Abstract:
This paper discusses plant assortments in historical Mannerist gardens and their use during the restoration of such a historical garden. Mannerist gardens were founded in the territory of Bohemia at the time of Emperor Rudolf II. The model garden for the purposes of this paper is the castle garden in Brandýs nad Labem. There are no reliable historical resources which could specify the plant assortment cultivated in this garden at the time of its creation. However, the period of Rudolfine Mannerism is defined by known determinative elements of garden architecture as well as certain cultivated plant species. For this reason, it was possible to compile a list of elements which must conform to the individual forms of greenery (solitary, hedges, alleys, climbers, containers) and their spatial arrangement (point, line, shape) typical for Renaissance and Mannerist composition. The list was created with respect for the current cultural and climatic conditions by evaluating the current utilisation of the garden.

Abstract:
Differences in attitudes and mannerisms of the millennials and the older generation could result in intergenerational conflicts. This study aims to determine the definitions of good mannerisms as perceived by the two different generations and to identify the factors that contribute to the mannerisms and characteristics of the millennials. Using a non-experimental design, a questionnaire was distributed to 400 respondents. The responses by the millennials differed in some aspects from the older generation. Nevertheless, both groups agreed that the lack of a good upbringing and social media influences were the primary reasons for the lack of good mannerisms among millennials.

Full text
Abstract:
Mannerism was the bridge between late Renaissance and the Baroque between 1520 and the 1600s. This movement was characterized by the destabilization of compositional elements through repetition and expressiveness, regardless of their function. This phase in history echoes a trend in contemporary architecture based on the repetition of functionless elements that constitute a ‘green aesthetic’ in detriment of sustainable systems. Ecomannerism is a conceptual vehicle to identify and evaluate iconic contemporary projects that are positioned between ecologies of practice and ecologies of symbols, which are directly related to the sustainable performance of the built environment.

Abstract:
The first independent work of the Viennese architect Konstantin A. Jovanović (1849-1923) in Belgrade, the house of solicitor Marko Stojanović at 53-55 Knez Mihailova Street, built in 1885, signifies the Europeanising surge of the secular architecture in the Kingdom of Serbia, which conclusively suppressed the Oriental architectural practices. Jovanović's father Anastas helped him develop friendship alongside the business relationship with the patron of the house. This allowed Jovanović to construct a notable privately-owned building in the city thoroughfare, thus recommending himself to the favour of wealthy investors. Often linked in historiography to Jovanović's cult of the Italian Renaissance, Stojanović's house also contains elements of Mannerism and Baroque, harmoniously combined into an eclectic whole. Adapted to the Belgrade setting as a two-storey structure built at the top of the Sava River Slope, the house is a direct interpolation of the Viennese eclectic experiences.

Abstract:
The study relates two historical categories that were not previously associated in this manner. One concerns the role of geometry in the transformation of space in the Gothic architecture, where geometric line made the position of physical forces visible for the first time. The second transformation that sees the release of anxiety in challenging the perspective was done in Mannerism by instrumentalisation of the metaphor using visual means of deformation and figuration. Today we experience both historical moments in a modified form of appearance, still trying to give a formal character to the matter of materiality. As it is not possible, this approach has resulted in fragmentation in the absence of a unitary radical critique of modernity. Fragmentation and metamateriality of contemporary architecture today represent a possible conceptualisation of space invoking all known forms of dematerialisation and disappearance of the world, including digitisation. Referring once again to the myths of the Tower of Babel, the Fall of Icarus, and the Wizard of Oz, in this experiment myth and discourse persist together, turning into the other and finding themselves in the other. Building architectural position between the extremes of the metamaterial and the fragmentary is a matter of breaking geometry of form and the idea of it..

Abstract:
Regardless of theoretical approach, architectural ideas are ultimately embodied in materials. While contemporary buildings are often brimming with architectural theories, they frequently flounder at the attempt to translate these ideas into materials. The uncertainty of this contemporary architectural climate is powerfully mirrored in the artistic language of mannerism. Rejecting the tenets of the Renaissance, and inspired by new discoveries, the italian architect of the late sixteenth century sought to reformulate architectural language. Founded on an increasingly encyclopaedic knowledge of the antique world, this language was to represent a new understanding of nature and involved an exploration of natural materials in a way unimaginable in the early Renaissance. This paper describes the garden of the Villa d'Este at Tivoli, a masterpiece from this period where materials themselves resonated with significance. Based on the author's iconographic interpretation of the garden, it draws on original eyewitness descriptions of the effects of water, light and sounds.

