RESUMEN:El análisis de la relación directa de los términos “estilo jesuítico” y “noster modus” con las teorías arquitectónicas del Humanismo como aglutinante de la llamada arquitectura de los jesuitas es una parte fundamental del trabajo. A partir de esta hipótesis, hemos utilizado la tipología de San Luis de los Franceses, (Sevilla), como ejemplo característico de la funcionalidad, ornato y lenguaje decorativo de la arquitectura jesuítica. Considerada como de las arquitecturas más notables de la Compañía de Jesús, es destacable su planta centrada en forma de cruz griega inscrita en un rectángulo, poco conocida en Sevilla. El diseño de la arquitectura basado en sus propias reglas constructivas ha sido un hito de la historia de arquitectura occidental. Esta forma de proceder respetaba el pensamiento humanista en el que la casa de Dios debía simbolizar la perfección, armonía, belleza e integridad del Creador.PALABRAS CLAVE:Humanismo; Arquitectura jesuítica; Barroco; Perspectiva Lineal; Noster modus.ABSTRACTThe analysis of the direct relationship of the terms “jesuit style” and “noster modus” (our way of proceeding), with the architectural theories of Humanism as a binder of what it is called Jesuit Architecture, it is also a fundamental part of this work. From this hypothesis, we used the typology of St. Louis of the French in Seville, as an example of ornamental and decorative language of Jesuit architecture. This church is considered one of the most remarkable architectures of the Society of Jesus. It is noteworthy its centered floor plan in the shape of a Greek cross inscribed in a rectangle. This is plan is little known in Sevillian Architecture. The design of the architecture based on Jesuitical construction rules has been a milestone in Western architectural history. This way of proceeding respected humanist thinking, in which the household of God was supposed to symbolize perfection, harmony, beauty and integrity of Creator.KEYWORDS:Humanism; Jesuit Architecture; Baroque; Linear Perspective; Noster modus.

Full textAbstract:
Considered within the context of Jesuit theatre and liturgy, and within the broader culture of spectacle and ritual in the era of Counter-Reform, the works of art and architecture commissioned by the Jesuits in the seventeenth century can be read as “theatres” of religious performance. This concept is given an ideal case study in the work of Jesuit artist Andrea Pozzo (1642–1709). In this essay I present Pozzo’s work within the context of ritual and prayer for which it was produced, focusing on two of his religious scenographies and two of his lesser-known painting projects. As I consider their use of allegory, emblems and symbols, visual narratives, spatial illusions, and architecture, I argue that both the scenographies and the permanent church decorations achieve persuasion through the engagement of the observer as a performer in a ritual involving both internal and external performance.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents the history and accomplishments of Jesuit architecture in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth from the late sixteenth to the late eighteenth century. The author sees Jesuit architecture as a distinct and homogeneous element within Polish architecture. The paper starts with a brief presentation of the existing research in the subject. It moves on to enumerate the activities of the Society in the field of construction, divided into three major booms: the first roughly between 1575 and 1650, the second between 1670 and 1700, and the third from 1740 to 1770, divided by periods of relative decline caused by a succession of devastating wars. The paper identifies the most important architects involved in the construction of Jesuit churches, as well as their most notable works. The paper ends with a brief note concerning the fate of the Jesuit churches after the suppression of the Society and the partitions of Poland.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the issue of functioning of the “Il Gesù model” in Lima architecture of the first half of the 17th century. The first part describes “models” in sciences and discusses the issue of using “models” in architecture and in research into architecture. Then it formulates the “Il Gesù model” and, making use of it, characterises three buildings in Lima: San Pablo (contemporarily San Pedro) Jesuit church, a Franciscan church and a Merderian one. Deliberations are summed up with the reflection on various ways of understanding of the notion of “Jesuit style”, one of which is closely related to the similarity to the Jesuit Il Gesù church in Rome.

Full textAbstract:
The visual arts are a powerful tool of communication, a fact recognized and utilized by the Jesuits from the foundation of the order. The Society of Jesus has long used imagery, works of art and architecture, and other aspects of visual and material culture for varied purposes, and the five articles in this issue of the Journal of Jesuit Studies explore how the art they commissioned exemplifies the ideals, goals, desires, and accomplishments of the Society. In particular, these five scholars examine a wide array of images and ideas to consider myriad relationships between the Society and works of art in the early modern period, and the implications of their increasingly global footprint.

Full textAbstract:
At the end of the first half of the 17th century, a “European” character of Peruvian architecture was loosened. In 1650, an earthquake in Cusco destroyed existing buildings and, as the result, proved to be an impetus for building movement intensification. One of a few buildings which were not destroyed was a still unfinished Cusco cathedral, which later played a unique role in baroque architecture development in Peru. The temple was undoubtedly one of the first productions which could be associated with a baroque style. However, without diminishing the significance of the object, it is worth emphasizing other (not less important) sources of baroque architecture in the region. Another temple that undoubtedly influenced the shaping of a new trend in local building was a Jesuit church in Cusco. Mentioned as an important object for Peruvian architecture of the colonial period, it is usually treated as an element in the sequence of baroque architecture development in Peru. It is worth emphasizing the role that the temple played in creation of certain architectural models, which were present in Peruvian building of the late 17th and 18th centuries. Three analysed elements are: a facade composition (influence on the architecture of Cusco: San Pedro, Nuestra Señora de Belén, San Sebastián and the region – temples in Ayaviri, Asillo, Mamara, Huaquira, Puno); a design, a spatial layout and a structural system (similarity to a Jesuit church in Cusco of the temples of San Pedro in Cusco, San Pedro in Juli, Santiago de Pomata, Pisco); decorative-ornamental motifs – towers’ finials (San Pedro in Cusco) or columns’ decoration (Santa Cruz in Juli).

