Search Architecture Architecture in Russia: Kizhi Russia's wooden churches often perched on hilltops, overlooking the forests and villages. Although the walls were crudely constructed of roughhewn logs, the roofs were often complex. Onion shaped domes, symbolizing heaven in the Russian Orthodox tradition, were covered with wooden shingles. The onion domes reflected Byzantine design ideas and were strictly decorative. They were constructed of wood framing and served no structural function. Located at the northern end of Lake Onega near St. Petersburg, the island of Kizhi (also spelled "Kishi" or "Kiszhi") is famous for its remarkable array of wooden churches. Early mention of the Kizhi settlements are found in chronicles from the 14th and 15th century. In 1960, Kizhi became home to an open-air museum for the preservation of Russia's wooden architecture. Restoration work was supervised by the Russian architect, Dr. A. Opolovnikov. Introduction

     Extractions: References Early Ages (IX-XV) The political organization of tribes (Slavic, Lithuanian) living on the territory of current Belarus has started around VII-VIII c. The first cities appeared in IX-X cc as castles and fortresses that were built to protect nearby population from the military invasions. Most of the towns have appeared in the North, North-Western part of Belarus: Polacak Viciebsk , Lukoml', Miensk , Ors^a, Druck, Zaslaue , Lahoisk, Braslau , S^klou, Navahrudak Vaukavysk . Turau was the only big town in the South at that time. The number of towns has grown sharply during XI-XII cc. owing to development of crafts and economy. Most of the towns were founded on the banks of the rivers or lakes. On one hand it allowed easier transportation by boats. On another hand this made castles less accessible and was a strategic military advantage. More than 40 towns has emerged in Belarusian lands during IX-XIII cc. In the North towns were emerging mainly as fortresses whose primary function was to protect surrounding population against military dangers. In the swampy and almost impenetrable South towns were appearing mostly as the centers of trade, craftsmanship and service of the population of surrounding lands (except Turau and

     http://www.geographia.com/russia/rusart01.htm
     
     Extractions: F rom icons and onion domes to suprematism and the Stalin baroque, Russian art and architecture seems to many visitors to Russia to be a rather baffling array of exotic forms and alien sensibilities. Without any sense of the rich tradition of Russian culture, an appreciation of the country's enormous artistic wealth becomes a game of historical anecdote"the church where so-and-so took refuge from what's-his-name"or a meaningless collection of aesthetic baubles"I like the blue domes the best." In fact, Russian art and architecture are not nearly so difficult to understand as many people think, and knowing even a little bit about why they look the way they do and what they mean brings to life the culture and personality of the entire country. Icons The best collections of icons are to be found in the Tretyakov Gallery and the Russian Museum, though of course many Russian churches have preserved or restored their traditional works. The Great Experiment The rising influence of European culture in Russia during the 17th and 18th centuries brought Russian artwork closer to the familiar traditions of western painting. It wasn't until the end of the 19th century that the next great body of uniquely Russian artistic styles arose, having developed in conjunction with liberal forces of social reform. This modern movement took many different directions almost from its inception, and it would be impossible to describe all of them. However, even a very general acquaintance with their common ideas and interests makes their work much more accessible.

     http://www.cr.nps.gov/nr/travel/charleston/architecture.htm
     
     Extractions: During the Colonial era the prevailing architecture was English Georgian, which was founded securely on the work of the late Italian Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio, as interpreted by Indigo Jones and subsequent English architects. In church building, the translation of Palladio's influence came through the designs of Christopher Wren and James Gibbs. Although South Carolina's religious freedom (for all non-Catholics) attracted many Dissenters, the Church of England was the established church after 1706. Even before that, the '"English Church" was dominant> and ' its houses of worship were public buildings. The first structure of St. Philip's Church, the first Anglican parish, was erected in 1681-82 at the southeast comer of the Meeting and Broad Streets, the site now occupied by St. Michael's Church

     Extractions: THE ARCHITECTURE OF SAMOGITIAN WOODEN CHURCHES Wooden period should be distinguished in the history of Samogitian wooden churches from oldest times to 1918: The Samogitians were christened in 1414. As early as in 1416 Vytautas Magnus initiated the construction of the first eight churches. Up to the 18th century the work was slow: in the second half of the 16th century the development of sacred architecture was hindered by Protestantism and in the 17th century - by the wars with Moscow and Sweden. The historical documents testify that the Samogitian wooden churches were rectangular, with two small towers on the roofs and a sacristy on the right side. The churches inside space was divided only by a beam with a crucifix.

     unlikely that many other Mennonite churches in America, or even in the world, could match the quantity of their output of writings on Mennonite architecture.  
     http://www.goshen.edu/mqr/pastissues/apr99sprung.html
     
     Extractions: KEITH L. SPRUNGER Abstract The Mennonites absorbed the structure with amazingly few changes, retaining the organ, altar, cross, double pulpits and stained glass. The splendid stained-glass windows caused a few Mennonite hearts to flutter-should they be removed? One visiting church dignitary slipped into his prayers a warning about ostentatious windows, but by then the people had come to love them and they pretended not to hear. Pastor A. J. Stoll on various occasions preached sermons to help the congregation interpret and appreciate the symbolic beauty of the building and its windows. As he explained it, these symbols (such as the stained-glass cross, dove, sheaves of grain, crown and stars, grapes and the bleeding pelican) were not strictly Episcopalian or Mennonite but belonged to the Christian church as a whole. Moreover, in accepting this building they had accepted trusteeship of "probably the most cherished building in town. It could be the most valuable church." Stoll's leadership helped the congregation to see how Mennonites belonged to the larger Christian movement. To this day, the Casselton Mennonite Church worships with satisfaction in its Mennonite-Episcopalian temple. The building is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, thus joining a very select group of Mennonite churches to be accorded this honor.

     Extractions: [Regions of Italy] E T hat was my first Italian church, and though I remember not one detail about the style, the frescoes, the altarpiece, the flooring or the paintings, I will never forget the experience. In this respect, the little Calabrian chapel taught me one of the most invaluable lessons of my life: no matter how illustrious a place of worship is, how rich its sponsors were, how renowned its artists were, it really exists for the worshippers. As tourists we are always intruders unless we remember this special equilibrium. If we do, all the splendid works of art will suddenly make sense. We will share the emotions of the artists and the humble parishioners and we will become part of the unique experience that is the majestic Italian church. k.j.

     Extractions: Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... G > Gothic Architecture A B C D ... Z The term Gothic was first used during the later Renaissance , and as a term of contempt. Says Vasari, "Then arose new architects who after the manner of their barbarous nations erected buildings in that style which we call Gothic", while Evelyn but expresses the mental attitude of his own time when he writes, "The ancient Greek and Roman architecture answered all the perfections required in a faultless and accomplished building" but the Goths and Vandals destroyed these and "introduced in their stead a certain fantastical and licentious manner of building: congestions of heavy, dark, melancholy, monkish piles, without any just proportion, use or beauty." For the first time, an attempt was made to destroy an instinctive and, so far as Europe was concerned, an almost universal form of art, and to substitute in its place another built up by artificial rules and premeditated theories; it was necessary, therefore, that the ground should be cleared of a once luxuriant growth that still showed signs of vitality, and to effect this the schools of Vignola Palladio , and Wren were compelled to throw scorn on the art they were determined to discredit. As ignorant of the true habitat of the style as they were of its nature, the Italians of the
