The work was published in three volumes, and until recently, scholars knew of an unpublished fourth volume, Architectura natural, only through a fragment of sixty pages titled Compendio de architectura natural. In her Findings article Architectura natural, the Unpublished Fourth Volume of Juan Caramuel’s Seventeenth-Century Architectural Treatise, Maria Elisa Navarro Morales presents more than two hundred manuscript pages unearthed at the episcopal archive in Vigevano. This research not only proves that Caramuel intended to publish an additional volume but also critically expands our knowledge of his treatise by underscoring the vital importance of an understanding of the natural world for architectural education. This challenges our contemporary emphasis on professional specialization and invites us to rethink how architecture was viewed in the early modern world.","PeriodicalId":45734,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY OF ARCHITECTURAL HISTORIANS","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78707916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although known as cells (celdas), these dwellings consisted of multiple rooms occupied by nuns, their female relatives, servants, slaves, and young girls sent to the convents for their educations. Kathryn Santner takes the convent of Santa Catalina de Sena in Arequipa, Peru, as a case study in Money and a Room of One’s Own: Convent Cells and Self-Fashioning in Colonial Peru, examining two spaces within convent cells in particular: the estrado (women’s sitting room) and the oratory. These spaces reveal the role of convent cells in individual nuns’ self-fashioning within the cloister as well as the variety of social practices that took place within the multigenerational, multiethnic households of the colonial celda.","PeriodicalId":45734,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY OF ARCHITECTURAL HISTORIANS","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88655277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the 1869 essay that is the focus of this article, Daly narrated the “social evolution” of architecture as a process oscillating between organic and eclectic phases and mapped the history of style onto a parallel movement of French political regimes from antiquity to the Second Empire. Written after the fierce academic debates that took place in Paris in the 1860s and immediately prior to the tumultuous events of 1870–71, “De l’architecture de l’avenir” demonstrates the critical intersection between the romantic theory of architecture and nineteenth-century French politics. This key text in Daly’s oeuvre challenges contemporary understandings by demonstrating the vital role of eclecticism in the development of a modern architectural style.","PeriodicalId":45734,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY OF ARCHITECTURAL HISTORIANS","volume":"110 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82458642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the southern United States during the antebellum period, fire was a “weapon of the weak,” and architects devised instruments for fire deterrence—or at least fire suppression—in response to perceived threats. In Building Fears of Fire: Architecture and the Suppression of Black Insurrection in the U.S. Antebellum South, Jonah Rowen brings these two lines of inquiry together to ask: Where do architectural aesthetics convey traces of enslavementŒ If architects designed buildings for security, and enslaved people constituted internal threats, how did the apprehensions of white southerners appear in the built objects and environments that constituted the cityŒ Rowen analyzes Robert Mills’s Fireproof Building in Charleston, South Carolina (1822–26) in the context of the abortive 1822 uprising of Black people allegedly planned by Denmark Vesey, demonstrating how architecture emerged as a means of protecting against arson. Artifacts such as the Fireproof Building reveal the traces of a society in constant fear of the destructive impact of insurrection.","PeriodicalId":45734,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY OF ARCHITECTURAL HISTORIANS","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87206789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
