reviewed Late Baroque and Rococo Architecture - Christian Norberg-Schulz - Hardcover on May 27, 2019(The English review is placed beneath the Russian one)
Ðту книгу Ñ Ñ‡Ð¸Ñ‚Ð°Ð» полгода. Причиной был не только размер книги в 1,000 Ñтраниц, ибо в книге много фотографий, но ÑложноÑÑ‚ÑŒ Ñамого текÑта. Ðвтор не проÑто даёт иÑторичеÑкую Ñправку, но довольно детально опиÑывает техничеÑкие/проектные характериÑтики зданий. Ðти детали зданий мне и на руÑÑком Ñзыке не понÑтны, а тут они ещё к тому же включены в Ñам текÑÑ‚, а не выведены в качеÑтве отдельно раÑположенного текÑта. Однако нужно также признать, что, не ÑÐ¼Ð¾Ñ‚Ñ€Ñ Ð½Ð° ÑложноÑÑ‚ÑŒ текÑта, книга уникальна. Ðто что-то типа Гомбриха только от мира архитектуры (Ñ…Ð¾Ñ‚Ñ Ð¸ в книге Гомбриха приÑутÑтвует архитектура).
Ðвтор начинает Ñ ÐºÐ°Ð¼ÐµÐ½Ð½Ð¾Ð³Ð¾ века и ведёт Ñ‡Ð¸Ñ‚Ð°Ñ‚ÐµÐ»Ñ Ñ‡ÐµÑ€ÐµÐ· вÑе Ñпохи и через вÑе Ñтраны мира. Тем Ñамым у Ñ‡Ð¸Ñ‚Ð°Ñ‚ÐµÐ»Ñ Ð¿Ð¾ÑвлÑетÑÑ Ñ†ÐµÐ»ÑŒÐ½Ð°Ñ ÐºÐ°Ñ€Ñ‚Ð¸Ð½Ð° того, как менÑлаÑÑŒ архитектура во вÑём мире от века к веку и от Ñтраны к Ñтране. К примеру, интереÑным наблюдением будет то, что чем ближе ÑтоÑли города к арабÑкому миру, тем более они ÑтановилиÑÑŒ на них похоже, не менÑÑ Ð¿Ñ€Ð¸ Ñтом Ñвою хриÑтианÑкую оÑнову. Другими Ñловами, архитектура, Ñто не изолированное проектирование поÑтроек, но глобализированное и при Ñтом ÑохранÑет Ñвою идентификацию Ñ ÐºÑƒÐ»ÑŒÑ‚ÑƒÑ€Ð¾Ð¹ и иÑторией.
Итак, как Ñ Ð½Ð°Ð¿Ð¸Ñал выше, автор начинает Ñвою книгу Ñ Ñамых первых поÑтроек, которые были обнаружены археологами, и реконÑтрукции которых можно найти в книге. Ðужно признатьÑÑ, автор довольно подробно пишет о Ñамых первых зданиÑÑ… человечеÑтва и делает Ñто довольно подробно и интереÑно. Дальше иÑÑ‚Ð¾Ñ€Ð¸Ñ Ð°Ñ€Ñ…Ð¸Ñ‚ÐµÐºÑ‚ÑƒÑ€Ñ‹ идёт по давно заданному направлению через МеÑопотамию, Египет, Грецию, ПерÑию и Рим. Отдельно хочу отметить главы про Египет, ÐÑÑирию и Индию. Я мало что знаю про Индию и возможно именно из-за Ñтого Ð¼ÐµÐ½Ñ Ð±Ð¾Ð»ÑŒÑˆÐµ вÑего потрÑÑли древние ÑÐ¾Ð¾Ñ€ÑƒÐ¶ÐµÐ½Ð¸Ñ Ð² Индии, но они дейÑтвительно удивительные и автор довольно подробно опиÑывает архитектуру древней Индии. Ð’ целом, те, кто хорошо знакомы Ñ ÐºÐ½Ð¸Ð³Ð°Ð¼Ð¸ по иÑкуÑÑтву, примерно предÑтавлÑÑŽÑ‚, как выглÑдит книга от Египта, Древней Греции и Рима до Ñредневековых замков и готичеÑких Ñоборов. Да, тут ничего ÑенÑационного не будет, но, тем не менее, автор опиÑывает такое огромное количеÑтво архитектурных Ñооружений, что книга превращаетÑÑ Ð¸ в книгу по иÑтории. ПлюÑ, ÑƒÑ‡Ð¸Ñ‚Ñ‹Ð²Ð°Ñ Ñ€Ð°Ð·Ð¼ÐµÑ€ книги, автор опишет вÑе знаменитые древние ÑÐ¾Ð¾Ñ€ÑƒÐ¶ÐµÐ½Ð¸Ñ Ð² мире, Ð²ÐºÐ»ÑŽÑ‡Ð°Ñ Ð¸ два роÑÑийÑких ÑÐ²Ð»ÐµÐ½Ð¸Ñ (моÑковÑкий анÑамбль КремлÑ, а также Ñтиль куполов церквей, который обозначаетÑÑ ÐºÐ°Ðº луковицы). Тем не менее, оÑновное внимание будет уделено архитектуре раÑположенной на европейÑком континенте, а также в МеÑопотамии и Индии.