Full textAbstract:
Following a brief discussion of comparative and entangled history, and of the extension of studies of the Renaissance to the world beyond Europe, this article focusses on the Jesuits as carriers of the ideas and forms of the European Renaissance to their mission stations in Asia and the Americas. In their attempts to adapt or ‘accommodate’ Christianity to the cultures of the peoples that they were attempting to convert, Jesuit missionaries made use of Renaissance humanism, rhetoric, grammar and the concern with manners and customs that was later known as ethnography. The missionaries also made use of art and architecture in the Renaissance style to reinforce the Christian message. Their use of local craftsmen had the unintended consequence of introducing new elements into this western style, producing a hybrid art. However, without wanting it or even knowing it, the Jesuits prepared the way for the later reception of western art in India, China and Japan.

Abstract. HBIM methodology is increasingly used for the management of all aspects of architectural heritage, from survey and analysis to conservation, management and restoration issues.Application of HBIM are the so-called Scan-to-BIM processes in which the artifact is surveyed with digital techniques of laser scanning and photogrammetry. These techniques result in point clouds, the basis of the subsequent process of informative and geometric modelling of the artifact. The resulting "smart models" are composed of parametric objects rich in information that can be easily updated at any time.The proposed methodology aims at integrating a study of architectural orders, whose results become preparatory to the subsequent phases of survey and modeling, to the classic Scan-to-BIM workflows. In particular, in the modeling these results have allowed a more targeted choice of techniques used.The method has been applied to the atrium of the former Jesuit College of Santa Croce in Cagliari, which today hosts one of the seats of the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture of the University of Cagliari; in particular, the atrium of the east body of the former Jesuit College, designed by the Piedmontese architect Antonio Felice De Vincenti, has been modelled.

Abstract The implementation of the Velasco administration’s agrarian reforms in the 1970s transformed Peru’s rural landscape and the ways in which communities relate to the physical reminders of the time of the haciendas. Community engagement during recent archaeological research at colonial Jesuit wine haciendas in Nasca’s Ingenio Valley has revealed narratives that link historical memory on the former estates to fantastical imagery of ghosts, treasure, and mysterious tunnels, which simultaneously reference multiple attitudes related to a difficult past. This article ethnographically explores local engagement with hacienda architecture and memories of the hacienda period, which formulate a set of coexisting complex historical narratives indexing the modern communities’ diversely experienced relationship to multiple historical events stretching into the deep colonial past, simultaneously expressing associated trauma, loss, and hope.

Abstract. This paper describes the digital survey activities carried out in Brazil, in the state of São Paulo, in order to document historical architectures and his vernacular features. After introducing the researches performed in Brazil in the last years, the Brazilian state-of-art of architecture is summarised, so that it is possible to understand the complexities and the referential typological and cultural models. Typical Paulistano vernacular building techniques are thereafter deepened, before outlining the case-study of the Jesuit mission of Carapicuiba, one of the few rammed earths building in existence in São Paulo. Quick digital survey techniques, like aerial photogrammetry, make possible for architects and scholars to rapidly record the building’s morphology and state of preservation, for future cultural heritage conservation. Research findings permitted to update the settlement’s survey data, specifically the ones linked to surfaces, colors, and materials.

Full textAbstract:
In 1575 the Jesuit general in Rome issued an ordinance governing the use of music in the order's rapidly expanding network of colleges. Motets, masses, hymns, "and other pious compositions" were to be retained; indecent and "vain" music was to be burned. Sixteen years later the Jesuits' provincial administrator in Bavaria drew up a set of supplemental instructions, to which was appended a catalog of prohibited music as well as a complementary list of approved compositions (D-Mbs Clm 9237). Verbal texts treating drunkenness and erotic love account for the majority of banned pieces, but in some cases—a setting of the first verse of Psalm 137 by Orlando di Lasso, for example—the sound and style of the music led to its prohibition. Although intended for all colleges within the Jesuits' Upper German province, this catalog apparently derives solely from a review of the music collection of Munich's college on the occasion of its move in 1591 to a magnificent new building financed by the duke of Bavaria. Like the architecture and curriculum of the college, the music catalog reflected Bavaria's new understanding of its role as principal post-Tridentine defender of the true faith. And, like the formal confessions of faith, catechisms, and service books promulgated by Europe's Churches during the late sixteenth century, Bavaria's catalog of prohibited music gave expression to an ideology of difference and exclusion that lies at the very heart of post-Reformation Christianity.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents a contextual use of the innovative drawing techniques that involved architecture and painting in the Qing court during the first half of the eighteenth century. At this point architectural linear perspective in painting (quadratura) and stage design had become common fields of experimentation for the Chinese and Jesuit artists missionaries. In this conceptual context, Western quadratura was developed in China by Giovanni Gherardini. (1655–1729), and especially by Giuseppe Castiglione (1688–1766), who is remembered as an extraordinarily versatile architect–painter. The focus of this paper is on the “illusory mural paintings of architectural perspective in Nantang Church” (Beijing), which has now disappeared, and which spread the influence of the Western Renaissance. The imported Western linear perspective and the fundamentals of architectural drawing facilitated the systematization and dissemination of the quadratura as an unknown technique in China. Based on the text described by the contemporary scholar Yao Yuan Zhi, an original interpretation of the architectural perspective mural paintings in Nantang Church is proposed. These paintings provide an important case study of Sino-European collaboration in the eighteenth century from different points of view: the representation of the light in drawings and the fact that the concept of shadow in some respects was unknown to the Chinese artist.

