Ya anticipábamos en la tema 24, dedicada al arte isabelino y plateresco, lo convencional de tla duración de un periodo artístico. A esa convencional división cronológica se le añade la necesidad de reducir a dos temas la arquitectura renacentista española. Ante tamaña dificultad, hemos huido de los caminos habituales, buscando la mejor realización práctica de los temas. De este modo, podemos asegurar una visión completa de la arquitectura renacentista a través de las series 24 y de esta.

Le parcours d'un professeur au Collège de France engagé dans la cité. Penser la ville médiévale à l'échelle du monde. Une réflexion sur la pratique émancipatrice de l'historien. Partant de l'adage médiéval " l'air d de la ville rend libre ", qui rend compte du fait que les hommes s'émancipent des dépendances anciennes par le seul fait qu'ils entrent en ville, Patrick Boucheron retrace le parcours qui l'a mené de l'histoire de la brique, des bâtiments et des places publiques, à celle des pouvoirs, de la mémoire et de l'archipel urbain à l'échelle du monde.

Entendemos por arquitectura barroca un estilo de construcción y decoración característico, que comienza a instalarse en Europa a finales del siglo XVI y perdura sin trascendentales variaciones hasta la segunda mitad del XVIII. El siglo clave, pues, del arte barroco es el XVII. Las fronteras exactas de este modo arquitectónico no pueden determinarse, pues, aunque tradicionalmente venía concediéndose a Lorenzo Bernini la paternidad simbólica del estilo, la historiografía actual descubre antecedentes barrocos en hombres de tanta importancia como Miguel Ángel.

No vamos a tener, a partir de 1920, arquitectos geniales que creen algo impensado, pero sí van a surgir muchos constructores con ganas de reformar lo antiguo y de introducir una nueva sensibilidad estética en la pálida y enfermiza arquitectura española. Como el número de obras y de autores se multiplica por momentos y en la mayoría de los casos falta perspectiva suficiente para valorar la obra de los más recientes, hemos decidido hacer una selección provisional, que en ningún momento pretende ser canónica.

Nos encontramos ante un producto artístico plena­mente oriental. El problema de que los árabes no fueran creadores de formas artísticas propias no resta mérito alguno a su labor. Las soluciones arquitectónicas por ellos adoptadas habían sido empleadas por persas y bizantinos desde muchos siglos atrás, pero lo cierto es que sólo los árabes lograron hacer de este arte un arte universal.

Tras la muerte de Almanzor (1002), los reinos leonés y navarro, a los que pronto se va a unir el castellano, se aprovechan de la mala situación política y militar en que navegaba el califato y avanzan impetuosamente hacia el sur. Es la época de Sancho el Mayor, de Fernando I, de Alfonso VI, reyes que favorecieron ampliamente la entrada de las corrientes culturales francas en sus reinos.

Dentro de los estilos que rodean los últimos años del siglo XIX sólo uno merece la calificación de original: el modernismo catalán, exaltado en la figura de Antonio Gaudí. Esta manifestación va a ser, como es natural, el vértice y piedra de toque de la selección presente. Pero en la misma época construyen en España muchos otros arquitectos representantes de tendencias nacionales o importadas que no podíamos dejar marginados a la hora de presentar una visión completa de la arquitectura española.

In the decades before the First World War, the owners of the nation’s stately homes revelled in a golden age of glory and glamour. Nothing lay beyond their reach in a world where privilege and hedonism went hand-in-hand with duty and honour. This was a time when the ancestral seats of ancient nobility stood side-by-side with the fabulous palaces of Jewish bankers and Indian princes, when dukes and duchesses mixed with aristocratic society hostesses who had learned to dance in the chorus line and self-made millionaires who had been raised in the slums of Manchester and Birmingham.

As an interiors photographer, Penny Wincer found that walking through a stranger’s home, listening to them explaining the history of the space, and the meaning of precious objects, was one of most joyful aspects of her work. And in Home Matters Penny does exactly that, taking us through the houses of 13 artists, designers and writers, inspiring us to reflect on how we want our own homes to feel.

The architecture of Britain is an art gallery all around us. From our streets to squares, through our cities, suburbs and villages, we are surrounded by magnificent buildings of eclectic styles. A Short History of British Architecture is the gripping and untold story of why Britain looks the way it does, from prehistoric Stonehenge to the lofty towers of today.

Every Monument Will Fall offers an urgent reappraisal of how we think about culture, and how to find hope, remembrance and reconciliation in the fragments of an unfinished violent past. Refusing to choose between pulling down every statue, or living in a past that we can never change, the book makes the case for allowing monuments to fall once in a while, even those that are hard to see as monuments, rebuilding a memory culture that is in step with our times.

The books I am proposing to read for you may have a few extraneous sounds and will be imperfectly read and produced. Hopefully, you will excuse any defects, as these old books are quite unlikely to become audiobooks otherwise and still have great value.

Sir Edwin Lutyens (1869-1944) was one of the great architects of the twentieth century. His Edwardian country houses, surrounded by rhapsodic gardens, beguiled clients with their romance and wit. After 1918, the war memorials that he created symbolised a grieving nation's sense of loss. In the new capital of the British Raj, New Delhi, the Viceroy's House or Rashtrapati Bhavan had a footprint bigger than Versailles. His unfinished Liverpool Cathedral would have rivalled St Peter's in Rome.

The theory of architecture implicit in our world today, Christopher Alexander believes, is bankrupt. More and more people are aware that something is deeply wrong. Yet the power of present day ideas is so great that many feel uncomfortable, even afraid, to say openly that they dislike what is happening, because they are afraid to seem foolish, afraid perhaps that they will be laughed at. Now, at last, there is a coherent theory which describes in modern terms an architecture as ancient as human society itself.

Imagine this: stepping into a room where you instantly felt more at ease, where you felt comfortable and connected to tradition and nature. A room that embraced you with its serene energy, a sanctuary from the noise and chaos of the modern world.