Ближе к концу книги, Ñ‚.е. опиÑÑ‹Ð²Ð°Ñ 19 век, автор включит в Ñтот ÑпиÑок и СШÐ. Лично мне показалоÑÑŒ, что автор уделил мало Ð²Ð½Ð¸Ð¼Ð°Ð½Ð¸Ñ Ð¯Ð¿Ð¾Ð½Ð¸Ð¸. Возможно, Ñто ÑвÑзанно Ñ Ñ‚ÐµÐ¼, что мало что ÑохранилоÑÑŒ Ñ Ñ‚ÐµÑ… времён.
Ð’ любом Ñлучаи, книга опиÑывает не только вÑе оÑновные ÑÐ¾Ð¾Ñ€ÑƒÐ¶ÐµÐ½Ð¸Ñ Ð² мире, но также упоминает о Ñамых извеÑтных Ñовременных ÑооружениÑÑ… по вÑему миру, Ñ‚.е. приÑÑ‚ÑƒÐ¿Ð°Ñ Ðº опиÑанию Ñовременной архитектуры, автор поÑтаралÑÑ Ð¾Ñ‚Ñ€Ð°Ð·Ð¸Ñ‚ÑŒ вÑÑŽ палитру вариантов на вÑех континентах.
Вторым важным моментом книги ÑвлÑетÑÑ Ñ‚ÐµÑ…Ð½Ð¸Ñ‡ÐµÑкие детали, которые ÑопутÑтвуют текÑту и о которых Ñ ÑƒÐ¿Ð¾Ð¼Ñнул в Ñамом начале. Т.е. как ÑоединÑлиÑÑŒ те или иные чаÑти Ñтроение, креплениÑ, из какого материала было Ñоздано Ñтроение и вÑе оÑтальные важные, но профеÑÑионально направленные детали, которые будут понÑтны и интереÑны ÑпециалиÑтам или людÑм, учащимÑÑ Ð½Ð° архитектурном факультете. И Ñта чаÑÑ‚ÑŒ книги мне была Ñкучна, не интереÑна и Ñильно замедлÑло чтение. Ð”Ð»Ñ Ð¼ÐµÐ½Ñ Ñто Ñтало главным недоÑтатком книги. Ð’ оÑтальном же книга уникальна и будет отличным вариантом Ð´Ð»Ñ Ð·Ð½Ð°ÐºÐ¾Ð¼Ñтва Ñ Ð¼Ð¸Ñ€Ð¾Ð²Ð¾Ð¹ архитектурой. Да, Ñто лишь знакомÑтво Ñ ÐºÐ°Ð¶Ð´Ñ‹Ð¼ отдельным направлением, ибо невозможно напиÑать полную и вÑеÑтороннюю книгу на тему мировой архитектуры. ПоÑтому Ñта книга, прежде вÑего, знакомит Ñ‡Ð¸Ñ‚Ð°Ñ‚ÐµÐ»Ñ Ñ Ð¾Ð±Ñ‰ÐµÐ¹ картиной, опиÑÑ‹Ð²Ð°Ñ Ð¾Ñновные Ñтили, Ð½Ð°Ð¿Ñ€Ð°Ð²Ð»ÐµÐ½Ð¸Ñ Ð¸ ÑтроениÑ. За более детальной информацией необходимо будет обратитьÑÑ Ðº Ñпециализированной литературе. Ведь на тему архитектуры Индии можно напиÑать не одну книгу. Да и ÑÐ¾Ð²Ñ€ÐµÐ¼ÐµÐ½Ð½Ð°Ñ Ð°Ñ€Ñ…Ð¸Ñ‚ÐµÐºÑ‚ÑƒÑ€Ð° предлагаем множеÑтво разнообразнейших Ñтилей.
