Il s’intéresse aussi à la réception ultérieure des architectures et décors fictifs antiques et médiévaux. La première partie, « « La ville et ses monuments : fiction et mémoire », est centrée sur l’image de la ville entre modèle idéal vitruvien ou modèle mythique virgilien et imaginaire de l’espace urbain. La deuxième partie, « Architecture et décor : poétiques de la description », permet de voir qu’à travers la pratique, artistique ou littéraire, des architectures et des décors fictifs, il y a toute une poétique des rapports entre espace réel et espace fictif, entre mémoire et création. La troisième, « La représentation architecturale : entre espace fictif et espace allégorique », a pour sujet la notion d’espace symbolique, du « temple » allégorique vitruvien de l’architecture aux allégories du temple de l’âme et à la Jérusalem céleste, et de l’Antiquité à l’époque romantique.

Summary:
This book is the first devoted to the important innovations in architecture that took place in western Europe between the death of emperor Justinian in A.D. 565 and the tenth century. During this period of transition from Late Antiquity to the Middle Ages, the Early Christian basilica was transformed in both form and function. Charles B. McClendon draws on rich documentary evidence and archaeological data to show that the buildings of these three centuries, studied in isolation but rarely together, set substantial precedents for the future of medieval architecture. He looks at buildings of the so-called Dark Ages—monuments that reflected a new assimilation of seemingly antithetical “barbarian” and “classical” attitudes toward architecture and its decoration—and at the grand and innovative architecture of the Carolingian Empire. The great Romanesque and Gothic churches of subsequent centuries owe far more to the architectural achievements of the Early Middle Ages than has generally been recognized, the author argues.

Medieval architecture comprises more than the traditional image of Gothic cathedrals and the castles of chivaltry. A great variety of buildings - synagogues, halls, and barns - testifies to the diverse communities and interests in western Europe in the centuries between 1150 and 1550. This book looks at their architecture from an entirely fresh perspective. It shifts the emphasis away from such areas as France towards the creativity of other regions, including central Europe and Spain. It treats the subject thematically, seeking what all buildings, both religious and secular, have in common, and how they reflect the material and spiritual concerns of the people who built and used them. It considers how and why, after four centuries of shaping the landscape and urban patterns of Europe, medieval styles were supereded by classicism.

The diamond vaults of Central Europe are among the most original yet little-known creations of medieval architecture : ceilings so complex that, as their name suggests, they recall the facets of a cut gemstone.

Summary:
The diamond vaults of Central Europe are among the most original yet little-known creations of medieval architecture : ceilings so complex that, as their name suggests, they recall the facets of a cut gemstone. First appearing in 1471 at the palace of Albrechtsburg in Meissen, Germany, they were employed for almost a century in locations as far apart as Gdansk on the Baltic to Bechyne in southern Bohemia (today’s Czech Republic). From a historical point of view, diamond vaults show the continuing vitality of Gothic architecture in Central Europe, at a time when the rediscovery of the classical past in Renaissance Italy was changing the course of building. Architecturally, they offer some of the most impressive examples of geometrical experimentation and versatility in both secular and sacred spaces. But perhaps their greatest appeal is visual. The stark, concave–convex shapes of diamond vaults, with their lyrical play of the effects of light and shade, strike us today as incredibly modern. "Diamond vaults" explores this singular phenomenon. A text by Zoë Opacic explores the vault’s origins, topography, structure and design, as well as function and context, focusing primarily on the Czech Republic, which boasts some of the best examples, and contrasting them with those in Germany and Gdansk. One of the chief aims is to demonstrate the undoubted aesthetic appeal of this form, which has continued to inspire generations of architects.

En tout cas avec l'implosion du monde romain, la ville de l'Antiquité disparaît lentement tandis qu'apparaissent de nouvelles réalités urbaines qui ne se laissent plus circonscrire par le cadre politique et spatial de la cité. Entre les VIIe et Xe siècles, des modèles originaux d'urbanisation se développent, le plus souvent hors du bassin méditerranéen qui fut le berceau de la civitas. Les siècles du « grand progrès » (XIe-début XIVe siècle) sont aussi ceux du développement de nouvelles communautés urbaines. S'y inventent non seulement des manières particulières de travailler, d'habiter et de cohabiter, mais aussi de nouvelles pratiques de gouvernement. Aussi les villes ont-elles peut-être été, dans l'Europe des États monarques que le Moyen Âge lègue à l'époque moderne, les laboratoire des sociétés politiques.
