When Abbot Laurence, of Westminster, looked out to the northward or north-eastward, he could see no landas far as the wall of Londonwhich did not belong to him and his house. This was the Abbot who first had leave to assume the mitre, and in 1163 he obtained from Pope Alexander II. the canonisation of Edward the Confessor. When worshippers wished to kneel at the new saints shrine they had to reach Westminster as best they could. Some, especially those who lived at Charing, or further up the hill, in what was afterwards Hedge Lane, would make their way to the Thames, the best highway in those days. In some seasons, perhaps, the water-courses, which had their origin in the Tyburn, might be dry enough to let them pass, but there were as yet no regular roads and no bridges. One of these water-courses supplied the Abbey, and one ran out where Richmond Terrace is now. We have two documents from which to draw a picture of the ground which was not yet Whitehall. First, we have the evidence afforded by the geographical features of the locality; and, secondly, we have the report of a trial which took place some sixty years ago, when, no doubt, all possible charters and grants and leases and demises were cited

In The Stones of Venice, John Ruskin explores the intricate relationship between architecture, society, and morality, presenting a comprehensive critique of Venetian Gothic architecture. Through rich descriptions and detailed illustrations, Ruskin examines the aesthetic principles underlying the citys edifices and their cultural significance. The book stands as a manifesto for the importance of craftsmanship and beauty in architecture, juxtaposing the splendor of Venice with the emerging industrial practices of his time. Written in a highly ornate and poetic style, RuskinAos work transcends mere architectural criticism, delving into philosophical reflections on art and its moral implications, thus rooting the narrative firmly within the Victorian context of art appreciation and social critique. John Ruskin (1819-1900), a prominent art critic, social thinker, and leading figure of the Victorian era, was deeply influenced by his experiences in Venice and his passion for art. His travels in Italy profoundly impacted his understanding of aesthetic beauty and its alignment with ethical living. Ruskins advocacy for the Arts and Crafts movement, along with his fierce resistance to industrialization and mass production, is contextualized through this work, which serves not only as a celebration of Venices architectural grandeur but also as a cautionary tale against the loss of artistry in the modern world. Readers seeking a deeper understanding of the intersection between art, architecture, and morality will find The Stones of Venice an indispensable text. It invites reflection on the broader human experience and underscores the significance of preserving beauty in our environments. In a world increasingly dominated by utilitarianism, RuskinAos stirring prose and passionate arguments make this work not just relevant but essential for anyone interested in arts power to shape society.

In "The Stones of Venice," John Ruskin offers a profound exploration of architecture, art, and the moral underpinnings of society. This multi-volume work deftly combines vivid descriptions, detailed analyses, and historical insights, delving deep into the construction and aesthetics of Venetian architecture as a reflection of cultural values. Ruskin employs an evocative literary style rich in metaphor and symbolism, illuminating how the intricate details of buildings inspire both moral contemplation and societal critique. Its context emerges from the Victorian eras fascination with art and history, against the backdrop of burgeoning industrialization that threatened traditional craftsmanship. John Ruskin, a pivotal figure in the Victorian art movement, was an ardent advocate for craftsmanship and the beauty of nature, deeply influenced by his environmental convictions and a reverence for medieval artistry. His extensive travels in Europe, particularly his admiration for Venice, fueled his belief that architecture is a moral and philosophical reflection of its time. Ruskins commitment to social reform and his concern for the decline of artisan craftsmanship are evident throughout this work, as he seeks to reconnect art with ethical living. Readers seeking a rich, interdisciplinary examination of architecture and its role in society will find "The Stones of Venice" an indispensable tome.

The architecture in Burma represents a mixture of the countrys history, politics, natural assets, religion, and superstition. Despite some recent advances toward modernization, in architectural terms, centuries of relative seclusion have caused this country to remain something of a historical timeline. Burmas resplendent temples, stately colonial edifices, and myriad of structures that comprise innumerable fishing and country villages provide an architectural window into the countrys diverse and oftentimes tumultuous history. The turbulence of the region, punctuated by dynastic squabbles, is perhaps best chronicled and understood by way of its architecture. The escalation of successional quarrels frequently resulted in new rulers packing up entire palaces and other structures and hauling these by elephant to establish a new seat of government or capital elsewhere. The vestiges of the old cities were for the most part simply left to the vicissitudes of nature.

Architectural patronage was crucial for the thinking of Aby Warburg and his circle. In Hamburg the purpose-designed Kulturwissenschaftliche Bibliothek Warburg, completed in 1926, organized Warburgs remarkable library. From 1927 Warburg developed ideas about orientation in the radical transformation of a disused water tower into the Hamburg Planetarium. After the Warburg Institute transferred to London in 1933 this pattern of seminal architectural commissioning continued, including projects designed by the avant-garde practice Tecton during the 1930s, and culminating in the construction of the librarys present home at Woburn Square, Bloomsbury in 1958. Warburg Models: Buildings as Bilderfahrzeuge follows this history, using archive photographs, architectural drawings and a series of architectural models to show how the Warburg scholars projected a connection between their own physical occupancy of architectural space and their shared ideas about intellectual order, cultural survival, and memory.MARI LENDING and TIM ANSTEY are both professors of architectural history at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design. Their continuing archive-based seminar on the relationship between the Warburg Institute and architecture has developed into an exhibition and a book, not least because of the skilled participation of their model-building students.
