内容简介
罗马城如同一张羊皮纸，在数个世纪里被不断覆盖、重建。从万神殿到扎哈·哈迪德设计的MAXXI曲线，建筑学教授安德鲁·利奇解读建筑、历史遗迹、城市街道及其背后的建造意图，为读者勾勒出一系列历史速写。每一章他都带领读者在真实的街区寻访历史，将建筑遗迹与电影、传说、故事、壁画一一对应，帮助读者了解罗马这座城市如何形成，又如何被历史塑造。
作为曾经的帝国中心、世界之都、文艺复兴中心以及现代首都，罗马城中数不清的文化叠加交织在一起，在建筑上体现尤为明显。王政时代的砖块建筑几乎被大理石替代，罗马帝国时期的神殿或被遗弃，或用于教堂建筑，圣彼得大教堂见证了基督教会从一个卑微的开局发展为触角伸及四方的精神帝国，特尼米车站的改建则是人道主义取代法西斯价值观在建筑上的表达。
作者都根据罗马所处的不同时代依次规划出线路图，在真实的罗马街区寻访历史，解读建筑上不同的历史层次，依次想象罗马从起源到王政时期、帝国时期、中世纪、文艺复兴时期、意大利王国时期以及短暂的第三帝国时期。通过挖掘建筑背后的历史细节，深度呈现罗马的魅力。
Italian Imprints on Twentieth-Century Architecture, 2022
Italian architecture has long exerted a special influence on the evolution of architectural ideas... more Italian architecture has long exerted a special influence on the evolution of architectural ideas elsewhere - from the beaux-arts academy's veneration of Rome, to modernist and postmodern interest in Renaissance proportion, baroque space, and mannerist ambiguity. This book critically examines this enduring phenomenon, exploring the privileged position of Italian architects, architecture, and cities in the architectural culture of the past century.
Questioning the deep-rooted myth of Italy within architectural history, the book presents case-studies of Italy's powerful yet problematic position in 20th-century architectural ideologies, at a time when established Eurocentric narratives are rightly being challenged. It reconciles the privileged position of Italian architecture and design with the imperative to write history across a more global, diverse, heterogenous cultural geography. 20 chapters from distinguished international scholars cover subjects and architects ranging from Alberti to Gio Ponti, Aldo Rossi, Manfredo Tafuri, Vittorio Gregotti; cities from Rome and Venice to Milan; and an array of international architects, movements, and architectural ideas influenced by Italy. The chapters each question where, how, and why the disciplinary edifice of 20th-century architecture-its canon of built, visual, textual, and conceptual works-relied on Italian foundations, examining where and how those foundations have become insecure.
Indispensable for students and scholars of both Italian and global architectural history, Italian Imprints on Twentieth-Century Architecture provides an opportunity to consider the architectural and urban landscape of Italy from substantially new points of view.

Beautifully illustrated throughout, this book offers the first comprehensive history of the city and its architecture, documenting its rise from a series of seaside villages in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to the present-day city, set to host the 2018 Commonwealth Games. Considering city plans, architectural works, landscape formations and modes of inhabitation over the time in which the Gold Coast has been peopled, it considers the role of architecture in carrying the city forward. Its main focus is on the contemporary city and the conditions that have given rise to its character - high rise, bad taste and skewed towards the beach edge.
The Sydney School of Architecture, Design and Planning is one of the oldest architecture schools ... more The Sydney School of Architecture, Design and Planning is one of the oldest architecture schools in Australia, housed within one of the country’s founding ‘sandstone’ universities, the University of Sydney. But while this history might lend it a reputation for being a bastion of tradition, since its inception the school has also been at the forefront of wave after wave of innovation in architectural education and practice, both in Australia and globally.
This book tracks developments at the architecture school since Leslie Wilkinson’s appointment as Australia’s first Chair in Architecture 100 years ago. From its important role in the development of then-new fields such as architectural science and computer-aided design, to its formative influence on the development of environmentally and socially sustainable design in Australia, and more.
The story of an institution, with all its specificity, SYDNEY SCHOOL reflects on broader developments in the education of architects, designers, and planners and the many specialisations that gather around these professions. The story told in these pages will appeal both to alumni of the school and to all interested in the history of education in architecture, design, and planning.
Edited and with contributions by Andrew Leach and Lee Stickells, SYDNEY SCHOOL includes essays by Paul Jones, Simon Weir, Daniel J Ryan, Catherine Lassen and Julie Willis, Glen Hill, Duanfang Lu and Peter Webber, and Martin Tomitsch.

