""The age of the Baroque�a time when great strides were made in science and mathematics�witnessed the construction of some of the world's most magnificent buildings. What did the work of great architects such as Bernini Blondel Guarini and Wren have to do with Descartes Galileo Kepler Desargues and Newton Here George Hersey explores the ways in which Baroque architecture with its dramatic shapes and playful experimentation with classical forms reflects the scientific thinking of the time. He introduces us to a concept of geometry that encompassed much more than the science we know today one that included geometrics number and shape games as well as the art of geomancy or magic and prophecy using shapes and numbers."" publisher Keywords: Baroque Science Mathematics Geometry Abstractions Haptic Forms Music Optics Cube Symmetry Circles Ovals Spirals Epicycles University of Chicago Press paperback
1983AC-88Cambridge MA.: MIT Press 1983. The great palace of Caserta near Naples probably the largest building erected in Europe in the eighteenth century became an archetypal expression of absolute monarchy. It was begun in 1752 for Carlo di Borbone King of the Two Sicilies who worked closely with its chief architect Luigi Vanvitelli. Although Vanvitelli was one of the most notable architects of his century as Caserta was one of its major buildings this study by a leading scholar of Baroque and Neapolitan architecture is the first book in English on the architect and his masterpiece. The book offers a new view of the palatial and megapalatial in architecture. Although the monarch for whom it was built never spent a night under its roof Caserta was designed to provide the royal family and the court with a grand residence and more. It was also intended to house the offices of the government bureaucracy barracks a national library a university and a national theater - not only to symbolize but to contain the organs of a large modern state. Caserta influenced much that came after: plans by Boullée for a new Versailles to return pride of size to France buildings in both Imperial and Soviet Russia palaces of the later British Empire even the Pentagon. As Hersey notes "if Carlo di Borbone could return from the grave and rule the United States he would move the seat of executive power from the White House to the Pentagon." The book also provides intriguing insights into the relationships between poetry - painted and sculptured allegories - and number - architectural planning that has become a geometrical game. It sketches the intellectual background of Carlo's conception emphasizing the king's mythical forebears and his love of mathematical order. It shows that the Neapolitan poet and philosopher Giambattista Vico influenced the king to incorporate such mythic figures as Hercules and Aeneas into his genealogy and Vanvitelli to introduce their likenesses into Caserta's art which is in turn integrated with the geometry of the palace's gardens and the numerical sequences of its rooms. 318 pgs.

195825416NY: Penguin Books. Very Good in Fair dust jacket. 1958. First Printing. Hard Cover. Publisher's full red cloth gilt lettering on spine gilt medallion on cover. Profusely illustrated with 192 pages of glossy black & white plates and 57 in-text drawings and plans. Includes bibliography and index. Henry-Russell Hitchcock 1903-1987 was a leading American architectural historian of his generation. A long-time professor at Smith College and New York University he is best known for writings that helped to define Modern architecture. Over the course of Hitchock's career he produced more than a dozen books on architecture. His "Architecture: Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries" 1958 is an exhaustive study of more than 150 years of architecture that was widely used as a textbook in architectural history courses from the 1960s to the 1980s and is still a useful reference today. The scope of this volume is international; it covers not only the countries of Europe but also North and South America and Australia and considers the work of the most influential architects and movements. It is an attempt to bring out in each of the successive aspects of architectural production since 1800 its own intrinsic merits. In particular the chapters on commercial architecture and on the nineteenth-century Anglo-American house represent the first serious attempts to tell these notable stories consecutively.
