Architectural Draughtsmanship
This is the proceedings of the XVI International Congress of Graphic Design in Architecture, EGA 2016, held in Alcalá de Henares, Spain, in June 2016. About 200 professionals and researchers from 18 different countries attended the Congress. This book will be of interest to researchers in the field of architecture and Engineering. Topics discussed are Innovations in Architecture, graphic design and architecture, history and heritage among others.
Approaches to Drawing in Architectural and Urban Design
Architects draw for a variety of purposes; they draw to assimilate places and precedents, to generate ideas, to develop a concept into a consistent project in a team, to communicate ideas and solutions to patrons and clients, and to guide building contractors during the construction stages, as well as to produce further elaborations in order to publish their project in a treatise, a journal or their own portfolio. Most importantly, architects draw to think and to manage complexity in a visual way. By taking into account innovative and interdisciplinary uses of architectural drawing in the design process, both historical and current, the collection of chapters and interviews in this book frames a new critical perspective and a uniquely contextual appreciation of drawing as a way to encourage spatial thinking and practice in architecture and urbanism. The authors take the discussion to a new level of philosophical sophistication, while also considering drawing in relation to a series of specific engagements with urban development, planning, and architecture.
Salutogenic Urbanism
This book offers a new, salutogenic, perspective on the development of early modern cities by exploring profound and complex ways in which architecture and landscape design served to promote public health on an urban scale. Focusing on fifteenth- through nineteenth-century Europe, it addresses the histories of spaces and institutions that supported salubrious living, highlighting the intersections of medical theory, government policy, and architectural practice in designing, improving, and monumentalizing the infrastructure of sanitation and healthcare. Studies in this book highlight the joint role of design thinking and scientific practice in reforming the facilities for treating and preventing disease; the impact of cross-cultural exchange on early modern strategies of urban improvement; and the creation of new therapeutic environments through state, communal, and private initiatives concerned with the preservation of physical and mental health, from recreational landscapes to spa resorts.
Mario Marchi Architecture
This book presents some outcomes, of a broader research still on going, about the vision and the opera of a Master of the Roman School of Architectural Drawing, Mario Marchi (1900-1996). It offers an overview of his extensive work by combining, in the form of an Atlas, authorial Drawings and original Photographs of some famous masterpieces.
Plague Hospitals
Developed throughout early modern Europe, lazaretti, or plague hospitals, took on a central role in early modern responses to epidemic disease, in particular the prevention and treatment of plague. The lazaretti served as isolation hospitals, quarantine centres, convalescent homes, cemeteries, and depots for the disinfection or destruction of infected goods. The first permanent example of this institution was established in Venice in 1423 and between the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries tens of thousands of patients passed through the doors. Founded on lagoon islands, the lazaretti tell us about the relationship between the city and its natural environment. The plague hospitals also illust...
La rappresentazione tra progetto e rilievo
Se il disegno è "l'estensione della mente", rappresentare l'architettura equivale a mettere in scena lo spazio, reale o immaginato. Questo volume considera in parallelo gli ambiti fondamentali della rappresentazione architettonica, quelli del progetto e del rilievo, posti tra loro a confronto attraverso un itinerario di studio che ne indaga gli aspetti prevalenti, ripercorrendoli tra storia e contemporaneità. Il complesso ruolo affidato alla rappresentazione architettonica, oggi ampliato dalla realtà virtuale, si interpone tra il progetto e il rilievo. Tra l'idea che, attraverso le fasi configurative, diventa architettura e l'architettura costruita che, attraverso percorsi analitici, rito...