ARCHITECT IN THE SOCIETY OF THE 18TH CENTURY GRAND DUCHY OF LITHUANIA The article deals with the problem of professional field of activity of an architect, the place of his profession in the system of crafts, sciences and arts, architects’ position in the society of the eighteenth century. Before the education reform undertaken by the Education Commission, architecture had not been developed into a separate subject that provided professional training in the schools of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The course in architecture was only a part of general education in Vilnius Jesuit Academy, in nobility schools of a military type, and Jesuit and Piarist Collegium Nobilium. There was not enough focus on architectural studies in these most important educational institutions of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania: a short course of up to two years provided only general and technical basis of the theory of architecture based on classical orders, and it was not capable of training high ranked professionals-practitioners. Until the eighties of the 18th century, to become an independent professional architect one had to continue his studies abroad. It is argued that the Enlightenment concept of a creator serving to the state and society as well as representing them has provided an important impetus to the growth of the value of the architect’s profession and its social status. While many eighteenth-century artists were still very close to craftsmen in terms of social status (it was considered, that they used to do specific tasks and earn a living by employing manual / physical, not intellectual / mental powers), architects, due to the specifics of their education – studies at the university and military careers (they were mostly employed as engineers) were granted titles of nobility. In the eighteenth century, the social and material position of the architect-creator, who had been liberated from the crafts guild system, had evolved considerably and created conditions for privileges and for the establishment in the rank of nobility. The nobilitation of architects, who usually also had the rank of an officer and executed significant orders in large estates, intensified especially during the period of the partitions of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. Experienced architects were desired and welcome guests in the manors of the nobles. Successful architects used to invest accumulated funds in real estate and manors with land. The architect was no longer just a hired employee but became a patron himself – the one who was initiating and partly financing construction. Keywords: architect, engineer, social status of an architect, Enlightenment, nobilitation.

Full textAbstract:
An attempt has been made to characterize the peculiarities of sodalities of Our Lady in the context of the Society of Jesus social activities in Galicia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is noted that the Sodality of Our Lady is a religious society of laypeople united by a certain professional or social affiliation, each of these congregations had its own statutes and was under the guidance of church authority. It was found that sodalities of Our Lady are the most common type of spiritual associations founded and cared for by the Jesuits, and the establishment of religious societies is a special part of the missionary work of the Society of Jesus. It is emphasized that the Jesuits not only founded sodalities but also led and constantly cared for their development. Based on the statutes and contemporary periodicals, the essence and purpose of creating these religious congregations in Galicia have been analyzed. Special attention is given to the role of sodalities of Our Lady as a Catholic response to contemporary social issues and demands, particularly as an alternative to socialist movements. It is clarified that these congregations had a specificity as they not only engaged their members in certain religious practices within the Church but also attempted to combine the individual's religious life with their social activities. On the basis of papal encyclicals the influence of the Leo XIII social doctrine on the forms of missionary service of the Society of Jesus is determined. It is noted that the social work of the Jesuit order was part of the cultural events taking place in the Roman Catholic Church at that time. A multidisciplinary approach incorporating various research methods, including source analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, has been employed. The principles of historicism, objectivity, comprehensiveness, integrity, and systematicity have also been observed. It is concluded that the establishment of sodalities of Our Lady was an attempt to reduce the barrier between the Catholic Church and laity by involving the latter in more active religious and social activities. Keywords: Sodality of Our Lady, Roman Catholic Church. religious congregations, Society of Jesus, Jesuits, Galicia.

Full textAbstract:
The seismic performance assessment of heritage architecture presents many challenges due to the restrictions set forth by the conservation principles to protect the associated social and cultural values. These buildings are typically characterized by unreinforced masonry walls connected by tie-rods, vaults, and wooden floors. The era of construction dates to the time when seismic design regulations were largely unknown, making heritage structures potentially vulnerable to earthquake damage. This study presents the seismic performance assessment of the Jesuit College located in the southern part of the Old City of Dubrovnik. A series of field surveys were conducted to qualitatively examine the material composition and obtain geometrical details in part of the Croatian Science Foundation research project IP-2020-02-3531 entitled “Seismic Risk Assessment of Cultural Heritage in Croatia—SeisRICHerCRO”. The structural response is thoroughly investigated by means of a complex finite element model calibrated using the frequencies determined from ambient vibration measurements and material characteristics obtained from the literature review of representative cultural heritage buildings. The seismic performance is evaluated using linear static and response spectrum analysis in accordance with Eurocode 8 guidelines for the demand seismic action level. The numerical analysis indicates several structural components in the building exhibiting high shear stress concentration and exceeding the elastic tensile limit under the demand ground acceleration level. The assessment further reveals substantial out-of-plane bending of vulnerable wall components (identified by local mode shapes) at low peak ground acceleration levels. The stress concentration in numerous structural components leads to the identification of vulnerable zones where retrofitting measures are essentially required.

