Is it independance from God? Or independance from reason? I agree that the houses of worship in the Bahai faith are beautiful, but it is arrogant to say they are more than the worship centers of other faiths because they are centers of the spiritual community or expressions of humanitarian concerns. These are also functions of the houses of worship of other faiths as well, whether it be a Christian church, a Jewish synagogue, or a Moslem mosque. I know that for thousands of years the cathedrals of Europe have served as sanctuaries for people oppressed by societies of governments. The concept of sanctuary was part of the humanitarian concern built right in to these magnificient timeless structures. Ever since the founding of this country (America) the churches and synagogues and mosques have served as outlets of humanitarian aid. I am sure it is true of other countries as well.

Postmodernism and Other Recent Trends C British North America The British took control of New France in 1763 as a result of the Treaty of Paris, which ended the French and Indian War (1754-1763). The shift to British rule slowly changed the architectural landscape. The British expelled the French from Acadia, renamed it Nova Scotia, and settled it with American colonists who brought their own forms of architecture with them. For example, a two-story house built in 1766 (enlarged 1781) in Liverpool, Nova Scotia, greatly resembled colonial houses in New England. Built for Simeon Perkins, who came from Connecticut, it had an exterior of white clapboard (narrow, overlapping wooden boards), green shutters for the windows, and dormer windows on a pitched roof. This American influence increased in Canada after 1783 with the arrival of British loyalists who were fleeing the newly established United States.

This development covers a period of almost five centuries, beginning with the establishment of Saint Augustine in Florida in 1565, English settlement along the Atlantic Coast in 1585, and Spanish settlement in New Mexico in 1598. Settlers from France, Sweden, The Netherlands, Germany, and other countries arrived in the 1600s. The full history of building in what became the United States reaches back 10,000 years, but European settlers almost universally ignored the many building traditions of Native American peoples. Over the five centuries after European arrival, transplanted European building traditions were gradually reshaped and redefined. They emerged as distinctly American building traditions by the early 19th century. Each of the European colonies in North America developed its own building tradition.

Photo: Deb Holmes 2002 The mid-19th century saw an American fascination with exotic architecture, and forms from other countries Turkish pavilions, Swiss chalets, Chinese pagodas began springing up. The unique American contribution to innovative house shapes was the octagon house, a style made popular by amateur architect Orson Squire Fowler. Fowler extolled the virtues of healthier life-style and economy of his design. Although more than a thousand octagon houses were built, American preference for four-sided dwellings won out. Most of these homes, from grand mansions to humble country Victorians, were built within a decade between roughly 1850 and 1860. The octagonal shape lent itself to various embellishments of style, from Greek Revival, shown in the picture at right, to Georgian, and even Moorish. Rare variations of the style include the circle and hexagon.

From the Book Cover Throughout the early Victorian period American domestic architecture was dominated by the ideas and designs of Andrew Jackson Downing (1815-1852). Downing, who was America's first important landscape architect, was instrumental in establishing a well-styled, efficient, yet low-priced house that offered many features which previously only mansions could provide. His designs were widely spread both by his books and by periodical republication. Downing's most important work was his Architecture of Country Houses (1850), which passed through nine editions by 1866, and served as the style-book for tens, perhaps hundreds of thousands of homes throughout the eastern United States. It contains thirty-four designs for model homes (country house in this context simply meaning a separate house, as opposed to a town house), with elevations, floor plans, and discussion of design, construction, and function. The English country house of the period is the ground style, upon which other styles are overlaid: designs showing Gothic, French, Italian and Elizabethan styles allow the user considerable choice. In many ways these designs form one of the first steps toward the modern house, with avowed emphasis on function and convenience, expression of personality, catholicism of taste, and concord with environment. Decoration, of course, was not frowned upon.

Examples of Catalan Art Nouveau buildings History: The first origins of Art Nouveau architecture in Catalonia are in the new Escola Provincial d'Arquitectura (Provincial Architecture school), created in Barcelona in 1871 and leaded by the architect Elies Rogent i Amat (1821-1897). Before the foundation of that school, the tendencies to the Art Nouveau had been present in the works of architects as Josep Domènech i Estapà who, instead of his eclectic orientation and his explicit refuse of Art Nouveau, he mustn't avoid the influences of that style with shapes remembering the Austrian Sezessionstyl. The tendencies to recovery the medieval heritage started by Viollet-le-Duc had been followed in Catalonia, and completed with the exotic Islamic art and other contributions. The role of Domènech i Montaner (1849-1923) was essential to define the "Modernisme arquitectonic" (architectonic Art Nouveau) in Catalonia. His article "En busca d'una arquitectura nacional" (In search of a national architecture), published in the review "La Renaixença", reflexes the way to attempt a modern architecture reflexing the national Catalan character.

We will examine seven houses, in terms of architectural style and the creation of their art collection. Among the houses we will look at are Strawberry Hill, Waddesdon Manor, Osterley Park and Kingston Lacy. Each session will consider one country house and its art collections in detail. We will consider some of the following questions: who built it and why? Has the building been altered over time? Is there an art collection? What does this tell us of the taste and ambitions of the collector? Many of the houses we will study in detail are in the South of England, but reference will be made to houses in other parts of the country. By the end of the course students should be able to: Recognise a variety of the architectural styles Explain the main reasons for the development of the English country house Compare and contrast some of the collections and collectors studied.

