Notes:
"Architects in the 19th century worked in a time of transition -- traditional ideals were furthered, whilst new construction techniques were developed. The interest of architects and archaeologists in surviving built works -- and especially in the Gothic -- was not simply encyclopaedic; they sought to know how individual structures had been built and searched for historical theories. The 'reconstructed' knowledge of older structures was recorded, complemented and improved against the background of contemporary construction techniques, and implemented in designs for new architectures and in the completion and restoration of buildings. In this volume, the connections between the practice of building and the (construction-related) technological theories of the 19th century are discussed along four principal lines: construction in the age of historicism; the challenges of the Neo-Gothic; knowledge of structural behaviour; and the construction techniques of the building site. In addition, a selection of construction drawings from the 19th century are presented with accompanying commentaries."--Jacket.

Summary:

Die Bauten des Historismus entstammen einer bewegten Zeit - alte Ideale wurden wieder aufgegriffen, zeitgleich entstanden neue Bautechniken und Konstruktionsmethoden. So war das Interesse der Architekten und Altertumsforscher zum Beispiel an der Gotik nicht nur ein akademisches, man wollte auch wissen, wie das Ganze konstruiert und das Einzelne gedacht war. Das 'rekonstruierte' Wissen zu den Konstruktionsmethoden wurde festgehalten und vor dem Hintergrund der zeitgenössischen Bautechnik ergänzt und verbessert - erstmals suchte man nach einem systematischen Verständnis des Tragverhaltens und der 'Statik'. Der Band diskutiert folglich die Zusammenhänge zwischen den Praktiken des Bauens und den (bau)technischen Theorien der Zeit in vier Leitthemen: die Bauten des Historismus, das Wissen über das Funktionieren, die technischen Möglichkeiten der Zeit und die Bautechnik auf der Baustelle.