The architecture promoted by the Jesuit Order contains a mindful construction process, which also implies features related to the urban status of their churches and colleges1. Based on this concept, the following pages investigate their buildings from Transylvania. The study is part of the author’s ongoing doctoral research, regarding the construction phenomenon of Catholic Orders in the eighteenth-century Transylvania. The geographical limits were outlined on the borders of the historical Principality, thus being researched the Society’s settlements from Cluj, Sibiu, and Târgu Mureș. This study aims to explore both the intentions behind the land acquisition and development and how buildings have been perceived in these towns over the centuries. It will be concluded that all three structures were carefully designed and developed in urban areas of maximum interest, to make a confessional and political stance in the Protestant landscape of these Transylvanian cities.

Bringing children closer to the issues of culture and civic education in architecture and critical thinking is essential because only by knowing and enhancing their respective heritages is it possible to appreciate the present and build the future of cities with them and for them, where a city is a place of construction of collective knowledge that encompasses the challenges of sustainability and the objectives of the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations. From SUJ (Jesuit University System) we have a strong commitment to the protection and care of minors and vulnerable people. In recent years, a great effort has been made to move from a culture of protection and care to ensure access to culture to safe environments. The concept of Friendly Cities 8-80is taken up again, based on the premise: If we design the city for an 8-year-old and an 80-year-old, we will have a city that allows coexistence and harmony in a way that fosters equity, stimulates healthy lifestyles, and promotes sustainability for more diverse users. Good public space design including beauty, sustainability, and accessibility are keywords of the new Bauhaus, capable of astonishing, reflecting culture and the values of a community, influencing, or “forcing” people to engage with their daily environment to address the new global challenges of climate change, pollution, and resource scarcity.

Tanulmányomban a templomhomlokzat és az oltárépítmény felépítésének, tagoló rendszerének párhuzamaira kívántam felhívni a figyelmet. Mind a homlokzatoknak, mind az oltárarchitektúráknak a tervezői építészek voltak, így természetes, hogy hasonló motívumokat használtak fel mind a két esetben. A tridenti zsinat utáni katolikus megújulás fontos szereplője, Borromei Szent Károly, új tabernákulumformát és tértípust hozott létre a lombard építész, Pellegrino Tibaldi közreműködésével. Pellegrinónak kulcsszerepe volt a jezsuita templomtípus megteremtésében, tervei nyomán nem csupán Milánóban, hanem Torinóban is épült templom; hatása kimutatható a bécsi domonkos templom homlokzatán is, amelynek építésze, a bissonei Giovanni Giacomo Tencalla családjának több tagja révén közvetíthette Magyarországra az itáliai hatást. Az építészek, mint például a bécsi Kirche am Hof tervezője, a luganói Filiberto Lucchese, maguk is terveztek oltárokat, vagy közreműködtek a stukkátorokkal, akik gyakran ugyanabból a régióból érkeztek, mint a tervező építész. Így fordulhatott elő, hogy a nyugat-dunántúli stukkóoltárokat általában észak-itáliai mesterek készítették a templomhomlokzatok nyomán.Summary. This study proposes to re-examine the dynamic interaction between the frontispiece of the church and the high altar. While the façade often functions as an open-air altarpiece, the altar itself is a “gate of Paradise.” Both the frontispieces and the altar structures were designed by architects, consequently, they use similar motives. Carlo Borromeo, as a key-figure of post-tridentine church reformed the sacred space and the tabernacle of the Cathedral in Milan following the designs of Pellegrino Tibaldi. Pellegrino played an eminent role in creating a new Jesuit church-type in San Fedele, Milan, which served as a model for the Corpus Christi basilica in Torino as well as for the Santa Maria Dominican Church in Vienna. The latter one was planned by Giovanni Giacomo Tencalla from Bissone (Lugano), and from the same family stemmed well-known stuccators and painters, who also worked for Hungarian commissioners. The architect of the Jesuit church Kirche am Hof in Vienna, Filiberto Lucchese, also worked for the Batthyány family, and designed altarpieces. In this way, we are able to establish a strong interaction between the altar-structure and façade, bringing considerable novelty in analysing architectural forms and design.

Art's function has allowed artists to express themselves for centuries. Art was once created solely for religious reasons, especially with the rise of the Catholic Church. The Industrial Revolution and the church's declining influence in the 19th century opened people's eyes to emotion and imagination, which Romanticists later portrayed artistically. This led to nature mysticism and landscape paintings. Similarly, St. Ignatius' Ignatian Spirituality corresponds to the divine yearning in nature. Spirituality and art can go hand in hand, say Jesuit priest-artists. Mystical landscapes reveal humanity's spiritual connection to nature. Artists explore emotion and spirituality through monochromatic art because it can provoke deeply personal experiences My art explores landscape's spirituality.