Full text
Abstract:
The author discusses the idea of architecture criticism and its interpretation. Criticism, in addition to its traditional literary role, is considered as an act of making. Consequently, architecture is understood as criticism--i.e. a making of critical architecture. The making of critical architecture, as an activity prevalent throughout history, is discussed. Two types of this architectural phenomenon are identified as the critical zeitgeist phenomenon and the critical individualist phenomenon. The critical making of this architecture, supported by two operations or manipulations--the principles of integration and inversion, is described and illustrated. These principles are used to analyze Mannerist architecture (the critical zeitgeist phenomenon) and the work of Nicholas Hawksmoor (the critical individualist phenomenon).

Anexos para consulta na Biblioteca - TCD 3840<br>Tese editada e premiada pela FCG não pode ficar em livre acesso<br>A presente tese de doutoramento tem por objectivo estabelecer o percurso biográfico e profissional dos Nunes Tinoco, uma das mais importantes famílias portuguesas de arquitectos régios do século XVII e inícios do século XVIII. Com uma actividade que se estendeu desde o domínio filipino até ao reinado de D. João V, marcariam a arquitectura portuguesa transmitindo, geracionalmente, toda uma tradição de conhecimentos teóricos e práticos, à semelhança do que aconteceria com outras famílias, como os Frias e os Couto, só para citar as mais importantes. Sistematizados os dados biográficos dos seus membros, tendo em atenção o contexto social e da actividade profissional em que se inseriram, pretendemos esclarecer algumas questões que considerávamos importantes sobre a prática e características da arquitectura neste período, salientando a importância que a estrutura familiar desempenhou nos aspectos por nós considerados fundamentais para essa mesma análise: passagem de mestre pedreiro a arquitecto e consequente emergência de um novo estatuto social; formação, desempenho e transmissão de cargos; contribuição do binómio família/formação para o discurso da arquitectura portuguesa. Por fim, pretendemos esclarecer ainda qual a evolução do seu estatuto profissional, relacionando-­‐o com a evolução da própria arquitectura, e com as transformações culturais e sociais observadas ao longo do período em estudo.<br>The current doctoral thesis aims at tracing the life and career path of the Nunes Tinoco, one of the most important Portuguese families of royal architects, back to the 17th century and early 18th century. Their acctivity spanned from the reign of the Filipes to the reign of king John V and had a tremendous impact on the Portuguese architecture, transmitting, generation after generation, a whole tradition of knowledge and skills, as, in the future, it would be the case of other families, such as the Frias and the Couto, only to mention the most influential. After having systematized this family members´ biographical data and information about their professional activity, integrating it in the social context of that period, we intend to clarify some issues we consider important about the tecniques and characteristics of architecture during this time, pointing out the relevance of the family structure concerning the facts we considered fundamental for this study: the passage from head mason to architect and the resulting new social status; training, performance, posts assignment, contribution to the binomial family/tecniques Portuguese architecture speech. Finally, we purpose to establish the evolution of their professional status, linking it with the evolution of architecture itself and with the cultural and social changes occurred over this period.

Abstract:
The early eighteenth century in Scotland is characterised by the professional establishment of architectural practice and a more self-conscious exploration of personal styles and external influences, especially treatises. Mannerist narratives are identified in this framework at the major buildings attributed to the architect John Douglas (c. 1709-1778), country seats like Archerfield, Finlaystone House, Wardhouse; St. Salvator’s Student Halls; the disastrous intervention in Holyrood Abbey church; and the town halls for Lochmaben and Campbeltown. A characteristic treatment of the materiality of elevations emerges, progressing from aesthetic skins to comprehensive building tectonics, and a restrained mannerism influenced more by Inigo Jones than James Gibbs. The exploration of his professional practice and the organisation of his sites as informed from the study of building contracts and the litigation with his journeyman George Paterson further confirms his authorship of these projects.

The Accademia di Pittura, Scultura e Architettura of Mantua was established as a modern academy under the auspices of the Austrian government in 1752, in order to foster the cultural development and artistic renaissance of the city. Its teaching methods proved to be strongly rooted in Mantua’s built heritage, which professors and students could experience and draw to acquire the fundamental principles of architecture and art. The Accademia performs a work of interpretations on these monuments, especially Giulio Romano’s Mannerism, which demonstrates a modern approach to the lessons of the past and a new lens through which to view the history of the city, thereby redefining the contemporaneous civic identity of Mantua.

