DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe intricate relationship between food, city and architecture, spanning from ancient civilizations to the present, serves as a focal point for interdisciplinary discourse. This book delves into a diverse set of cases throughout history in which processes related to food significantly influenced architectural or urban designs. This book delineates three spatial levels — city, home and intermediate spaces — illuminating their dynamic interplay within the construct of a continually evolving “food space." Featuring 12 contributions from Mediterranean Europe, this publication explores historical legacies and contemporary challenges. Divided into urban-territorial and architectural scales, it offers nuanced insights into urban dynamics, domestic life and gastronomic tourism. Supported by a prestigious introductory study, this research advances a comprehensive understanding of food's role in shaping urban environments. Through the chapters of this book, those interested in cultural studies of food, urban history and architecture will be able to reflect on our relationship with food and its processes, and how it affects the way we live and design our cities and their architectures.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSi hubiésemos de resaltar una característica definitoria del tratado compuesto por el paduano Andrea Palladio (1508-1580), universalmente conocido por sus grandes arquitecturas religiosas y, sobre todo, divieles que todavía hoy embellecen las ciudades del Véneto, ésta sería sin duda la de su pragmatismo clasicista. En contraposición al neoplatonismo del Quattrocento, su afán aristotélico por ceñirse a la realidad le llevó a primar el ideal clásico como supremo reflejo de un modo civil de vida. En palabras de Javier Rivera, historiador y teórico y autor de numerosos estudios sobre arquitectura española de la Edad Moderna, en su prólogo a esta primera edición, íntegra e ilustrada, en castellano después de más de cuatro siglos desde su aparición (1570): racionalidad y libertad son los dos ejes de su pensamiento, y su mensaje arquitectónico por medio de Los cuatro libros una proclama de clasicismo, no como estilo, sino como categoría, que emerge continuamente a través de las épocas.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAmenhotep IV he 1 ruled for the first five years maintaining religious policies and traditions just like his father. However, in his fifth year on the throne, he underwent a profound religious transformation and shifted his devotion from the cult of the god Amun to the cult of the sun god Aten, disk of the sun, most likely a symbolic grouping of the symbol of Ra. Over the next 12 years, he brought about a fundamental religious transformation, abolishing the traditional religious rites of Egypt, primarily the cult of Amon.2, and instituted the world's first known state, monotheistic religion and, according to some, monotheism itself.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSituated at the crossroads of the foreign and the vernacular, Quito-the capital of Ecuador, with its world-famous yet understudied built environment-stands as a testament to architectural in-betweenness. This book interweaves history and theory to explore how near and far influences have shaped its unique character. Case studies present diverse and unexpected episodes in the architectural history of this city, spanning the intricacies of its topography, the design of modernist houses and the appropriation of the motel typology. Together, they show how fluxes of different origins have created an architecture marked by diversity and interrelation. To theoretically frame these investigations, this anthology readdresses the notions of the global and the local, examining their tension and unavoidable coexistence, while introducing the in-between as a phenomenon with many variations and embodiments, increasingly referenced in architectural thinking. This book not only furthers the evolution of these concepts but also demonstrates their value as tools for analyzing the architectures of Latin America and the Global South more broadly. With contributions from both international experts and a new generation of Ecuadorian scholars, Modern Architecture of Quito is an indispensable resource for students and researchers investigating the development of architectural modernism in Latin America.
