Название: Visions of Heaven: The Dome in European Architecture Автор: David Stephenson Издательство: Princeton Architectural Press Год: 2005 Формат: PDF Размер: 36 Мб Язык: английский / English
There's an ethereal magic to standing beneath a dome, neck craned, looking up at a vision of the heavens created by some long ago figure of genius. From the Pantheon to the Hagia Sophia, the power of the dome seems transcendent. Photographer David Stephenson's magnificently kaleidoscopic images of dome interiors capture this evanescent drama, and make "Visions of Heaven" one of the most spectacularly beautiful books we've ever produced. Traveling from Italy to Spain, Turkey, England, Germany, and Russia, among other countries, and photographing churches, palaces, mosques, and synagogues from the second to the early twentieth century, Stephenson's work amounts to a veritable typology of the cupola.

Название: Архитектура города Автор: Росси А. Издательство: Стрелка Пресс Год: 2017 - 3-е изд Cтраниц: 264 Формат: pdf (ocr) Размер: 14 мб
Написанная в 1966 году, на пике торжества модернистской культуры, «Архитектура города» итальянского архитектора Альдо России стала едва ли не самым радикальным ответом на архитектурный утопизм первой половины ХХ века. Росси отказался от создания нового, «лучшего» города и попытался вернуть интерес архитекторов и проектировщиков к городу историческому: существующую городскую архитектуру он описывал как сложный, насыщенный смыслами и эмоциями феномен, открытый новым зданиям, но принимающий их по своим собственным законам.
