Paperback or Softback. Condizione: New. The Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum: Archaeology, Reception, and Digital Reconstruction. Book.

Paperback. Condizione: New. 1st. The Villa of the Papyri is a unique archaeological site and has been very influential in the field of classical studies. The papyri (the only intact library to survive from Greco-Roman antiquity) and bronze sculptures found in the villa have contributed to our knowledge of the ancient world and the villa has become for us the "ideal model" of Roman luxury villa culture.This volume brings together papers delivered by experts in various fields addressing the cultural significance of this ancient site in its contemporary Roman context as well as its cultural reception from its discovery over two hundred and fifty years ago to the most recent excavations in the late twentieth century. They also explore the ways in which digital archaeology can assist our efforts to understand and investigate ancient sites. Topics treated include the Villa's architecture, decoration, and content (i.e., wall-paintings, sculptures, and papyri); their reception since the 18th century; and the current state of knowledge based on the recent partial excavations in the Villa, presented here in English for the first time. Furthermore, the use of digital models of the Villa that incorporate the data from the new excavations and a discussion on the ways in which such models may be used for educational and research purposes are also presented.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A history of the groundbreaking 1960s1970s sustainability event. The Delos Symposia, which ran from 1963 to 1975, were a groundbreaking series of events dedicated to rethinking and reshaping the built environment to solve the planet's environmental and demographic problems. Choreographed around the charismatic Greek architect-planner Constantinos Doxiadis, and generating an entirely new science of human settlements called Ekistics, this ambitious endeavour was run according to ancient Greek practices of the symposion, with banquets, dancing and fancy dress parties taking place aboard cruise ships in the Aegean Sea. Each symposium concluded at the island-city of Delos, where influential figures as diverse as Margaret Mead, Arnold Toynbee, Siegfried Giedion, Buckminster Fuller, Barbara Ward, Jean Gottmann, Kenzo Tange, Jaqueline Tyrwhitt and Marshall McLuhan would formally proceed to the ancient amphitheater and participate in ceremonial declarations on world issues. The Delos Symposia and Doxiadis offers the first comprehensive appraisal of the history and legacy of the Delos Symposia not only as a global humanitarian network, but also as an intellectual theatre and publicity machine. It explores their ideals, commitments and fights, the way they fed into the colossal urban planning projects that Doxiadis was implementing across the world, and the lessons they might offer for contemporary thinking on sustainable development. AUTHORS: Mantha Zarmakoupi is the Morris Russell and Josephine Chidsey Williams Assistant Professor of Roman Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania.

Dieses ehrgeizige Projekt, das sich um den charismatischen griechischen Architekten und Planer Constantinos Doxiadis drehte und eine völlig neue «Wissenschaft der menschlichen Siedlungen» mit dem Namen «Ekistik» hervorbrachte, wurde nach den antiken griechischen Praktiken des «sympósion» durchgeführt, mit Banketten, Tanz und Kostümfesten an Bord von Kreuzfahrtschiffen in der Ägäis. Jedes Symposion endete auf der Inselstadt Delos, wo solch unterschiedliche einflussreiche Persönlichkeiten wie Margaret Mead, Arnold Toynbee, Siegfried Giedion, Richard Buckminster Fuller, Barbara Ward, Jean Gottmann, Kenz_ Tange, Jaqueline Tyrwhitt und Marshall McLuhan sich in das antike Amphitheater begaben und an zeremoniellen Deklarationen zu globalen Themen teilnahmen.«The Delos Symposia and Doxiadis» bietet die erste umfassende Beurteilung der Geschichte und des Vermächtnisses der Delos-Symposien, nicht nur als humanit.res Netzwerk, sondern auch als intellektuelles Theater und als PR-Maschine.
