There are probably no more than a dozen key textbooks in circulation in universities today that provide a synoptic introduction to architectural history. Attempting to write a new primer in architectural history, especially one that can be referred to both in history classes and in other parts of the curriculum, is a daunting endeavour. For its broad applicability and accessibility, Calder’s book is arguably the most important new contribution to the field of architectural history in decades. It arrives at a moment of profound anthropocentric reflection: after the explosions of outrage voiced through the Rhodes Must Fall and Black Lives Matter movements, the Eurocentrism and structural racism of institutions around the world has now been undeniably foregrounded. With environmental disasters unfolding on every continent, the demands of Architects Declare and Architecture Education Declares place new pressures on our discipline (both in education and in practice) to radically change the way in which we value materials, buildings, and energy. To understand the significance of this book, we should consider the problematic character of teaching architectural history as part of an architecture education. The signature pedagogy of architecture education is the design studio, but a problematic consequence of the pre-eminence of the design studio in architecture education is keenly felt in those parts of the curriculum that are not a part of it. If half of the curriculum is expected to be design studio (and the Royal Institute of British Architects requires validated courses to allocate 50% of credits to ‘design studio’), then the teaching of structures, technology, environment, theory and history, urban planning, and professional studies has to fit in the other half.

A leading architect and educator who played a key role in the professionalisation of architecture in Iran, Foroughi maintained his status as a respected national and international figure in the architectural discipline from the early 1960s until the Islamic Revolution of 1979. Through a focused investigation of Foroughi’s teaching and architectural works from the 1930s to the 1960s, this article foregrounds a convergence that occurred between Beaux-Arts practices and the Iranian will towards a nationalist expression. This convergence was not simply an exportation of the Beaux-Arts methods abroad; it explicitly began in the setting of the Beaux-Arts in France where such a convergence found a productive ‘testing ground’ before its eventual transfer to Iran. The article’s findings are based on archival research conducted in Paris and Tehran, and a close comparative analysis of Foroughi’s student projects at the École with his significant architectural projects in Iran. What emerges is a surprisingly subtle transformation of architectural expression from one context to the other, made possible by the particular operations of the Beaux-Arts methods within the Iranian context.","PeriodicalId":44236,"journal":{"name":"METU Journal of the Faculty of Architecture","volume":"13 1","pages":"945 - 968"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87637298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In his unpublished manuscript La Construction des villes (1910), he enthusiastically endorsed Camillo Sitte’s conception of space as an emanation of the human body, predicated solely on its physiological effect; and he dismissed urban structures that are legible in plan but not sensorially comprehensible as irrelevant. However, in Urbanisme (1925) he polemically inverted his earlier position, deriding Sitte’s physiology and exhorting the virtues of rational planning and pure geometry dissociated from the human body. Intriguingly, Le Corbusier’s reference to the Bastide town of Monpazier (1284) in Urbanisme and the photographs that he archived suggest the third reading of corporalité, with a nuance and ambiguity that transcends either of his earlier polemical positions. The medieval founders of Monpazier conceived of the city as a substitute for the political body of their king. Monpazier is experienced both as a singular, cohesive urban corpus and as an agglomeration of separate houses. Le Corbusier’s Unité d’habitation (1947–1952) extends this genealogy of twofold readings. While the Unité confronts its visitors as a standing, singular corpus of a vertical city, its façade exposes a diagrammatic representation of its urban assemblage of maisonettes.","PeriodicalId":44236,"journal":{"name":"METU Journal of the Faculty of Architecture","volume":"4 1","pages":"1031 - 1053"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79480332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bang is the Korean word for the basic unit of an interior space (similar to the English word ‘room’). The propagation of the alternative of Bang accords neither with the rational aesthetic principles of architectural Modernism nor with the popularisation of it as a style, for the simple reason that most people in Seoul do not understand its architecture as being either a self-referential expression of individuality or a form of art to be preserved. The experience of Seoul’s residents differs from an approach to architecture that takes into consideration visual organisation, formal aesthetics, or stylistic distinctions. This article argues that the architecture of the city of Seoul is perceived by ordinary Seoulites as an empty shell, an artificial field for life, an infrastructure stripped of any stylistic or formal language. By extending the ‘public’ space of the city to the interior of buildings, Bangs operate as a reminder of the constructed meaning of the idea of the ‘public’, demonstrating a bare condition that transcends the contemporary focus on aesthetics and forms. Emerging at the nexus formed by the daily realities of competition, exploitation, and the lack of scruples bred by contemporary neoliberalism, Bangs enable the citizens of Seoul to thrive in their own way and on their terms.","PeriodicalId":44236,"journal":{"name":"METU Journal of the Faculty of Architecture","volume":"2 1","pages":"1000 - 1030"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83634622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been widely researched in terms of its architectural form, construction, and iconography. This article, which builds upon earlier research, explores the internal environment of the house as it would have been experienced by its first occupants at the end of the sixteenth century. It shows that the form, construction, and internal planning of the house were consciously and precisely organised to provide a comfortable internal environment in the often severe climate of late sixteenth-century England. The climate of the ‘Little Ice Age’ is described from sources in climate history and cultural observation, and the Elizabethan concept of comfort is outlined with reference to accounts of contemporary events and to studies in costume history. The article focuses on five significant spaces within the house to reconstruct their historic environments with reference to archival sources on Hardwick and to the results of a programme of physical monitoring of the thermal environment in the house, carried out by the authors between July 2018 and August 2019. Our aim is to show how the combination of architectural history and building science allows us to reach a deeper cultural interpretation of the historic environment.","PeriodicalId":44236,"journal":{"name":"METU Journal of the Faculty of Architecture","volume":"26 1","pages":"861 - 892"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89530596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the deep interest and the great number of studies that the publication of this text inspired in the last decades, Ejzenštejn’s analysis of the Basilica of Saint Peter, which occupies almost half of the article, has been overlooked. This article focuses on Ejzenštejn’s sequential interpretation of the Basilica and compares it with the one offered in 1952 by Luigi Moretti in the article ‘Strutture e Sequenze di Spazi’ [‘Structures and Sequences of Spaces’]. Examining Ejzenštejn’s and Moretti’s texts and related visual products, it develops a different way of considering the sequential qualities of the Basilica. Indeed, while Moretti proposes sequences as a method to design and represent three-dimensional spaces, the concept of montage as theorised by Ejzenštejn focuses on two-dimensional sequences as a tool to arrange images in space. The article proposes a series of possible common points between Ejzenštejn’s and Moretti’s theories, on the basis of a shared vision of sequences as mental constructs, and engages with a wider discussion on the dilemma between visual and spatial properties of architecture.","PeriodicalId":44236,"journal":{"name":"METU Journal of the Faculty of Architecture","volume":"106 1","pages":"893 - 911"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87741113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