El tratado Perspectiva Pictorum Architectorum es uno de los principales méritos que han consagrado al hermano coadjutor Andrea Pozzo (1642-1709) como el más renombrado artista de la Compañía de Jesús. A pesar de haber servido a pintores, geómetras y arquitectos del último Barroco en cuatro continentes como fuente de formación y repertorio visual, sigue siendo un texto citado mayormente de modo superficial. El presente examen de sus contenidos pretende analizar su organización y los diferentes propósitos que fundamentaron la obra, esto es: ponderar la arquitectura de la Orden y del propio Pozzo; servir de eficaz manual de taller; y, entonces como hoy en día, interesar como objeto de bibliofilia.AbstractThe treatise Perspective Pictorum Architectorum is one of the main reasons that have consecrated brother coadjutor Andrea Pozzo (1642-1709) as the most renowned artist of the Society of Jesus. Despite having served painters, geometricians and architects of four continents as a source of instruction and visual repertoire during the Late Baroque, it still remains –save honorable exceptions– as a superficially read text. Our examination of its contents analyzes how the plates were grouped to fulfill the different functions which the treatise was meant to accomplish, i.e.: praising Jesuit architecture and the one designed by Pozzo himself; being effective as a workshop manual; and, then as now, drawing attention to its character as an object of bibliophilia.

Full textAbstract:
The most famous architectural complex associated with the Jesuit order in colonial Cusco, was the college and church of the Transfiguration, located in the main square of the city. Monks of the Society of Jesus focused on evangelisation and teaching, which led to creation of subsequent monastic foundations. There were two schools in Cusco: one of them was intended for descendants of conquistadors (Colegio de San Bernardo), and the other one for sons of Andean caciques (Colegio de San Francisco Borja). Each of them was located in its own architectural complex, and one of the necessary conceptual elements of the complexes was a chapel intended for students. There are quite a few sources and studies concerning the history of both schools, and the interior decoration of the chapels located at the colleges has been reconstructed on the basis of the preserved inventories, drawn up at the time of expulsion of Jesuits and takeover of their property. The author of the article concentrates on reconstruction of the decoration, showing it in the cultural and artistic context of the region.

Full textAbstract:
Heritage issues have increased significantly in recent years. However, they tend to remain in the cultural sphere and are often resistant to scientific analyses. If we have to deal with the contradictory matter of sustainability in design for ancient buildings, such hindrances appear frequently. A crucial aspect in Architecture has always been its capacity to dispose internal spaces and apertures in a manner that enhances the balance of light and thus provides attuned perception and well-being. Poor performance in that respect raised objections against the prestige of admirable works and famed artists. If we reject the absurd idea of accurately reproducing identical buildings in the same place repeatedly, how are we supposed to benefit from the said knowledge without the help of any objective design tools? It is easy to agree that at least we would need some scientific support to transmit such proper effects. Aware of the former notions, authors have developed a novel simulation software called DianaX, which is based on mathematical models and equations produced and expanded by Joseph Cabeza-Laïnez, from roughly 1990 to 2018. This non-commercial software deals with radiative exchanges in all kinds of surfaces (for instance domes, vaults, cylinders, hyperboloids and curves in general). It also includes direct sun in the simulations unlike most programs. Therefore, it is ideally suited for the analysis of heritage architecture and especially that which identifies with the Renaissance, baroque and neoclassical epochs. The case of temples from the baroque period resumes the conflict expressed in the first paragraph and the Jesuit Church of Saint Louis (1699–1731) is one of the most relevant examples of efficient illumination found in Mediterranean latitudes, having been recently restored. In this article, we would like to discuss the subtle and interesting implications of employing our simulation software for lighting in such a complex baroque temple. The methodology would be to identify the main energy sources within the church in order to construct a suitable model for simulation. Subsequently we apply the said software DianaX to such model and establish the most significant results trying to compare them with available on-site measurements. Finally, a strategy to enhance day-lighting and supplement it with other light sources in the church is proposed.

Full textAbstract:
Simon Pitz (1592–1625) was a Jesuit architect providing designs for numerous Jesuit buildings in Czechia, Moravia, Silesia and Poland. His oeuvre was known from several designs preserved in archives in Czechia, as well as the Jesuit Archive in Cracow (some of which were published in both Czech and Polish literature). An inventory in this order’s archive in Glatz (pol.: Kłodzko), drawn in 2018, revealed some previously unknown designs by this architect, some of which show alternative versions of designs already linked with Pitz, others can be attributed to him on the basis of distinctive architectural motifs or details. The article presents some of these previously unknown drawings by the architect, preserved in Polish archives, among others: alternative designs for the Jesuit church in Jitschin, additional designs of the college and church in Königgrätz, Jesuit novitiate (seminary) in Böhmisch Krumau and five versions of designs for the church in Komotau. Some designs may have been developed for Kuttenberg – they depict a huge complex of buildings (approx. 182 by 104 m), with a church surrounded by five courtyards. Designs preserved in Glatz indicate also that Pitz was the author of the Jesuit church in Lutsk, which has been previously linked with Giacomo Briano. At the present state of knowledge it can be concluded that Pitz’s legacy is among the largest and most interesting collections of designs by Jesuit architects active in Central Europe in the seventeenth century.

