Topic: Aedicule


  
 [No title]
There are three parts to the aedicule: the room which is the personal and family place, the porch which is the transition place to the outside, and the roof which makes an enclosure and keeps out the rain.
Allsopp contends that the aedicule is the symbol of the family: a pair of humans and their offspring; it is the smallest communal and economic group.
Aedicule is for the living, whereas the other archetypal form, the trilithon, is for the dead.

 Bronte's City/Monuments, The inner center_The Aedicule
The genesis of the Aedicule realization is to be found in the existential need of the ancient peasant community.
They are votive niches, square, rectangular or arch vaulted, embedded in the wall thickness of the house or on the face of the wall with small pillars or columns and the sacred image set inside, with a covering and, nearly always, closed with pretty gratings or a simple wooden frame, protected by glass.
The upkeep and the maintenance of the aedicule is carried out first by the initial founder and then by groups of neighbours related to him.

 Niche - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nero's Domus Aurea (AD 64-69) was the first semi-private dwelling that possessed rooms that were given richly varied floor plans, shaped with niches and exedras; sheathed in dazzling polished white marble, such curved surfaces concentrated or dispersed the daylight.
In Gothic architecture a niche may be set within a tabernacle framing, like a richly-decorated miniature house ("aedicule"), such as might serve for a reliquary.
Backings for altars in churches ("reredos") can be embedded with niches for statues.

The compositional elements of Hindu architecture are given in the form of shrine-images or aedicules, conceived three dimensionally and as if embedded in the body of the temple.
An analogy was drawn between the aedicule and the karana, a unit of dance movement described in the Natyasastra (a sanskrit canonical text on dance music and drama) and reintroduced in the practice of bharatanatyam by dancer/scholar Dr Padma Subrahmanyam.
The team recognized a tension in the relationship between practice and canonical texts and it was for this reason that it was decided to work with the karanas rather than the dance units of any of the present-day classical genres.

Allsopp calls the use of monumental architecture for commercial aggrandizement "ridiculous and monstrous." He feels we must go back to structures which are purely aedicule or trilithonic and wait for a time of a new faith when monumental architecture can reflect a new value system.
In its attempt to fuse together the aedicule and the trilithon, modern architecture made the home into a factory, "a machine for living in." For the wealthy, this meant the house was a custom-made work of art which was hand-crafted with the most advanced technology and communication systems.
Hence, modernism failed to achieve the fusion of the aedicule and the trilithon as it succumbed to the pressures of the Profit Ethic.

The building works began in 1524 and continued very slowly due to the delays of the stone-dresser, mastro Ambrogetto, then to the effects of the sack of Rome, and then to the violent earthquake in 1533, which caused damages to the building.
It belonged the cardinal Stefano Borgia's collection, prominent person who gave a lot of fame to the town.

John Summerson saw his account of the aedicule (the subjunctive - the 'as if' - of architecture) in the eponymous opening essay of 'Heavenly Mansions' (1949) as the historical definition of an architectural element that had little relevance to modernism.
In fact the essay proved of crucial importance both in the historiography of later twentieth century architecture, and on the practice and thought of many of its key exponents.
