2000S7734<p><strong><em> The Mediaeval Architecture of Chios Island</em></strong></p><p>Athens: Indictus 2000. In Greek. Cloth 46X35 cm 144 pp. plus box with 231 architectural drawings in folio; net weight 6750 gr. ISBN: 960-518-090-1.</p><p>In the context of the competition between Genoa and Venice for the dominance in the Eastern Mediterranean the Genoese captured Chios island in the 13th century. The Genoese period of Chios until 1566 has also been imprinted in the local architecture. The famous villages of Mastichohoria were built with plans architects and craftsmen that came on purpose from Genoa. The mediaeval villages of Liguria Dolce Acqua Ventimiglia San Remo etc. which were built around the same time period are identical: same structure technique and organization. They look like "two drops of water". In 1929 Philippos Argentes scion of an old Genoese family of Chios commissioned D. Pikiones to write a book on the traditional architecture of the island. Pikiones wrote the text in French and made 231 masterful architectural drawings by far his best work. Unfortunately for an unknown reason he fell out with Argentis and the publication was wrecked! It was not until the year 2000 that Pikiones' granddaughter managed to publish the study in an oversized monumental edition which includes a book with the text in Greek and Pikiones' drawings in a box lined with linen fabric.</p><p>Στο πλαίσιο του Î±Î½Ï„Î±Î³Ï‰Î½Î¹ÏƒÎ¼Î¿Ï Î“Îνοβας - Βενετίας για την κυÏιαÏχία στην Ανατολική Μεσόγειο οι Γενουάτες κατÎλαβαν τη Χίο τον 13ο αιώνα και απεχώÏησαν το 1566. Αυτή η πεÏίοδος αποτυπώθηκε και στην αÏχιτεκτονική της εποχής. Οι φημισμÎνοι οικισμοί των ΜαστιχοχώÏων χτίσθηκαν με σχÎδια αÏχιτÎκτονες και τεχνίτες ΓενοβÎζους. Τα μεσαιωνικά χωÏιά της ΛιγουÏίας Dolce Acqua Ventimiglia San Remo κλπ. που χτίστηκαν πεÏίπου την ίδια χÏονική πεÏίοδο παÏουσιάζουν ίδια δομή λογική κι οÏγάνωση. Μοιάζουν σαν "δυο σταγόνες νεÏÏŒ".

1995AC-69Washington D.C.: Studio Press 1995. Detailed monograph focuses on contextualism and regionalism and their influence on late twentieth-century design. Regional contextualism is a reaction against the growing homogeneity of cities around the world and Fentress Bradburn is the American architectural firm that has experimented most consistently with this approach to design. Much of their work has been in Colorado and other Western American locations but the firm has taken new projects in Central America and Southeast Asia where the architects will continue their research into place and how it should shape modern architecture.Influenced by modern architecture the humanist ideas of Frank Lloyd Wright environmental concerns and their fascination with state-of-the-art technology Fentress Bradburn has compiled an interesting body of work. Ranging from straight modernist structures to historic preservation projects to works that use modern techniques to evoke a sense of place such as the design of the Denver International Airport their work often consists of public projects. This book showcases many of the firm's projects produced from 1980 to 1994. Introductory chapters discuss contextual regionalism and the history of the firm. Following this are sections highlighting major works and projects still in the design stage. A catalog of projects; a record of partners associates and project assistants who worked on each project; and a list of awards the firm has received conclude this lavishly illustrated volume.