Full textAbstract:
This stock-taking of research on the arts and visual culture of the Society of Jesus since the turn of the twenty-first century entails an assessment of the status of the big questions about the existence, nature, and purposes of the Jesuit use of things visual. It is a propitious moment to reflect on whether there have been gains for the definition of our subject from the visual turn in the humanities. Rather than surveying a wide and diffuse field of publications published in a rather short span of time, here a handful of issues are isolated that have attracted particular intensity of research or that pose significant questions for the future. These issues include much continuing research into the central regulation of and the architectural dialogue between the worldwide foundations of the Society, the widespread adoption of the Spiritual Exercises as an explanans for Jesuit pictorial cycles, and related issues around meditational images. A clear articulation is called for of the extent to which Jesuit “images” were embedded in discourses around art, or not, and the varied classes of images (propaganda, scientific, etc.) outside of the discourse of art so that we might arrive at a definition of a Jesuit visual culture.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The Astronomic Observatory of Ambohidempona embodies both in architectural and in functional terms the very expression of Jesuit power in the Malagasy capital. This study examines the degree to which a scientific institute focusing on research in meteorology and astronomy became a power locus in the colonial context. The key interest lies in the period chosen for study, 1889–1923. Jesuit work in Madagascar considerably predates that of the colonizers (1896), because it was motivated by the struggle against Protestants, who were already well implanted. The study shows that the Observatory, by means of its double identity—Jesuit and scientific—was placed at the heart of a network of knowledge production and collaborative projects, which had local, national, and international ramifications.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The transmission of European engravings to China had significant artistic consequences during the eighteenth century, at a key moment in the development of relations between the Chinese emperor and the pope. In Buildings on Paper: A 1713 Inventory of European Engravings for the Chinese Emperor, Pedro Luengo analyzes a previously unknown collection of architectural and artistic books inventoried in 1713 in connection with the papal legation of Cardinal Charles-Thomas Maillard de Tournon (1668–1710). The sources in the inventory contrast with those preserved by the Jesuits in Beijing, until now regarded as the only references for European artistic and architectural influence in the Chinese capital. Luengo evaluates the engravings and books listed in the 1713 inventory in terms of their impact on art and architecture in China, especially in the construction of palaces in the capital.

The article outlines how views on residential architecture have changed in recent years. Sustainable development, ecology and balance are recently trendy concepts that have also been reflected in architecture. They manifested themselves through a new approach to designing the living space. It began to be approached more practically, inventively and creatively. Initially in the United States, and then in other countries, the architectural trend known as Tiny Houses began to appear. It referred to minimalism, savings and anti-consumerism. In Poland, this designing trend is still relatively new, but it is a challenge for the future in architecture.

Today, Ukraine is actively integrating into the world cultural space, therefore a full and comprehensive study of the formation of the architectural heritage of the Carpathian region and its impact on the country's cultural environment is of great national importance. Prykarpattia occupies the third place in Ukraine for several monuments of architecture and urban planning. There are 3,944 objects of cultural heritage in the region and 1,443 of them are monuments of architectural heritage, 90 objects are of national importance. These are such sights as the church of St. Panteleimon in the village of Shevchenkove, the Carmelite church of the 17th century, with a monastery complex, the remains of the Galician castle of the 13th-17th centuries, in the town of Halychi, a monastery in the village of Manyava, St. Anthony's Church and the Bernardine monastery in the village of Hvizdets the Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Holy Resurrection Cathedral, the College of Jesuits, the Dominican Monastery, the Armenian Cathedral the Brewery in Ivano-Frankivsk, etc.
The article deals with the study of architectural, local and historical literature, analyzes the formation of the architecture of Prykarpattia in the prehistoric (primordial) period, the architecture of Prykarpattia in the Ancient, Middle Ages, New and Modern periods. In each historical period, we have identified stages associated with important social and political changes in the Carpathian region and are the drivers of changes in the architecture of the region. The historical prerequisites for the formation of the cultural heritage of the Carpathian region from the earliest stage to the present are determined, which includes the evolution and development of society and the emergence of socio-economic relations, the emergence of complex political entities such as the Principality of Galicia, and later the Galicia-Volyn state, the change of religion and the expansion of foreign economic relations connections, raids of Crimean Tatars and Turks the emergence of firearms and the conquest of the Carpathian territories by Poland, Austria-Hungary, Moldova and the entry into the USSR.

A questão norteadora deste estudo é quais conhecimentos algébricos estão presentes nos problemas recreativos da seção Para Pequenos Mathemáticos da revista O Echo, publicada na primeira metade do século XX. O artigo tem por objetivo investigar os conhecimentos algébricos envolvidos nos problemas recreativos da seção Para Pequenos Mathemáticos da revista O Echo. Como o tema se insere na História da Educação Matemática no Rio Grande do Sul, este estudo qualitativo e documental se ampara na história cultural para análise das edições da revista, editada pelo Colégio Anchieta de Porto Alegre, no período de abril de 1914 a dezembro de 1931. O público-alvo do Echo era a comunidade escolar e a mocidade católica brasileira, por meio de textos, histórias, informações e curiosidades, enfatizando os aspectos morais, religiosos e a formação em geral. A seção Para Pequenos Mathemáticos fez parte da revista nos anos de 1919, 1920, 1921 e 1924, destacando-se 63 problemas recreativos propostos nessa seção. Esses estão relacionados, principalmente, com conhecimentos de aritmética, álgebra e geometria. Nos problemas recreativos envolvendo conhecimentos algébricos se observaram aplicações de equações do 1º grau, equações irracionais, equações lineares, sistemas com equações lineares, funções do 1º grau, progressões aritméticas e demonstrações de teoremas algébricos. Também envolvem educação financeira, operações comerciais, carreira profissional e comportamento humano.

