Architectural taste and patronage in Newcastle upon Tyne, 1870-1914Johnson, Michael Andrew January 2009 (has links)
This thesis examines architectural taste and patronage in Newcastle upon Tyne between 1870 and 1914. During this period, the city experienced dramatic expansion as the wealth generated in industry, finance and retail was channelled into commercial and public architecture. The overall aim is to determine whether Newcastle formed a distinctive architectural culture. Newcastle's economic and social profile gave rise to specific patterns of taste and patronage. The thesis explores the cultural networks that shaped the built form of the city, arguing that architectural patronage in Newcastle was dominated by a cultural oligarchy. This group formed an 'architectural culture', a relatively self-contained community in which particular styles and architects were favoured above others. Newcastle was a major centre of industry, finance and retail, and played a significant role in the national economy. The thesis seeks to reposition Newcastle within the context of the dynamic forces that were reshaping Britain's built environment. As the period progressed, the distinctive patterns of taste and patronage within the city were eroded by the increasingly national economy, the influence of the metropolis and the more active role played by the centralised state. The thesis relates the architectural culture under study to the national mainstream, thus shedding light on the relationship between provincial architecture and the metropolis. The thesis employs a range of methodological strategies in order to bring the different facets of architecture into focus. With clearly defined geographical and temporal boundaries, it seeks to clarify the economic, social and cultural factors that underpin architectural production, thus offering a new insight into architectural patronage.

The transition of Chinese architectural direction conception in early periods of Western Han dynasty. / 西漢早期建築方向觀念的轉變研究 / Xi Han zao qi jian zhu fang xiang guan nian de zhuan bian yan jiuJanuary 2013 (has links)
對建築方向觀念的關注并將其與日常的營造活動緊密聯繫起來是中國傳統建築的重要特徵之一。建築方向觀念對於建築造型、功能佈局乃至空間使用都有深遠的影響。這些影響甚至轉化成為匠人門所恪守的一系列與之相關的建築營造原則。一般而言,特定地域、特定時期對於建築方向觀念在建築營造中的應用會產生一種較為流行的空間格局,而隨著建築方向觀念的轉變,流行的空間格局則又會隨之而變。對建築方向觀念轉變的忽視往往造成對建築空間模式的誤解,尤其是西漢早期的相關轉變,對建築空間模式的當代認識產生了巨大的障礙。劉敦楨先生甚至對這一時期皇居的空間模式稱之為“開數千年未有之例(劉敦楨《大壯室筆記》)。因此,本研究試圖探尋這種因建築方向觀念轉變而形成的空間模式,并進一步探討建築方向觀念對於傳統建築營造的影響機理和表現。 / 本論文選擇位於帝國都城以及諸侯國都城的皇家建設作為切入點,從地下世界的建構與現實生活世界的建設兩個大方面來探討建築方向觀念,即關注皇家陰宅與陽宅的建築方向觀念。對於地下世界的建構而言,論文又進一步分成皇帝陵寢以及諸侯王陵寢兩章來敘述。本論文整體上通過標示功能空間單元所形成的核心圖式以及其間一條從朝至寢的路徑作為建築方向觀念的信號,來繪製各種空間的建築方向圖式,并由此對三種不同尺度的空間進行比較分析。最后發現,從時間上和地域空間上存在一種普遍的建築方向觀念同步轉變的現象和潮流。 / 論文結論部份,進一步探討了影響西漢早期建築方向觀念轉變的相關因素和動機,并從方法論角度總結了建築方向觀念研究作為建築空間觀念研究的一個重要部份的兩個方面,即作為建築實體存在的意義表述方面以及作為空間認識的人的意圖方面來探討空間觀念研究的兩個方面。論文選擇建築方向觀念作為視角,通過對這一分析和設計工具的揭示,以期助益於中國建築空間的更深入的理解、使用、設計和營造,從而回應了凱文林奇城市意象的五要素表達以及諾伯格舒爾茨建築意義闡述在中國語境下的結合點。 / The emphasis on architectural direction conception in daily construction practices in ancient china was one of the most critical features of Chinese traditional architecture. It had almost penetrated into all aspects of the space constructions such as the constructions of architectural forms, the functional spaces and the using of the spaces. It gradually transformed to architectural principles followed by craftsmen. Generally speaking, the application of such architectural direction conception into constructions led to a prevalent space pattern by emphasizing particular direction and position in different periods and regions and the changing of such architectural direction conception also lead to the transition of the space pattern. Particularly, in the early periods of Western Han dynasty there was a drastic process of change which blurred the understanding of the space patterns. Such space patterns caused by the architectural direction conception transition were even classified as “special cases out of thousands years’ tradition (Liu Dunzhen, 1982, p.146). Therefore, this study attempts to explore the transition of space patterns by examining the transition of the architectural direction conception and further discuss the mechanism how architectural direction conception impacted on spatial constructions. / This thesis selects the royal constructions in the capital city of both empire and kingdoms as breakpoint and divides the examination of the architectural direction conception as two parts: the underground world and the living world. The underground world is further divided into two chapters: the emperor’s mausoleums and the kings’ mausoleums. With the help of the signals of architectural direction conception by marking the functional units and the path from the court to residential area, the comparison of these different scales of the spaces show a phenomenon of synchronized and relatively transition process of architectural direction conception. / In conclusion, this research further discusses the factors and motivations that impacted on the transition of the architectural direction conceptions and the methods adopted in this research as both analytical and design tool to understanding, constructing and using Chinese architectural space. This method responses to the theory of the image of a city through five elements by Kenvin Lynch and the interpretation of the meanings of western architecture by Norberg-Schulz in Chinese context. /