Abstract:
Abstract The chapter considers the writing and campaigning of the Welsh architect-planner and critic Arthur Trystan Edwards in order to unpack the perceived need for public propriety, decorum, and manners, alongside a developing sense of a proprietary public. For Trystan Edwards manners was a foundational principle of civic design. ‘Manners’ became intrinsic to a neo-Georgian, and neo-Regency, approach to urban design which aspired to be contextualist, restrained, and nationalistic; it related not only to the quotidian but also to the ideal of public service. The first sections of the chapter look more closely at Trystan Edwards’s architectural thought and writing, placing his ideas about ‘manners’ and public propriety in the broader context of his principles of civic design. In his socio-political vision of civic life—in which design and architecture were central—manners had a bearing not only on criticism but also on practice, through campaigning and voluntary activity. The remainder of the chapter turns to Edwards’s campaigning vehicle, the Hundred New Towns Association (HNTA), established in 1933, which advocated a national programme of low-rise, high-density house-building and associated public amenity. It was a vision of a good-mannered and well-ordered society, in which urbanity was celebrated and fostered through a civic spirit. The HNTA provides an almost anti-history of mainstream planning and architectural approaches to the housing question in this period. The chapter explores Edwards’s surprising connections to movements in heterodox economics, liberal Anglicanism, and positive eugenics—discourses which were intrinsic to liberal intellectual culture, and posed fundamental questions about community need and benefit, as well as social control. For Edwards, they were a means of bolstering a well-mannered physical and social public realm.

Abstract:
Abstract: Biomimetics is a philosophy in Architecture that addresses issues not through mimicry but by understanding the rules governing natural forms. Biomimetics has gained popularity in the past few decades but it would be more apposite to state that this philosophy may have had its origins many years previously in the conceptualization of the Modulor, as Le Corbusier strived to unite Mathematics, Physiology &amp;amp; Design. Common knowledge shows that disturbed by application of generic Imperial and Standard systems of measurements, the Modulor was ideated to help perceive the built environment as a physical extension of the human body. Le Corbusier’s attempt to develop a harmonious scale towards the measurement of the absolute has been criticized for adopting industrial efficiency; though alienating human emotion was farthest from Corbusier’s thought. What then is the architectural paradox in comprehending The Modulor as the universal proportioning system- racial differences in anthropometry, mechanizing architectural built forms within and without or simply an apprehension of losing mannerisms in architecture? Trying to unravel the mysteries of nature through analytics of the numbering system, Corbusier was consumed by the all-pervasive need to find answers to eternal questions in scientific spirituality. This paper explores the inevitable order of Le Corbusier’s universe, revisiting the conceptualization of the Modulor, its relevance to architectural philosophies in general and Biomimetics in particular and the universal application of the same as a governing factor in Design methodologies.

Abstract:
This research contributes to the influential work of Melbourne-based Architect, Gregory Burgess. Awarded the RAIA Gold Medal in 2004, Burgess is best known for celebrating human values through design and for his spiritual methodologies, organic aesthetic, and work with Indigenous landowners. While Burgess has initiated very little writing, his work has been the focus of numerous articles published within a variety of journals, newsletters, magazines, and books including those from the construction industry which are often overlooked in journalistic reviews. This paper investigates discussions of architecture in publications through lenses such as intended audiences and physical medium, which consequentially develop narratives and form perceived relationships between an architectural project, an architect, and reader. Conducted as archival research within Gregory Burgess’s anthology of saved publications, the examination and cataloguing of over 230 publications that mention him and his work date from 1979-2013. The breadth of the collection provides publications which range from local timber fabrication companies to Russian journals reviewing organic architecture, the majority in which the architect and the work was discussed without consultation from the design team. As a robust collection was maintained by the architect himself, general issues of discovering and accessing publications including those which fall within the digital dark age can be accessed and provide a fuller historical perception of the built work. The discussions of and narratives formed within this literature portray Burgess and his work in conscientious manners through the written word targeted for specific audiences: the construction industry, the trained architect, and members of the general public. Often, rather than contributing to architectural journalism or critique in a meaningful way, prominent projects and their broader themes become a vehicle for the author to promote their own voice and ideas. The findings argue that the different relationships an author has experiencing an architectural space demonstrates a broader picture of the architectural industry and the ways that historical publications can generate a perception of a designer and their designs.