Jain Temples Architecture- God in God's own country The distinctive temples are an integral part of the social fabric of the region Temple architecture in Kerala is different from other regions in India. The distinctive structure of the temples is largely dictated by the geography of the region that abounds in forests blessed with bountiful monsoons. The roofs are steep and pointed, and covered with copper sheets. The Kerala roof resembles those found in the Himalayan regions and in East Asia. The shape of the roof is in keeping with the plan of the sanctum below. A circular plan has a conical roof, while a square one plan a pyramidal one. The roof is constructed with wood and is covered with copper plates. Given the perishable nature of the construction materials, most temples seen in Kerala today, have undergone several phases of renovation. The sanctum sanctorum, or Sree Kovil, is surrounded by a cloistered prakaram, pierced at one or more cardinal points by gopuradwara. Directly in fron of the sanctum is a namaskara mandapam. This prakaram also houses subsidiary shrines and its south eastern corner is where the kitchen is located. The mukha mandapam is integrated with the gopura entrance. The balipitham may be located in the mukha mandapam or in the outer courtyard. The outer prakaram or courtyard houses other subshrines, and sometimes a temple tank.

Color was used on wall surfaces for spatial effect or to express moods. A wall might be painted blue as a metaphor for the sky, or yellow to give an effect of sunlight. In the address he gave on receiving the Pritzker Award, he gave an indication of the importance he placed on the intangibles of architecture: "In alarming proportions the following words have disappeared from architectural publications: beauty, inspiration, magic, sorcery, enchantment, and also serenity, mystery, silence, privacy, astonishment.

Vernacular Architecture of the Low Countries Buildings using short wall-ties This page presents information on the vernacular architecture of the Low Countries, especially brick building which were constructed using short-wall anchors (muurankers). This technique was used in many of the colonies of the Netherlands, and also spread around the North Sea and Baltic. Please note that it has not been overhauled since 1999, and thus does not reflect the most recent research, or, necessarily, my current thinking. My html skills have moved on some, too! I am currently researching the meaning of short wall anchors at the Department of Archaeology, University of York, and that does not leave me much time for updating my site. I am using TimeMap software to present the data, and this will be publically available through the Electronic Cultural Atlas when it is complete and checked (eta August 2004). Short wall-ties outside the Low Countries Links to further information on the following will be added in due course. Austria (possibly!)

H@R! : Heritage at Risk VERNACULAR HERITAGE All over Europe it is also a problem of traditional conservation philosophy with its roots in the late 19 th This communist concept was also transferred to other East European countries, to much smaller entities all over the country: in Hungary, for instance, in almost every village one house or farmstead has been restored or reconstructed and converted into a museum of local vernacular traditions, the rest of the houses being available for renewal or changes. Only Bulgaria tried to find a different solution, starting to declare some villages as "museum villages", the most famous example being Koprivstica near Sofia. After moving the population from the settlements all houses were completely renewed, that means reconstructed and the villages were opened for visitors, especially from abroad. As a consequence, the normal life of such vernacular settlements died from the very beginning: after the events of the 1990s, almost all houses in those former museum villages are now owned by people from the big cities, who use them as weekend houses. After the events of 1989, the attitude started to change in the East European countries due to very close contacts with international specialists. But even today, as long as some of the functionars in charge with the protection and conservation of monuments are content with the heritage value of the vernacular, the step forward towards recognition as historic monuments still seems to be very difficult. In Romania, a couple of months ago, a new department for non-listed heritage, that is for vernacular heritage, was created within the Ministry of Culture. Such an initiative has to be considered as very positive, because in most other countries, in Europe, Asia or Latin America, with a rich heritage and several items on the World Heritage List of UNESCO, vernacular heritage is neither protected nor considered worthy to be conserved.

As the Roman Empire slowly disintegrated and faded away, some of its ideas remained in use, and some did not. The peculiar system of numbers, using the symbols I V X C D and M, sometimes in a very strange ordering, is now mainly used in clocks, and when writing dates in special circumstances. But the Roman influence on language is still very strong in Europe and other areas where European based languages are spoken, and will probably continue to persist for hundreds, perhaps thousands of years, even though it was, and is, intangible. Such is the power of ideas, and the need for continuity of communication. Attempts to disrupt this continuity have seldom succeeded. An example was the introduction of new names for the months during the French revolution. France, like many other countries, still uses names with Norse and Roman origins in the distant past. Roman buildings were more obviously durable than words, though in fact more subject to decay: many remain to this day. Even now you can travel on roads that follow Roman alignments, apart from occasional bypasses. You can see great Roman buildings and mighty bridges, along with artistic creations such as statues and mosaics. Wherever the Romans went, they took their building methods with them.

Photographs : Fritz von der Schulenberg. First published : Thames and Hudson, London, 1990. Reviewed by ANDRE BEAUMONT This beautifully presented book on Neoclassical interiors and furniture in Sweden has become the standard English language reference book on the subject. A French version has also been published. There is little other accessible English language material on Swedish Neoclassical buildings. The book is well-written, easy to read and shows real scholarship; some of the grand houses it covers, being in private ownership and inaccessible to the public have not received this level of scrutiny or attention outside Sweden before. It is a good book for the student to begin with to research a different area of Neoclassicism as it sets out facts in a meticulous manner without being judgmental. Its author, Hakan Groth, found that there was no reference work which people could refer to when enquiring about the Gustavian and Empire periods in Sweden. The book is therefore written to give a clear picture of 20 Neoclassical houses to those unfamiliar with Sweden. It has something of the flavour of an excellent guidebook, would serve well as one, and avoids drawing unnecessarily narrow conclusions from the facts which other authors, writing on English Neoclassical subjects, sometimes do.