Read today, it comes across as both an imperfect attempt at a scientific treatment of his subject and an engaged plea for a new orientation in the historiography of architecture. Leach presents a brief guide to this book, acknowledging its relationship with more widely read works on the problem of doing history in the architectural culture of the nineteen-sixties and making the case for its importance for contemporary reflections on the relationship between architecture’s past and present.
Examining discomfort’s physical, emotional, conceptual, psychological and aesthetic dimensions, t... more Examining discomfort’s physical, emotional, conceptual, psychological and aesthetic dimensions, the contributors to this volume offer an alternate, cultural approach to the study of architecture and the built environment. By attending to a series of disparate instances in which architecture and discomfort intersect, On Discomfort offers a fresh reading of the negotiations that define architecture’s position in modern culture. The essays do not chart comfort’s triumph so much as discomfort’s curious dispersal into practices that form ‘modern life’ – and what that dispersion reveals of both architecture and culture.
The essays presented in this volume illuminate the material culture of discomfort as it accrues to architecture and its history. This episodic analysis speaks to a range of disciplinary fields and interdisciplinary subjects as extends our understanding of the domestication of interiors (and objects, and cities, and ideas), the conditions under which – by intention or accident – they discomfort.

The values shared between the baroque age and the modern were thus encapsulated on a single page spread. As Giedion put it, writing of Sant’Ivo, Borromini accomplished “the movement of the whole pattern […] from the ground to the lantern, without entirely ending even there.” And yet he merely “groped” towards that which could “be completely effected” in modern architecture-achieving “the transition between inner and outer space.”
The intellectual debt of modern architecture to modernist historians who were ostensibly preoccupied with the art and architecture of earlier epochs is now widely acknowledged. This volume extends this work by contributing to the dual projects of the intellectual history of modern architecture and the history of architectural historiography. It considers the varied ways that historians of art and architecture have historicized modern architecture through its interaction with the baroque: a term of contested historical and conceptual significance that has often seemed to shadow a greater contest over the historicity of modernism.
Presenting research by an international community of scholars, this book explores through a series of cross sections the traffic of ideas between practice and history that has shaped modern architecture and the academic discipline of architectural history across the long twentieth century. The editors use the historiography of the baroque as a lens through which to follow the path of modern ideas that draw authority from history. In doing so, the volume defines a role for the baroque in the history of architectural historiography and in the history of modern architectural culture.

What is Architectural History? considers the questions and problems posed by architectural histor... more What is Architectural History? considers the questions and problems posed by architectural historians since the rise of the discipline in the late nineteenth century. How do historians of architecture organise past time and relate it to the present? How does historical evidence translate into historical narrative? Should architectural history be useful for practicing architects? If so, how? Leach treats the disciplinarity of architectural history as an open question, moving between three key approaches to historical knowledge of architecture: within art history, as an historical specialisation and, most prominently, within architecture. He suggests that the confusions around this question have been productive, ensuring a rich variety of approaches to the project of exploring architecture historically. Read alongside introductory surveys of western and global architectural history, this book will open up questions of perspective, frame, and intent for students of architecture, art history, and history. Graduate students and established architectural historians will find much in this book to fuel discussions over the current state of the field in which they work.

Many artists use building materials or architectural representations. Architects and critics speak, with few cautions, of architecture as “art”. Is it possible, then, that architecture is returning to a longer-term, older position as an art with sibling relations to other disciplines? What is it today to speak of architecture as an art, and what should we make of the long history of this question? The essays in this volume address these issues on conceptual and historical grounds, the writers drawing from papers and discussions presented at a colloquium of the Architecture Theory, Criticism and History (ATCH) Research Group of the University of Queensland, Australia, hosted by Brisbane’s Institute for Modern Art on August 17 and 18, 2007.

Since then, under the wing of the Society of Architectural historians, Australia and New Zealand (SAHANZ), these meetings have become one of the key architectural history conferences internationally.
Shifting Views draws together a selection of writing from across twenty-five years of these conferences to provide a fascinating view into the region's architectural history discipline. The essays collected here, from such diverse thinkers as Judith Brine, Joan Kerr, Miles Lewis, Sarah Treadwell, Philip Goad, Julie Willis and Mike Austin, reflect some of the most illuminating debates from these conferences.
Together these essays capture a tone of critical enquiry and the conditioins of writing architectural history in Australia New Zealnd. Shifting Views takes us into the mechanics of architectural history-making, exposing its foundations and demonstrating how they can be called account. It shows us how architectural history has been made and revised, giving us a glimpse of the means by which our past becomes our history.

Venice, 1994) made a decisive contribution to the practice of architectural history, yet the breadth of his bibliography and the depth of his perception into historical problems remains largely unexplored even today. The first English-language book to consider his contribution to architectural culture, it opens an overdue discussion on both the premises of his practice and the historical questions that consequently emerge.
