectural function and commemorative value of the Balawat doors, their "rituality" lies in both their constructive roles of ritual events enacted at the doors, and reflective roles of ritual activities depicted on the doors. These two aspects would have cooperated and interacted with each other, and constitute a self-referential system which then reinforces the effectiveness of the ritually-meaningful images on the door.
The final Chapter V concludes by highlighting the case of the Balawat doors as an important disclosure of the rules that manifested the syntax of the artistic, architectural, and social expressions of imperial Assyria. As visual metaphors for the Assyrian proto-imperial system, the door-band decorative programs demonstrate the ambitious world view of an expanding territorial state, soon to become one of the strongest empires in the ancient world.

Full textAbstract:
SYMMETRI: När någon gått bort upplever anhöriga ofta förvirring och tvivelkänslor. I detta vill jag arbeta med symmetri för att den fysiska platsen ska ingjuta tilltro hos de sörjande. När en individ upplever att tillvaron är ologisk finner hon stöd i den uppenbara logiken hos spegelsymmetri (t.ex. bevisar många studier ett samband mellanmental sjukdom och preferens för symmetri). TYNGD: Genom att anspela på monumental arkitektur vill jag tillåta de sörjande en paus från det beslutsfattande ett dödsfall innebär och ge dem möjlighet att uppleva sin litenhet och därigenom orka fortsätta sina liv. Tidigarefann människor i Sverige stöd hos kyrkan och i vedertagna ritualer kring döden och jag tror att dessa riterunderlättade genom att ta lätta individens eget ansvar. Jag vill i krematoriet underlätta genom att antyda ettallvar som ger anhöriga tillfälle att luta sig mot en outtalad tro. TRANSPARENS: Det är en liten del av dagens krematorier som tillåter insyn. Som anhörig kan detta ge en känsla av osäkerhetoch undran kring vad som sker i resten av byggnaden, särskilt i Sverige där kollektivet luckrats upp och individenblir chockad över att inte få bestämma vad som sker med den avlidnas stoft. Jag vill genom att arbetamed transparens ge anhöriga lugn i sitt förtroende för processen.I en artikel om Råcksta krematorium beskrevs bristande säkerhet och noggrannhet vid hanteringen avstoftet. Jag ser många anledningar att ge allmänheten insyn i delar av verksamheten, inte minst för att deanställda aldrig ska tvivla på allvaret i sin uppgift. Genom att göra tydlig skillnad på personalens fikarum etc.SYMMETRY: When someone has passed away relatives often experience confusion and doubt. In this, I want to work with symmetry in order to let the physical environment instill confidence. When an individual experiences that life lacks logic they find support in the apparent logic of mirror symmetry. WEIGHT: By alluding to monumental architecture, I want to allow the bereaved a pause from the decision-making of a funeral and give them the opportunity to experience their smallness and thus be able to continue their lives. In earlier times people in Sweden found support in the Church and the established rituals around death and I think these rites helped by reducing the individual's own responsibility. I want the crematorium to provide ease by suggesting a gravity that allows the bereaved the opportunity to lean on an unspoken belief. TRANSPARENCY: Only a small part of today's crematoria are transparent. As a relative, this can provide a sense of uncertainty and worry about what happens in the rest of the building. By working with transparency I want to give the bereaved the peace of feeling confidence in the process.

