AllRefer.com - rococo, in architecture (Architecture) - Encyclopedia rococo[rukO´kO, rO–] Pronunciation Key, style in architecture, especially in interiors and the decorative arts, which originated in France and was widely used in Europe in the 18th cent. The term may be derived from the French words rocaille and coquille (rock and shell), natural forms prominent in the Italian baroque decorations of interiors and gardens. During the 1660s and 1670s, the rococo competed with a more severely classical form of architecture, which triumphed with the accession of Louis XVI. reference.allrefer.com /encyclopedia/R/rococo1.html   (393 words)

Last check: 2007-10-20) Joseph Connors, "Ars Tornandi: Baroque Architecture and the Lathe," Journal of the Warburg and Courtauld Institutes, LIII, 1990, pp. In modern times, working on the lathe is the ideal pastime for all men of quality: for noblemen to wile away the rainy winters; for beneficed ecclesiastics to flee idleness; for the solitary to have an honest occupation; not to mention for watchmakers, woodworkers, and goldsmiths. New ideas that came into the practice of architecture from the world of the carpenter and the turner tended to meet with a steady resistance that degenerates to scorn by the later seventeenth century. www.columbia.edu /~jc65/cvlinks/tornandi.html   (7604 words)

About Emerson Baker Having its origins in prehistoric times, the earthfast architectural practices employed in the Americas in the seventeenth century were directly descended from English peasant homes of the High Middle Ages. If semi-subterranean houses can be found in the architectural record of both the Chesapeake and Maine, perhaps it is not surprising to find other forms of earthfast buildings in both regions. Many of the settlers of the 1650s, 1660s, and 1670s were members of the second generation of Massachusetts colonists, who moved north to take advantage of the thousands of acres of inexpensive land (Baker 1986; Churchill 1979). www.salemstate.edu /~ebaker/earthfast/earthfastpaper.html   (6773 words)

The great urban historian-sociologist Lewis Mumford once remarked – in a judgment echoed by Giulio Carlo Argan – ... The ideal city, whose harmonious architecture was conceived as the matrix for a fully-realized human and civic life, came to life on paper, from More’s Utopia to Campanella’s City of the Sun and Bacon’s New Atlantis, rather than in any actual built environment. Charles Emanuel I, like his father and his successors, was personally involved in the planning of his capital, aided by his court architects, many of whom were members of the aristocracy, and usually trained as military engineers. The fantastic ephemeral architecture designed for these festivities was thus directly related to the permanent built environment. www.history.ucla.edu /events/coll-conf/eurocoll/Symcox_torino2.html   (5980 words)

Hudson Valley Vernacular Architecture   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) This mill was set up with three "gangs" of saws so that at optimum operation, three large logs could be converted into 1 inch boards at one time. Framing to the "layout face" is the exclusive system used in Dutch-American practice, and shows up as early as the Jan Martenase Schenck house of the 1670s, now in the Brooklyn Museum. The idea is that all the elements of a bent are flush on one side, the "layout face," regardless of their thickness, and are numbered on this side and the pins connecting the mortise-and-tenon joints are driven from this side. www.threerivershms.com /hvvanews2-6.htm   (2664 words)
