Architects and artists have always acknowledged over the cen-
turies that Rome is rightly called the »eternal city«. Rome is eternal
above all because it was always young, always »in its prime«. Here
the buildings that defined the West appeared over more than 2000
years, here the history of European architecture was written.
The foundations were laid even in ancient Roman times, when
the first attempts were made to design interiors and thus make
space open to experience as something physical. And at that time
the Roman architects also started to develop building types that
are still valid today, thus creating the cornerstone of later Western
architecture. In it Rome’s primacy remained unbroken – whether
it was with old St. Peter’s as the first medieval basilica or new
St. Peter’s as the building in which Bramante and Michelangelo
developed the High Renaissance, or with works by Bernini and
Borromini whose rich and lucid spatial forms were to shape Ba-
roque as far as Vienna, Bohemia and Lower Franconia. When
Louis Kahn, one of the greats of 20th-century architecture, confes-
sed: »My mind is full of Roman greatness«, this no longer applies
only to those times. For three decades, absolutely central buildings
have been emerging again in the eternal city. From museums to
sacred buildings to large music and event centers: Rome today
has true landmarks of the present day – from Renzo Piano to Jean
Nouvel and Zaha Hadid.
All this is comprehensible only if it is presented historically, i. e.
in chronological sequence, and therefore the guide has not been
arranged topographically as usual but chronologically. This means
that one is not led in random sequence from a Baroque building to
an ancient or a modern one, but the historical development is fol-
lowed successively. Every epoch is preceded by an introduction
that identifies its key features. This produces a continuous, lavish-
ly illustrated history of the architecture of Rome – and thus at the
same time of the whole of the West. Practical handling is guaran-
teed by an alphabetical index and detailed maps, whose informa-
tion does not just immediately illustrate the historical picture, but
also makes it possible to choose a personal route through history.
In order to clarify the historical development, the key buildings of
each period and other major works are especially emphasized
both in the text and on the maps.

About the Author
The authors are a group of art historians who experienced Rome together years ago and then went their separate ways: as an on-the-spot guide, as research scholars at the University of Munich, and at the Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte in Munich and the Bibliotheca Hertziana in Rome.
Stefan Grundman is today professor at the Humboldt-Universität in Berlin.

The Architecture of Rome: Expanded and Revised New Edition 2026
Seller: Bookbot, Prague, Czech Republic
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Softcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Abnutzungen. Architekten und Kunstler haben im Laufe der Jahrhunderte die zeitlose Bedeutung Roms hervorgehoben, das als ,ewige Stadt" gilt. Diese Stadt ist nicht nur ewig, sondern auch immer in ihrer Blute, da sie uber 2000 Jahre hinweg die Geschichte europaischer Architektur gepragt hat. Bereits in der Antike wurden Grundlagen gelegt, als romische Architekten begannen, Innenraume zu gestalten und Gebaudetypen zu entwickeln, die bis heute relevant sind. Roms Einfluss bleibt ungebrochen, sei es durch den alten Petersdom, den neuen Petersdom, oder durch die Werke von Bernini und Borromini, die die Architektur weit uber Rom hinaus pragten. Im 20. Jahrhundert erklarte Louis Kahn, dass sein Geist von romischer Grosse erfullt ist, was auch fur die zeitgenossische Architektur gilt. Rom beherbergt heute bedeutende Bauwerke von renommierten Architekten wie Renzo Piano, Jean Nouvel und Zaha Hadid. Um diese Entwicklung verstandlich zu machen, wird die Architektur Roms chronologisch dargestellt. Jede Epoche wird durch eine Einleitung hervorgehoben, die ihre wichtigsten Merkmale beschreibt. Dies ergibt eine reich illustrierte Geschichte der Architektur Roms und des Westens. Praktische Handhabung wird durch ein alphabetisches Register und detaillierte Karten gewahrleistet, die sowohl das historische Bild verdeutlichen als auch individuelle Erkundungen der Geschichte ermoglichen. Wichtige Gebaude und Werke werden sowohl im Text als auch auf den Karten. Seller Inventory # 379d0e80-1f63-44d7-92eb-ea5bb6f8cba8