Full textAbstract:
Lördagen den 26:e maj år 2018 sätts första spaden i marken för ett av vår tids största bostadsprojekt. Årstafältet, en i dag lantlig lunga i närmaste Söderort, skall under de nästkommande tolv åren bebyggas till två femtedelar med bostäder och i en avsevärt mer urban kontext erbjuda boende till 15 000 nya stockholmare – ett bostadsprojekt vars omfattning motsvarar hela Nynäshamns befolkning, eller en femtedel av Kungsholmens. Den nya detaljplanen, vars motto är "en plats för möten" och vars ledord är "variation", förordar att den nya bebyggelsen skall präglas av variation i höjder, former och stilar. I enlighet med detaljplanens ledord och kandidatarbetets program har vi gestaltat en skolbyggnad för 540 elever i åldrarna 10 till 16 år, som med en postmodern, eklektisk ansats förenat element och inspiration från många olika stilbildningar, och där de varierande miljöernas utformning ej underordnar sig någon enskild arkitektonisk princip, utan också i sig utgör en plats för möten – mellan tider, stilar, material och element. Esplanadskolan har utformats som ett postmodernt skolpalats, där kunskapens enastående värde och institutionens oerhörda vikt befästs i sin monumentalitet. Esplanadskolan riktar sig utåt till såväl den nya som befintliga stadsdelar som ett landmärke och symbolbyggnad, där en stor del av lokalerna är öppna för allmänheten utanför skoltid, och avser i sina inre rumsligheter att erbjuda skolungdomen intresseväckande och varierande lokaler, med ett vinterträdgårdsatrium, en monumental spiraltrappa och en fresnelprismatisk ljusobelisk som sammanbindande nav.On Saturday May 26th, A.D. 2018, the ground work is initiated for one of our time’s most expansive housing projects. Årstafältet, a predominately natural park in southern Stockholm, will during the next twelve years be urbanized to two fifths of its total area, giving context for an entirely new urban quarter, accomodating 15 000 new Stockholmers. The scale of the housing project is comparable to the whole population of Nynäshamn, or one fifth of Kungsholmen’s. The new zoning plan has the motto “a place for meetings”, and its main principle is “variation”. The zoning plan requests that the new buildings should be characterized by a variation in different heights, forms and styles. In accordance with the main principle of the zoning plan, and with the program of the degree project, we have designed a school building for 540 pupils in the ages of 10 to 16 years, which embodies a postmodern, eclectical approach, in uniting diverse architectural elements and inspiration from many different historical styles, and in the standpoint that the diversity of elements and physical environments is not subordinated to any one architectural principle. The school is in itself a place of meetings – between epochs, styles, materials and elements. Esplanade Elementary School has been designed as a postmodern, monumental school, where the awesome dignity of knowledge, as well as the massive importance of the school as a societal institution, is fortified in the architecture’s monumentality. Esplanade Elementary School directs itself as a landmark and symbol to both old and new contexts in its urban vicinity, opening up its doors for the public in many aspects outside of school hours. It also aspires to offer its pupils physical environments which evoke their immersive interest and in its diversity allow for the phenomenological compatibility of equally diverse environmental preferences. The main elements which make up the directional essence of the interior environments are the Botanical atrium, the monumental spiral staircase and the Obelisk of Light, composed of hundreds of naturally and artificially lighted fresnel prisms.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2000.Includes bibliographical references (p. 319-335).
The dissertation traces the sources of modern Greek architectural discourse in the first period of the modern Greek State following Independence and under the monarchy of Bavarian King Othon I (1834-1862). Its intent is to provide an informed account, first, of the intellectual and ideological dynamic wherein the profession of the modern architect developed in Greece in contradistinction to that of the empirical masterbuilder; and second, of the cognitive realm whereby modern Greeks formed their architectural perception relative to the emerging phenomenon of the westernized city. The dissertation offers a methodical survey of Greek sources of organized discourse on architecture authored mainly by non-architect scholars at the time. The focus of the writings is Athens, the reborn city-capital in which westernization manifested its effects most prominently. Monumentality, a concept with implications of cosmological unity and sharing in the same communicative framework, serves as a working conceptual tool which fa cilitates the identification, categorization, and analysis of different models of thought in reference to key architectural ideas (e.g., beauty, imitation, dignity). Special heed is paid to the writers' attitude relative to the country's monuments, both old and new, which were now considered the principal activators of ethnic unity, cultural assimilation, and national identification for diverse urban populations under the call for a return to the country's "Golden Age." The texts reveal that the urge for nation-building under the aegis of a centralized authority provided but little room for the development of disinterested discourse on architecture as opposed to instructive discourse which often followed the path of prescriptive or ideological reasoning. Bipolarity, moralism, reliance on precedent, and impermeability of boundaries were some of the characteristics of this reasoning. Architecture, in particular, was subjected to an ideologically-based dichotomy of classicism and romanticism which in theory obstructed any fruitful amalgamation of the two intellectual paradigms and which, in effect, displaced any organic/ evolutionist patterns of thought. The dissertation presents the discourse of the Greek philologist-archaeologists as the most influential in the shaping of the theoretical foundations of architecture as a new discipline, in the universalization of neoclassicism as the official style, and in the promotion of monumentality as the preferred rhetorical strategy toward the reacquisition of the country's ancient glory. The written and visual texts of the philologist- archaeologist Stephanos A. Koumanoudis (1818-1899) are set forth as telling witnesses of the relevance of this discourse to architecture, as well as of the positive and negative aspects of such a conjunction. The dissertation finally argues that organic practices of space use and manipulation with roots in the vernacular tradition persisted through the new era and informed people's response to building problems in the new city, yet now coupled with the rational categories of modernity as introduced by the aforementioned discourses.