И поÑледнее. Книга показывает, наÑколько Ñложна архитектура не только в плане ÑÐ¾Ð·Ð´Ð°Ð½Ð¸Ñ ÐºÐ¾Ð½Ñтрукции, но в плане ÑÐ¾Ð·Ð´Ð°Ð½Ð¸Ñ ÐºÐ¾Ð½Ñ†ÐµÐ¿Ñ‚Ð°. И что за Ñтроением может ÑкрыватьÑÑ Ð½Ðµ проÑто здание, а целое видение мира.
It took me six months to read this book. The reason was not only the size of the book of 1,000 pages, because the book has a lot of pictures, but the complexity of the text itself. The author does not just give historical information but describes the technical/design characteristics of the buildings in detail. These details of the buildings are not clear to me even in Russian, and here they are also included in the text itself, rather than displayed as a separate text. However, I must also admit that, despite the complexity of the text, the book is unique. It is something like Gombrich's from the world of architecture (although there is also architecture in Gombrich's book).
The author begins with the Stone Age and leads the reader through all eras and through all countries of the world. This gives the reader a complete picture of how architecture has changed around the world from century to century and from country to country. For example, an interesting observation is that the closer the cities stood to the Arab world, the more they became similar to them without changing their Christian basis. In other words, architecture is not an isolated design of buildings but is globalized and yet retains its identification with culture and history.
So, as I wrote above, the author begins his book with the very first structures that have been discovered by archaeologists, and whose reconstructions can be found in the book. It must be admitted that the author writes quite extensively about the earliest buildings of mankind, and does so in some detail and interestingly. Further, the history of architecture goes in a long-established direction through Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, Persia, and Rome. I would like to mention the chapters on Egypt, Assyria, and India. I don't know much about India, and maybe that's why I was most impressed by the ancient structures in India, but they are really amazing and the author describes the architecture of ancient India in great detail. In general, those who are familiar with art books have a rough idea of what the book looks like from Egypt, Ancient Greece, and Rome to medieval castles and Gothic cathedrals. Yes, there won't be anything sensational here, but nevertheless, the author describes so many architectural structures that the book turns into a history book as well. Plus, given the size of the book, the author will describe all the famous ancient constructions in the world, including two Russian phenomena (the Moscow Kremlin ensemble, as well as the style of the domes of churches, which is designated as onions). However, the focus will be on architecture located on the European continent as well as in Mesopotamia and India.
Toward the end of the book, i.e., the 19th century, the author will add the United States to the list. Personally, I felt that the author paid little attention to Japan. Perhaps this is due to the fact that not much has survived from those times.
In any case, the book describes not only all the major structures in the world but also mentions the most famous modern buildings around the world, that is, coming to the description of modern architecture, the author has tried to reflect the whole palette of options on all continents.
The second important point of the book is the technical details that accompany the text, which I mentioned at the beginning. That is, how these or other parts of the structure were connected, fixtures, what material was used to create the structure, and all other important but professionally-oriented details that will be understandable and interesting to specialists or people studying at the Faculty of Architecture. And this part of the book was boring to me, not interesting, and slowed me down a lot. For me, this was the main drawback of the book. Otherwise, the book is unique and will be an excellent option for an introduction to world architecture. Yes, it is only an introduction to each particular movement because it is impossible to write a complete and comprehensive book on the subject of world architecture. Therefore, this book, first of all, acquaints the reader with the general picture by describing the main styles, directions, and structures. For more detailed information it will be necessary to refer to specialized literature. After all, more than one book could be written on the subject of Indian architecture. Even modern architecture offers a great variety of styles.
One last thing. The book shows how complex architecture is, not only in terms of construction but in terms of concept creation, that a structure can mean not just a building but a whole vision of the world.

reviewed Late Baroque and Rococo Architecture - Christian Norberg-Schulz - Hardcover on February 21, 2010Full disclosure: this was a book to skim, not read. I imagine it was created as a college textbook, with all that implies. Anyway, I enjoyed seeing the evolution of medieval stone villages to Florentine palaces to Turkish mosques. Buildings are fascinating things, and as varied as the imaginations of their creators (as well as the treasuries of their commissioners). Good browsing material here, thanks largely to the intriguing photos and drawings.