AbstractThe guiding question of this study is what algebraic knowledge are present in the recreational problems of the section For Small Mathematicians of The Echo magazine, published in the first half of the 20th century. The article aims to investigate the algebraic knowledge involved in the recreational problems of the section For Small Mathematicians of The Echo magazine. As the theme if inserted of the History of Mathematical Education in Rio Grande do Sul, this qualitative and documentary study is based on cultural history for the analysis of the editions of the magazine, published by the Anchieta College of Porto Alegre, from April 1914 to December 1931. The audience of The Echo was the school community and the Brazilian Catholic youth, through texts, stories, information and curiosities, emphasizing the moral, religious aspects and the formation in general. The section For Small Mathematicians section was part of the magazine in the years 1919, 1920, 1921 and 1924, highlighting 63 recreational problems proposed in this section. These are mainly related to knowledge of arithmetic, algebra and geometry. In the recreational problems involving algebraic knowledge, applications of 1st degree equations, irrational equations, linear equations, systems with linear equations, 1st degree functions, arithmetic progressions and demonstrations of algebraic theorems were observed. They also involve financial education, business operations, professional careers and human behavior. Given the above, it is observed that the editors of The Echo magazine sought to arouse the interest and curiosity of the studious youth, contributing to the formation of Catholic youth in the colleges where this magazine circulated.

The influence of phase transformations on the actuation capacity of microlayered architectures based on shape memory alloys is presented based on models developed based on the analysis of the phase transformations in each layer and on their contribution to the stress in the fil-substrate architecture. The analysis of the phenomena associated with the martensitic transformation allows the selection of the alloy composition to obtain a tuneable actuation in the desired temperature range as well as the profile of this operation based on the type of substrate used and its geometry as well as the fabrication parameters. The prediction of a microactuation profile is described for bimorph architectures with a film consisting of one or more shape memory alloy layers

Current Issues in Research, Conservation and Restoration of Historic Fortifications 17, no. 2022 (2022): 162–87. http://dx.doi.org/10.23939/fortifications2022.17.162.
Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes the plan of the city of Lviv by Jean Doetsch from 1770 - one of the first cartographic sources to the history of the city. The significance of the plan for the scientific reconstruction of the state of the architectural and town-planning structures of the city for the second half of the 18th century is revealed. The hypothesis that the map was made for educational and military purposes is substantiated. This is evidenced by a careful fixation of the fortification structure of the city center, indicating the number of lines of defensive walls, fossas, gates, other elements. Many objects depicted on the plan were lost at a later time, so their identification, analysis of the planning structure are important to preserve information about them. Brief characteristics are given for such objects. The peculiarity of Doetsch's map is that the plan of the High Castle which is presented twice on the sheet. The image of the inventory plan of the ruins of the High Castle is placed in a separate vignette in the lower left corner of the map. This image is a unique material that accurately conveys the nature of the fortifications of the complex and indicates its real state in the second half of the XVIII century. This plan of the castle made in a more detailed scale than the map. Another image of the High Castle, painted directly "in situ" on the mountain, does not show the correct configuration and planimetric structure of the object. We consider this image as a project of modernization of the castle fortifications, which was crossed out from an unknown source. Such special attention to the High Castle, a medieval defensive object, also, in our opinion, demonstrates the didactic purposes of compiling the map. The map as a whole accurately conveys the urban structure of Lviv in the second half of the eighteenth century and is a very valuable source for studying its history and architecture. Also valuable is the information with the list of the main objects of Lviv included in the vignette-explication of “Nomina Locorum” to the map, although there are some mistakes regarding the name and numbering of individual objects. The plans of a number of objects of Lviv from that time - St. George's Cathedral, St. John's Church near the High Castle, the Jesuit Garden, Armenian monasteries in the Krakow suburbs, some palace complexes that no longer exist today have a particular value. The question remains why Doetsch's plan does not depict two defensive bastion lines built around the Krakow and Halych suburbs in the 17th century: the so-called F. Getkant's line (from the 1630s) and Jan Berentz's defensive belt (from the 1670s). At the time of compiling the map, they still existed and were the dominant defense complexes in the panorama and landscape of the city. As a separate study, the analysis and identification of the location of the palace of the royal mayor A. Moszinsky on the basis of J. Doetsch's map was performed. We consider this a good example of using the informative potential of the map.

Full textAbstract:
The title page for the six books on optics by Franciscus Aguilonius shows optics as a science in its own right, as the queen of mathematical sciences. It also offers a visual discussion on the importance of the science within the Jesuit belief and educational system. Drawing on a well-known visual language consisting of allegorical, mythological and architectural elements, Rubens elevates Optics to the status of a queen, while also emphasising the connection of vision, the passions and knowledge, especially spiritual knowledge. This connection is not only the key to understanding of Rubens’s title page, but it explains the awkward outdatedness of Aguilonius’s book, in that it does not touch upon Kepler’s latest theories. The book was nevertheless important for Jesuit teaching in the following decades. This article offers a reading of the Aguilonius title page in its historical context.