In the cities of Richmond, Virginia; Charleston South Carolina; New Orleans, Louisiana; and Baltimore, Maryland, this dissertation endeavors to find out what can be learned about the archaeology(s) of Black memory(s) through Africological Epistemic Visual Storytelling (AEVS); their silences, their hauntings, their wake work, and their healing? This project is concerned with elucidating new African memories and African knowledges that emerge from a two-tier Afrocentric analysis of Eurocentric cartography that problematizes the dual hegemony of the colonial archive of public memory and the colonial map by using an Afrocentric methodology that deploys a Black Digital Humanities research design to create an African agentic ritual archive that counters the colonial one. Additionally, this dissertation explains the importance of understanding the imperial geographic logics inherent in the hegemonically quotidian cartographies of Europe and the United States that sanction white supremacist narratives of memory and suppress spatial imaginations and memories in African communities primarily, but Native American communities as well. It is the hope of the primary researcher that from this project knowledge will be gained about how African people can use knowledge gained from analyzing select monuments/sites of memorialization for the purposes of asserting agency, resisting, and possibly breaking the supposed correctness of the colonial map.

Full textAbstract:
La ludicizzazione (deriv. Gamification) è l’utilizzo delle dinamiche proprie dei giochi, quali livelli, punti o premi, in contesti che, senza di essa, non avrebbero alcuna caratteristica di tipo ludico. Il suo principale scopo è quello di ridurre la percezione di compiere azioni noiose, routinarie e ripetitive focalizzando l'attenzione sul maggiore coinvolgimento e divertimento degli utenti. Il campo di applicazione della ludicizzazione è potenzialmente sconfinato. Sono numerose le aziende che investono su processi di produzione mirati all'attribuzione di una caratteristica ludica ai propri prodotti, allo scopo di aumentare la soddisfazione e la fedeltà dei clienti finali. In questo senso, anche il settore del turismo ha iniziato ad introdurre strumenti e tecnologie "ludicizzate", in grado di valorizzare maggiormente le risorse monumentali e fornire al turista un'esperienza completamente nuova e rinnovata. Il presente studio analizza in primis gli aspetti fondamentali del processo di ludicizzazione di un generico sistema o prodotto. Nella seconda parte dell'elaborato, invece, viene illustrata l'applicazione di tali principi per la progettazione di un'applicazione Android il cui scopo è fornire una guida interattiva della città di Bologna basata sulla ludicizzazione.

L’idea iniziale di questo lavoro era di tentare un approccio ad una tematica che, per la cronologia scelta, era stata decisamente poco studiata. Il Quattrocento e gli arcivescovi di Ravenna sembravano formare una diade promettente per i risultati che avrebbe potuto dare in termini di riscoperta dell’antico in ambito urbano, di rinascita umanistica e dei valori culturali che, nel particolare deposito memoriale ravennate, avrebbe potuto configurarsi in maniera particolarmente interessante dati i caratteri di unicità che la città – già imperiale, regia ed esarcale – porta inscritti nella sua identità.
Le fonti primarie, rivolte all’analisi della politica degli arcivescovi ravennati per la conservazione e l’innovazione della facies urbana cittadina e ricercate anche all’interno del quadro istituzionale/amministrativo e culturale veneziano e della Ferrara estense, dalla cui società e cultura provengono i più importanti arcivescovi ravennati del periodo, hanno restituito il riflesso di una identità cittadina e urbica indebolita.
Una difficoltà oggettiva è venuta da un carattere costante delle consuetudini clericali del tempo, la non residenza del presule nella sua chiesa locale, cui neppure il vescovo ravennate ha fatto eccezione. L’ipotesi di partenza finisce dunque per essere sfumata: le dinamiche della gestione e conservazione del patrimonio monumentale e artistico della città non appaiono più in mano all’arcivescovo, ma ad una pluralità di amministratori ed utilizzatori anche del frammentato mondo ecclesiale cittadino. Vengono peraltro messe in luce le attitudini e la sensibilità tutta umanistica di taluni vescovi – Bartolomeo Roverella in particolare -, qualità che non paiono estendersi fuori dalla vita personale dei presuli e meno ancora fino alla città della loro diocesi, ma che indagate in maniera organica e legate alle testimonianze materiali fino ad oggi disperse e per la prima volta riunite nel presente lavoro, apportano nuova luce e aprono la strada a ulteriori lavori di approfondimento.

