Palace of the People: The Crystal Palace at Sydenham 1854-1936

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionBuilt for the Great Exhibition of 1851, the Crystal Palace originally graced London`s Hyde Park with Joseph Paxton`s remarkable geometric design and groundbreaking use of glass elements, prefiguring the modern movement in architecture. After the exhibition a group of bankers, railway directors, and men of influence moved the structure to a new site in south London, rebuilt it to an even grander scale, and set about its promotion as a `palace for the multitude.` Here were exhibitions, concerts, and spectaculars to fill a splendid day out for Londoners of all classes and interests. Filled with plaster casts of great art treasures, life-sized models of dinosaurs, waterworks, and gardens, the Crystal Palace became a center of both education and entertainment from the Victorian era through its destruction by fire in 1936.

Palaces of Sicily

2004 y.
Publisher: Arsenale Editrice
Description: This book is the first to trace the evolution and style of the fabulous homes that have been built on the island, from feudal castles to city mansions and country villas. It begins in the heyday of the Altavillas, the dynasty of Norman rulers who arrived in Sicily midway through the eleventh-century. They were open to the rich cultural influences of the island, especially the Arab koinS that melded so successfully into buildings such as the Palazzo dei Normanni (Royal Palace) and Palazzo Zisa. Sicilian residential architecture reached splendid heights under its Spanish rulers from Aragon and Catalonia. In this period extraordinary buildings, such as Palazzo Ajatamicristo, were constructed. At the height of the Baroque period, Sicily became a hotbed of orignal architectural and decorative elements. During the rebuilding that followed the terrible earthquake of 1683, eastern Sicily gave birth to a whole new artistic vocabulary. In this context, suffice it to mention Palazzo Biscari in… [detailed...]

Andrea Fasolo
Palaces of Venice

2006 y.
Publisher: Arsenale Editrice
Description: `Palaces of Venice` presents sixty-two of the greatest buildings from the thirteenth to the nineteenth century. Hundreds of full-colour photographs show the exteriors and the interiors of the palazzi and the text relates the fascinating history of each architectural masterpiece, leading family and chosen architect. From the twelfth and thirteenth centuries onward, the Venetian Gothic style, much-extolled by John Ruskin in his book The Stones of Venice , started to develop. The main features of this style were pointed arches, mullioned windows with several lights, and the interplay of coloured marble. In the thirteenth century, the first monumental private buildings were designed, and the traditional plans of the Venetian Palace began. In the centuries that followed, the architects Mauro Codussi and Jacopo Sansovino reinterpreted these typical features of Venice`s Gothic palaces in a renaissance key, Baldassare Longhena introduced the Baroque taste, and Giannantonio Selva continued to… [detailed...]

Palacios &, catedrales

2002 y.
Publisher: H Kliczkowski-Onlybook
Description: The collection of constructions illustrated in this book, both civil and sacred buildings, ranges from pre-Christian basilicas to buildings dating from the early 19th century, including such artistic jewels of world architecture such as the cathedrals of St Peter and Chartres, the Paris Opera House and the Taj Mahal, considered one of the seven wonders of the world. Each work represents a piece of history and each has a story to tell in that history. The reader will easily recognize familiar places, others offer a pleasant occasion to rediscover the charm of distant lands and architectural styles that may appear unusual and eclectic. Each country has its own style, its own artistic and structural language, through which it expresses across a wide variety of edifices its heritage and way of understanding architecture. Another important consideration is the collection of illustrations and their origin. These period prints date from the second half of the 19th to the early 20lh… [detailed...]

Amanda Harlech, Karl Lagerfeld
Palazzo (подарочное издание)

2007 y.
Publisher: Steidl
Description: Великолепное подарочное издание большого формата с трехсторонним золотым обрезом. `Palazzo` is a sensual and luxuriant fable. Combining a short story by Amanda Harlech and a series of black-and-white photographs illustrating the story by Karl Lagerfeld, the book explores a glamorous yet equivocal romance. The narrative depicts Principessa Allegra and her American fiance, who at first seem to be a beautiful and enviable couple. Yet as events unfold, we see that this relationship which initially seemed flawless and sparkling, is in fact complex and shaded with reluctance. Palazzo is a contemporary drama infused with a sense of a theatrical past. Indeed the `Palazzo` Taverna in Rome is not only the setting for the story, but a vessel containing the complex history of the building itself, on which Lagerfeld elaborates in an epilogue in the book. While depicting a degree of decadence which many can only dream of, `Palazzo` also explores the disquieting emotional states… [detailed...]

She`s an ancestor detective, an ambitious young genealogist with a passion for history, whose choice of career is partly driven by the mystery of her own roots. Natasha`s investigations are a matter of life and death, involving secrets, scandals and supernatural happenings, forgotten tragedies and buried crimes. The disappearance of a young girl, Bethany, appears to be linked in some way to Lizzie Siddall, the haunting, ethereal Pre-Raphaelite model and artist, wife of painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Lizzie`s tragic life was cut short by an overdose of laudanum. Was it accident or suicide? And why is Bethany so obsessed with her, and at the same time so determined to put herself beyond the reach of her lover, Adam? [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Paleo-Tethys Ocean was an ancient Paleozoic ocean. It was located between the paleocontinent Gondwana and the so called Hunic terranes. These are divided into the European Hunic (today the crust under parts of Central Europe (called `Armorica`) and Iberia) and Asiatic Hunic (today the crust of China and parts of eastern Central Asia). A large transform fault is supposed to have separated the two terranes. Image of Paleo-Tethys Ocean, before the Cimmerian Plate moves north, which made the ocean closed, the Paleo-Tethys Ocean closed off about 180 mya. ~290 mya (Early Permian). The Cimmerian plate starts to move northward, closing the Paleo-Tethys Ocean, while the Tethys Ocean begins to open from the south. ~249 mya (Permian-Triassic boundary). The Paleo-Tethys Ocean began to form when the two small terranes rifted away from Gondwana in the late Ordovician, to begin moving toward Euramerica in the north, in the process the Rheic Ocean… [detailed...]