Full text
Abstract:
Entrance zones of modern public utility buildings has always had three major functions in the contact between man and the building. First and foremost, they connect the external world with the interiors of the building. Secondly, they provide functional comfort and safety, by means of architectural solutions and material solutions, and, last but not least, they are tokens of a prestige of an institution and its visiting card. The order of these three priority functions has been subject of changes over the centuries. It is enough to analyze different architectural styles to notice the predominance of one function over the other two. Likewise, the functionality and ease of entrance has also been understood in different manners. Nevertheless, from the perspective of the 21st century citizen, it seems that the user has not always been considered with the same importance. Old buildings of the past should not be assessed on the same terms as modern ones. At first, cultural, anthropological and human body dimension factors had the greatest influence on the architectural solutions of entrance zones, only later followed by architectural styles prevailing at given times.

Full text
Abstract:
In Moldovan sculpture, there are two types of the introduction of anatomical structures in the creation of sculptural nudity: based on realism and stylized ones. The pioneer in the study of sculptural nudity was Alexander Plamadeala. Although his studies at the Imperial Academy of Art, Sculpture and Architecture allowed him to comprehensively approach the depiction of sculptural nude, the sculptor still continued to experiment and seek new ways in the description of nude. “Nude” in Yuri Kanashin’s interpretation is an integral part of thematic compositions and has a separate logic, subordinated to the author’s sensitivity. Anatomical interpretation in Ion Zderciuk’s works is the starting point for realistic forms which transform into stylized ones, where metaphor takes the leading place and the solutions are innovative. Interpretations of sculptural nudity involve long-term training, knowledge of the anatomy of the skeleton and musculature, the proportions of the human body. Based on this, the sculptors practiced stylization, always different in artistic manners, but which represented a new vision of the interpretation of sculptural nudity in Moldovan plastic art.

Abstract:
Hunches allow us to navigate in a trans-scalar world. Without them, teachers, researchers and practitioners would be left aimless.Hunches relate to the embodied and synthetic nature of the knowledge we produce, but also to its unfolding. Instead of denying importance of hunches or minimizing their impact, can we imagine to build a more apt framework for the kinds of encounters and negotiation they facilitate? Shall we do it within pre-existing academic and practical knowledge? Can we set up a pedagogical experience that sets a time and space to collectively integrate and share hunches, to experiment with them and to ultimately operationalize them in designerly or scientific manners? In this paper, we introduce and discuss our experience with Atlas Poliphilo, an experimental studio that runs its second iteration during the spring semester 2019. Neither a design studio nor a seminar, the Atlas sets up a framework for collaborative enquiry that further elaborates on them. The course gathers students from civil and environmental engineering together with students of architecture, and landscape architecture to work collaboratively for one semester. This experience is framed in our work on new visions for the trans-border Greater Geneva as one of the selected teams aiming at tackling its current social, economic and environmental challenges and constructing a framework to think and discuss its growth in the next 35 years.This interdisciplinary course addresses an alternative of perceiving and integrating the constitutive complexity of the territory and the intertwined trajectories of all its different agents. Departing from the situated experiences of the students within a given site of exploration, the course aims at carefully unfolding their many dimensions – the relational and performative aspects of involvement, bodily experience, environmental context and objects, individual and collective cultural frames – allowing to experiment with them and to render them explicit. This is grounded on the conviction that an ability to affect is reciprocated by a capacity of being affected.

Abstract:
Most construction projects rely on crawler cranes to perform lifting and hoisting activities. In practice, crawler cranes are managed based on demand, urgency, and prioritized work tasks that must be performed within a set period of time in the field. A lifting plan is needed to make. While presently the lifting plan is made based on the conventional manners of manual computation and 2D drawings, so that much time is spent examining load charts, making drawings and planning lifts before starting a lifting job; moreover, a vivid 3D lifting simulation of the cranes lifting is not available, which can not meet the lifting requirements of swiftness and high-efficiency for large and complicated lifting. As a computer tool, simulation has proved to be effective in modeling complex construction operations and can be a substantial help in aiding practitioners in construction planning. However, the use of simulation has fallen far below its maximum potential due to a lack of appropriate support tools which would allow construction managers to use simulation tools for themselves. Therefore, a 3D virtual lifting system, based on a 3D engine SR and oriented to lifting industry, is developed here. This system integrates computation, finite element analysis (FEA), creation of job environments, creation of equipments and 3D lifting simulations. The integrated system is a mean that enable domain experts, who are knowledgeable in give domains but not familiar with simulation, to easily model operations within their domain and analyze the simulation results, and aid them to make lifting plans. Firstly the architecture of the simulation system is proposed, whose basic functions are depicted. Then the modelings of cranes and their operations are presented. Finally the integration of FEA are introduced in this paper. The simulation system is tested through some practical cases. This paper demonstrates that the simulation system is helpful in verification and validation of simulation thus improving the accessibility of simulation as a lifting plan making aid.