Esta pesquisa pretende examinar a consolidação de formas urbanísticas e arquitetônicas como representação do espaço político na Grécia antiga. O objetivo central é o de analisar em que medida o poder político - ou seu formato - interfere no disciplinamento do espaço, especialmente no que se refere à incorporação da ideologia tirânica nas grandes obras monumentais do Ocidente grego. Assim, os dados reunidos acerca da monumentalização do espaço primordialmente de Atenas, na Península Balcânica, e de Siracusa, na Sicília, entre os séculos VI e IV a.C., nos servirão para delimitar um quadro comparativo entre as diferentes formas de organização política e social e o planejamento urbano dessas poleis, de modo a elucidar a chamada paisagem do poder. Em tempo, dados de outras poleis como as de Metaponto, Camarina, Himera, Tasos e Cirene serão incorporados ao conjunto estudado de sorte a dar maior densidade às conclusões esperadas. Para tanto, far-se-á uso de referências metodológicas pertencentes à Arqueologia da Paisagem e critérios inspirados na linha de pesquisa desenvolvida por Amos Rapoport que lida com a questão da especialização do espaço como marca de \"complexificação\" das sociedades.This research aims to examining the consolidation of urban and architectural forms as a representation of Greek political space. The central goal is analyze how political power - or its format - interferes in the disciplining of space, especially with regard to the incorporation of tyrannical ideology in large monumental buildings of the Greek West. Thus, the data gathered about the monumentalization primarily of two Greek cities (Athens and Syracuse), between 6th and 4th centuries BC, serve to delimit a comparative analyse between different forms of political organization and social and urban planning, in order to elucidate the landscape of power. In time, data from other poleis as Metaponto, Kamarina, Himera, Tasos and Cyrene will be incorporated to give more density to the expected conclusions. For that, use will be made of the methodology pertaining to the Landscape Archaeology and criteria inspired by the line of research developed by Amos Rapoport dealing with the issue of specialization of space as a feature of complex societies.

Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar o papel dos governos tirânicos siracusanos na reestruturação urbanística desta cidade, fundada pelos gregos em meados do século VII a.C. Para tanto, vamos explorar em fontes escritas autores que relatam aspectos importantes da Sicília, são eles : Diodoro Sículo, principal referência para Siracusa, Heródoto, Tucídides, Estrabão, Cícero, Políbio, Píndaro e Pausânias. Trabalhamos com o levantamento dos dados arqueológicos nas áreas importantes da pólis (ásty e khóra), bem como nas suas sub-colônias, com a finalidade de compreender o seu espaço urbano, seu dinamismo de expansão desde a fundação até o século V a.C e sua monumentalidade. O confronto entre o documento escrito e o documento material, metodologia do trabalho, será a base para que compreendamos melhor as relações políticas, sociais, econômicas e espaciais. Os remanejamentos compulsórios de populações promovidos pelos tiranos são analisados no contexto das mudanças observadas no espaço da pólis siracusana.This research has the objective to analyse the influence of the tyrannical governments of Syracuse in the urbanistic restructuration of this city, founded by Greeks in the middle of VII century B.C. For so, we are going to explore the written sources for writers who tells important aspects of Sicily. They are: Diodoro Sículo, first reference for Siracuse, Heródoto, Tucídides, Estrabão, Cícero, Políbio, Píndaro and Pausânias. We\'ve been working with the archeological data at the very important areas in the \"polis\" (ásty and khora), and the sub-colonies, with the objective of understanding the urban space, its dynamism of expansion since the foundation until the V century B.C. and its monumentality. The confrontation between the written and the material source, methodology of work, will be the base for better understanding the political, social, economic and spacial relations. The compulsory populational reallocations made by the tyrants are analysed in the context of the changes observed at the syracusean \"polis\".

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the crisis of identity the United States was experiencing in the nineteenth-century through two of the major literary works of Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter and The Marble Faun. Hawthorne, who lived through this crucial and important developmental period, was concerned as to what this identity would be, how the United States would shape and define itself, and what its future would be if this identity was malformed. In addition, this study will look at counter-monuments as argued by James E. Young in his essay “The Counter-Monument: Memory against Itself in Germany Today” to expand on these issues of identity. If according to Young, the ideal goal of the counter-monument is “not to remain fixed but to change,” one can conclude that Hawthorne understood that national identity must be fluid; otherwise, the nation would crumble under the pressure and force of change.

La tesi propone un approccio innovativo per la modellazione numerica e l'analisi strutturale di edifici storici monumentali. Avvalendosi del Computer Aided Design (CAD), la modellazione di tali edifici risulta dispendiosa e complessa dal punto di vista dell'utente, il quale è indotto a introdurre semplificazioni per ridurre la complessità geometrica tipica di tali edifici. Il metodo presentato è basato su una procedura semi-automatica che si avvale di una nuvola di punti tridimensionale ottenuta con la close range photogrammetry, utilizzata per generare un modello strutturale a elementi finiti. Il metodo è caratterizzato da un aumento di accuratezza e da un risparmio di tempo rispetto alla procedura tradizionale. La procedura è stata applicata ad un caso studio: L'Arco di Augusto di Rimini, di cui sono stati creati un modello con procedura innovativa e uno con procedura tradizionale a scopo comparativo. I modelli sono stati sottoposti a un confronto di massima e ad analisi globali e locali per valutarne la vulnerabilità sismica.
