The Routledge Companion to Architectural Drawings and Models From Translating to Archiving Collecting and Displaying

The Routledge Companion to Architectural Drawings and Models From Translating to Archiving Collecting and Displaying

Architectural drawings and models are instruments of imagination communication and historical continuity. The role of drawings and models and their ownership placement and authorship in a ubiquitous digital age deserve careful consideration. Expanding on the well-established discussion of the translation from drawings to buildings this book fills a lacuna in current scholarship questioning the significance of the lives of drawings and models after construction. Including emerging well-known and world-renowned scholars in the fields of architectural history and theory and curatorial practices the thirty-five contributions define recent research in four key areas: drawing sites/sites of knowledge construction: drawing office construction site; the afterlife of drawings and models: archiving collecting displaying and exhibiting; tools of making: architectural representations and their apparatus over time; and the ethical responsibilities of collecting and archiving: authorship ownership copyrights and rights to copy. The research covers a wide range of geographies and delves into the practices of such architects as Sir John Soane Superstudio Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc Frank Lloyd Wright Wajiro Kon Germán Samper Gnecco A+PS Mies van der Rohe and Renzo Piano. | The Routledge Companion to Architectural Drawings and Models From Translating to Archiving Collecting and Displaying

Robert Southey The Life of Wesley; and the Rise and Progress of Methodism

Robert Southey The Life of Wesley; and the Rise and Progress of Methodism

The Life of Wesley was one of Southey’s most influential and bestselling works. It was the first biography of John Wesley – the major figure in the largest religious movement of the eighteenth century – to be published by anyone beyond the Methodist community. In addition it was a major history of the rise of a phenomenon that Southey and many others saw as a defining sign of contemporary history – the rise of sectarianism and of religious cults. This two-volume edition will represent the full text of the 1820 edition. It will include a comprehensive critical apparatus that will make sense of the major issues posed by the text and how it contributes to studies of both Southey and Romanticism. The edition will feature a critical and contextual introduction which will set out the origins and composition of the text together with its publication history as well as offer a carefully considered view of the interplay between the Life and other biographies of Wesley and accounts of Methodism bringing into view the wide array of sources and influences Southey drew from. It will also examine the book’s reception history incorporating material from reviews of the period and detailing the controversy it caused in the Methodist community. | Robert Southey The Life of Wesley; and the Rise and Progress of Methodism