Full textAbstract:
EDWARD KAJDAŃSKI (1925–2020) In this article, the Authors present the life and achievements of Edward Kajdański as a diplomat, journalist, writer, and painter. Edward Kajdański was born in Harbin, in north Manchuria (China), at November 26, 1925. Place of birth determined his later life, designated spheres of interests, gave a solid education and brought a very rich experience. His father Edward Kajdański was an engineer, and mother Helena was half Italian, half Russian. Edward Kajdański received thorough education in the Henryk Sienkiewicz Polish Gymnasium in Harbin, and after graduation began his studies at the Faculty of Electromechanics at North Manchurian University, which in August 1945, after the entry of the Red Army, changed the name into University of Harbin. Edward Kajdański also studied at the Faculty of Architecture. In 1950 he graduated from the University of Harbin and because of the outbreak of the Korean War left Harbin. In 1951, he arrived in Gdynia and started working in Gdańsk. His extensive knowledge, knowledge of Chinese, English and Russian caused that Mr. Kajdański never complained about the lack of employment. He worked in commercial enterprises, but very quickly he was noticed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who directed him to work in the Office of the Commercial Counsellor in Beijing (1963–1967, 1971–1975). In the years 1979–1982 he was the general consul and the head of the Consulate General in Guangzhou. He returned permanently to Poland in 1982, and settled down in Gdańsk. In addition to the professional activity Edward Kajdański also worked as a scientist, disseminating knowledge about China in Poland, which resulted in hundreds of articles, as well as scientific and popular science books on China. The most attention he devoted to the achievements of Polish Jesuit missionary Michael Boym. In the work of Edward Kajdański, as important as the writing, is painting, which is multi-dimensional and thematically diversified. Among his works there are both reconstructions of Michael Boym’s maps and herbs, the works dating back to the old Chinese painting, reconstructions of frescoes and copies of paintings on silk, as well as illustrations he created for his books. His extremely rich national activities has been valued on many national and international exhibitions. He left hundreds of books, articles and paintings – it is his legacy. For his merits for the Polish-Chinese relations, especially in the field of mutual knowledge of cultures and historical research contacts, Mr. Kajdański was awarded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland with the honor distinction ‘Bene Merito’. Edward Kajdański died in Gdańsk, September 10, 2020.

Abstract We present an overview of the archaeological research carried out on a sugar plantation operated by the Jesuits in French Guiana. The Jesuits’ production was exported to Europe to provide funds to develop their missions among Native people living in French Guiana and Amazonia. We present a brief history of the plantation and discuss the place the missionaries occupied in the colonial venture and their role in the economy of the colony. Loyola was a large and successful plantation compared with other plantations in French Guiana, and its success rested on the exploitation of enslaved labor. Recent research on the area covered by the plantation storehouse, its chapel, and the forecourt in front has allowed us to reassess our initial interpretation of the chronology and development of the plantation. In doing so, we realized that the Jesuits rigorously conformed to the architectural principles of the Enlightenment to symbolize their prestige in the colony.

Full textAbstract:
The essay aims to highlight aspects related to thoughts and works of Florentine neo-humanistic culture of the late seventeenth century. We analyze two episodes of Giovan Battista Foggini’s early activity, which was strongly conditioned and determined by the mathematician Vincenzo Viviani. The first case is the facade of Viviani’s private palace, where the scagliola reliefs give shape to the message of the epigraphs on the cartouches. Stoic ethical principles, combined with the adherence to the Jesuit thought, are used to enhance Galileo Galilei and his discoveries, generating a modern mythology aimed at exalting the figure of the great scientist. The second commission that Foggini receives from the Viviani family by the end of the seventeenth century is the palace of the grand-ducal auditor Donato Viviani della Robbia. The architectural solutions adopted by Foggini stem from the legacy of Raphael’s thought concerning geometry and harmonic proportions. At the same time, the internal plastic and pic- torial decoration provides a behavioral model based on the canons of measure and aims at the search for truth: following this vocation, man will be in a position to gain awareness of the universal harmony and to spread it through beauty and pleasure. These concepts, taken from the thought of the Jesuit Sforza Pallavicino, come to Florence through Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, with whom Viviani entertained a lively intellectual exchange.

This communication reflects on the great Eucharistic celebrations held occasionally by the Church in public places and proposes some guidelines to its development. To do this, it uses the examples of the Masses held by Benedict XVI in Valencia and Lisbon, the Mass by Pope Francis in Lampedusa and finally a Mass celebrated in Fatima by Jesuits General Father Adolfo Nicolás sj. Through these cases is visible how a poor and simple construction generated by a humble architecture can be as beautiful and noble as the richest, but more importantly, its testimony of Christ becomes considerably more credible.

Full textAbstract:
The paper gives a complex analysis of the Xiyanglou palace and park complex (“Buildings of the Western Ocean”), located on the current northwestern outskirts of Beijing, designed, and built in 1747–1751 by European masters, led by the Italian Jesuit artist Giuseppe Castiglione (Lang Shining, 1688–1766). Castiglione, best known as a painter, acted in this case as a visionary architect and designer who skillfully integrated the “European part” into the already existing Yuanmingyuan palace complex and received for this his main recognition at the court of the Manchu Emperor Qianlong, who personally oversaw the project. Using the example of the syncretic Sino-European style of the Xiyanglou architectural complex, incorporating European Baroque and Rococo styles and classical Chinese construction principles, the paper demonstrates the European masters’ practical application of the adaptation principles developed by Matteo Ricci, the leader of the Jesuit mission in China when preaching Christianity in China. Separately, the innovative buildings in the Chinese style located in Yuanming Yuan, which incorporated Xiyanglou, are briefly analyzed, the background of the design and creation of Xiyanglou is considered, detailed descriptions of the buildings of the Western Quarter are given, and the fate of the palace and park complex is traced. The author concludes that the Western Quarter, which became a testing ground where were practiced the principles of Occidental art, acted as a focus of mutual influence of European and Chinese artistic trends.
