References to night in Vitruvius's \u003ci\u003eDe architectura\u003c\/i\u003e are few, and the same absence is notable in Renaissance treatises by Alberti or Palladio. It was not until the 19th and 20th centuries that the invention and institutionalization of artificial light in private and public spaces gradually transformed conceptions of night in the architectural discipline.\u003cbr\u003eThis volume offers the first attempt at a nocturnal history of architecture. What emerges from the studies is the thesis that the identity of human beings--across time and their domestic, professional and cultural spaces--is powerfully determined by the parameters of nighttime. By analyzing and studying \"night scenes,\" this book reveals how the night is a laboratory for the development of new forms of conceptualizing space and, ultimately, of living.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vera Sacchetti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3959056745\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783959056748\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Spector Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/09\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.70h x 8.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Vera Sacchetti","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46070379544831,"sku":"9783959056748","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_85ed9d63-2fef-4924-81be-7b5e1c5982e4.jpg?v=1724243091","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nocturnal-history-of-architecture-vera-sacchetti-9783959056748","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
