They represent an extreme of European architectural history, occupying a position where architecture and sculpture cannot be sharply distinguished any longer. The alien-looking creations represented in this book have their origins in a particular historic situation: the emergence of firearms in the 14th century and their spread in the 15th century had shifted the balance of warfare in favour of the attacking side, against which the defensive structure had not yet found a remedy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fritz Barth,Olaf Metzel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3936681422\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783936681420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Axel Menges\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/16\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.20h x 8.50w x 0.70d","brand":"Fritz Barth","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48448044040447,"sku":"9783936681420","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8c05c64c-d26c-4ba9-8bf9-f12c36100129.jpg?v=1777236516","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/zeichen-des-wehrhaftenmartial-signifiers-fritz-barth-9783936681420","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
