A History of Ornament, Ancient and Medieval by A. D. F. Hamlin Pdf

Excerpt from A History of Ornament, Ancient and Medieval Books on ornament are so many that to add to their number may seem at first sight a wholly superfluous task. Yet in all the long lists of the bibliographies of the subject there appears a singular lack of systematic treatises on the history of the various styles which have marked the growth and progress of decorative art. Elaborate compendium of ornament grouped by styles or by other categories are not wanting; the splendid "Grammar of Ornament" of Owen Jones, and "Ornament polychrome" of Racinet; the "Ornamentenscliatz" of Dolmetsch, the "Handbook of Ornament" of Franz Sales Meyer, Speltz's "Styles of Ornament," and the excellent plates of "Historic Ornament" published by the Prang Educational Company, are examples of such collections of ornament, all meritorious in various ways, and all highly serviceable to students and decorators. But in the whole catalogue of the Avery Library of Columbia University - the richest collection in this country of works on architecture and the allied arts - I have found but two titles of systematic histories of ornament, one in French and one in German; neither available for those who read only English, and neither of them, even for those who can read French or German, exactly suited to the needs of the average English or American student of architecture or decoration.

Histories of Ornament by Gülru Necipoğlu,Alina Payne Pdf

This lavishly illustrated volume is the first major global history of ornament from the Middle Ages to today. Crossing historical and geographical boundaries in unprecedented ways and considering the role of ornament in both art and architecture, Histories of Ornament offers a nuanced examination that integrates medieval, Renaissance, baroque, and modern Euroamerican traditions with their Islamic, Indian, Chinese, and Mesoamerican counterparts. At a time when ornament has re-emerged in architectural practice and is a topic of growing interest to art and architectural historians, the book reveals how the long history of ornament illuminates its global resurgence today. Organized by thematic sections on the significance, influence, and role of ornament, the book addresses ornament's current revival in architecture, its historiography and theories, its transcontinental mobility in medieval and early modern Europe and the Middle East, and its place in the context of industrialization and modernism. Throughout, Histories of Ornament emphasizes the portability and politics of ornament, figuration versus abstraction, cross-cultural dialogues, and the constant negotiation of local and global traditions. Featuring original essays by more than two dozen scholars from around the world, this authoritative and wide-ranging book provides an indispensable reference on the histories of ornament in a global context.

Cummins (Harvard); Chanchal Dadlani (Wake Forest); Daniela del Pesco (Universita degli Studi Roma Tre); Vittoria Di Palma (USC); Anne Dunlop (University of Melbourne); Marzia Faietti (University of Bologna); María Judith Feliciano (independent scholar); Finbarr Barry Flood (NYU); Jonathan Hay (NYU); Christopher P.

The Handbook of Interior Architecture and Design by Graeme Brooker,Lois Weinthal Pdf

The Handbook of Interior Architecture and Design offers a compelling collection of original essays that seek to examine the shifting role of interior architecture and interior design, and their importance and meaning within the contemporary world. Interior architecture and interior design are disciplines that span a complexity of ideas, ranging from human behaviour and anthropology to history and the technology of the future. Approaches to designing the interior are in a constant state of flux, reflecting and adapting to the changing systems of history, culture and politics. It is this process that allows interior design to be used as evidence for identifying patterns of consumption, gender, identity and social issues. The Handbook of Interior Architecture and Design provides a pioneering overview of the ideas and arrangements within the two disciplines that make them such important platforms from which to study the way humans interact with the space around them. Covering a wide range of thought and research, the book enables the reader to investigate fully the changing face of interior architecture and interior design, while offering questions about their future trajectory.
