Sinossi
Excerpt from Judging From the Past and Present, What Are the Prospects for Good Architecture in London?: A Lecture Delivered in the Theatre of the South Kensington Museum, on Tuesday the 12th of April, 1864
IT is now many years since, early on a fine morning in the spring, - doubly so, in the spring of life and of the year, - that I found myself one of a party hastening along the road which leads from the Porta Capena to the Church of St. Sebastian, outside the walls of Rome. Others were before us, single, or in groups, and not a few were following us; so that when we reached our trysting-place, by the tomb of acilia Metella, we formed a large gathering of youths, who soon clustered like bees round the learned Professor Nibby. For he was to be our leader and instructor in an antiquarian expedi tion; and he was now making his lucid preliminary address.
But it would not be incorrect to call this assembly our meet, - for we were going to open chase across the Roman Campagna, long before English hounds had coursed there. But it was not the fox nor the hare of which we were joining in pursuit, - we aimed at nobler quarry. It was for cities that we were going to hunt. Aye! For cities long lost, and only found again by our sagacious and intrepid guide a few years before, in 1824.

Print on DemandDa: Forgotten Books, London, Regno Unito
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the history of architecture, specifically public architecture, going back centuries to ancient Rome. The author notes that public structures like temples, theaters and government buildings have withstood the test of time while private residences have not, despite being made of equally durable materials. The author postulates this is because these buildings represent the best of each architectural style, often taking national pride into account and designed to withstand the ages as a testament to great leaders, advanced civilizations or religious importance. Once lost, these structures are rarely rebuilt, and their loss is a massive blow to our collective architectural knowledge. The author notes that construction of public buildings has remained consistent through the ages while private homes have changed dramatically and as a society, we should take this into account as we build cities of the future.
