Autor Arleen Pabón-Charneco
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 noi 2020

Architecture History, Theory and Preservation critically explores the historic development, theoretical underpinnings and conservation practices of architecture. Complete with 170 full color images, this volume presents architectural and urban examples, from Prehistory to the Middle Ages, chronologically and thematically examining contextual issues that provide each period with distinctive expressions. The special features, structural systems, materials and construction technologies are analyzed, as well as how the international community deals with the task of interpreting and preserving certain historic properties.

This publication provides professors and students of architecture, art history, historic preservation and related fields with an integrated view of architecture using historical, theoretical and conservation perspectives. As an architect, architectural historian and preservationist herself, Dr Pab n-Charneco weaves a field of relationships regarding each building, creating a silent yet empowering bridge between past and present.

Recenzii

"This is a revealing journey throughout the history of architecture from Prehistory to the Middle Ages. Far from a conventional theoretical view, Dr Arleen Pabón-Charneco shares with the readers her comprehensive and profound understanding of the essence and evolution of the human thinking behind the development of the built environment, since the first artifact was built. Understanding the principles and origins of architecture, from this non-linear view of history, will give present and future generations of architects a unique opportunity to learn from architectural precedents by understanding the complexity of humankind aspirations throughout time."
Carlos A. Rubio-Cancela, Architect, Puerto Rico State Historic Preservation Officer
