Early Medieval Architecture as Bearer of Meaning Zusammenfassung

Early Medieval Architecture as Bearer of Meaning Gunter Bandmann

At last available in English, this classic text was originally published in Germany in 1951 and has been continuously in print since then. Gunter Bandmann analyzes the architecture of societies in western Europe up to the twelfth century that aspired to be the heirs to the Roman Empire. He examines the occurrence and recurrence of basic forms not as stylistic evolutions but as meaningful expressions of meta-material content and develops an architectural iconography of symbolic, historical, and aesthetic elements.

Early Medieval Architecture as Bearer of Meaning Bewertungen

Probably the most important contribution to understanding [the] history of architecture... The content of the work is so comprehensive, the author's excursions into related fields shed light onto so many new and surprising relationships, that it is impossible even to enumerate the variety of the historical, aesthetic, and philosophical aspects of the book. -- Paul Zucker Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism It makes a timely, welcome addition to essential library holdings in those areas... Highly recommended. Choice Thanks to Kendall Wallis's careful translation the English-speaking world now has the opportunity to rediscover ideas that have endured for more than half a century. Comitatus
