Hardcover. Condizione: Good. 224 pages. Corners bumped slightlyIn the second half of the 16th century, Philip II of Spain set out to use the revenues of the richest state in the world to create buildings worthy of his Ha bsburg inheritance and he chose a young and inexperienced gentleman soldier, Jua n de Herrera, to be his prin…ciple architect. The remarkable partnership between the king and Herrera - courtier, intellectual and architect - lasted more than 3 0 years. The buildings they produced, among them the Escorial, the Merchants' Ex change in Seville and the urban renewal of Madrid, instilled new ideas that were to nourish Spain and European architecture for centuries to come. This treatmen t of Herrera examines the roles of a great architect and patron in their creatio n of a new era of Spanish architecture. Catherine Zerner begins with the events that led to Herrera's becoming an architect and proceeds to reconstruct his arch itectural thought and practice in the Spanish context. Herrera's intellectual ou tlook was closer to the sciences than to the fine arts and his ambition was to r econstitute architecture as an art of building that embraced all kinds of struct ures in a new aesthetic that was independent of painting and sculpture. His desi gns, unornamented to the point of plainess, were based upon the repetition of si mple and recognizable forms that could be adapted to virtually any building. In a series of chapters on the royal palaces, the Escorial, religious architecture and civic projects, the author aims to show how and why Herrera's plain style of uncompromising abstraction - the famous estilo desornamentado - became indeli bly associated with the ideology of Philip II's kingship and the values of Spani sh Habsburg rule.