Historic farm structures as material culture : an Oregon studyJudge, Barbara C. 22 January 1993 (has links)
The thesis is a case study of two traditional family farms that were settled in
Oregon in 1850 and 1915. The study embraces the theory that material culture
reflects customs and values. The material culture indicators within the study are the
architectural structures of the Oregon farms. The study filters the architecture
through theoretical and historical data of both Oregon and the Upland South. The
farms are recorded with oral history, photographs, architectural descriptions, and
evolutionary settlement patterns. The filtering process results in two constructs that
correlate the commonalities of both the Oregon farms and the Upland South
architecture. The results point out that, with the disappearance of vernacular
architecture on family farms, it follows that historic traditional cultures vanish. / Graduation date: 1993

From forest to fairway : hull analysis of 'La belle', a late seventeenth-century French shipCarrell, Toni L. January 2003 (has links)
This thesis is a comprehensive analysis of the hull remains of La Belle, a ship wrecked off the coast of Texas in 1684 during the failed attempt by Robert Cavelier Sieur de La Salle to establish a colony at the mouth of the Mississippi River. The analysis of La Belle's hull focused on five research goals. The first was to reconstruct the conception and design of the hull. Because La Belle was built on France's Atlantic coast, it was expected that the ship would fit into Atlantic traditions of shipbuilding. Instead, it exhibits an ancient Mediterranean method known only from Renaissance manuscripts. Until La Belle's discovery no archaeological example associated with this method had been identified. Reconstruction of the lines also revealed the unexpected use of surmarks that reflect a transition from a largely empirical approach to the architecturally-based ship plan. The second goal was the documentation of a previously unstudied ship type, the barque longue, through an analysis and description of the hull's assembly and its comparison to contemporary shipbuilding practices. The third goal was an analysis of newly discovered registries, letters, and documents specific to La Belle that raised fundamental questions regarding the ship's genesis and typological identification. The fourth goal was species identification of the timbers to provide a more detailed picture of forest exploitation and to identify whether Old or New World timbers were used in the repairs noted in the hull. The fifth goal was to obtain information on the origin of the wood through dendrochronological analysis. That analysis raised unexpected questions regarding dating and the possibility of re-use of whole frame sets. Because there are no other investigated late 17th-century shipwreck sites from the Rochefort region with species and dendrochronology data, La Belle has provided a benchmark for these two analyses. These five research foci provide a unique picture of late 17th-century shipbuilding in French Atlantic shipyards and contribute to the study of hull design, ship typology, construction and assembly, wood species use and origin, dendrochronological dating, and timber reuse.
