Design Workshop Q4 These are the recordings for the City Management Plan Workshop which took place on evenings in June, July and August 2009. Design Workshop Question 4. Facadism and, in particular, pastiche design are often heavily criticised but what role can they play in preserving the character of parts of the city? Please note these are recorded public workshops therefore the answers to the questions do not always follow the question. Some issues raised for discussion are dealt with in more than one workshop. Therefore to hear the full discussion you may wish to listen to the whole workshop recording and/or related topic areas.

19. Baroque Extravaganzas: Rock Tombs, Fountains, and Sanctuaries in Jordan, Lebanon, and Libya Roman Architecture (HSAR 252) Professor Kleiner features the baroque phenomenon in Roman architecture, in which the traditional vocabulary of architecture, consisting of columns and other conventional architectural elements, is manipulated to enliven building façades and inject them with dynamic motion. This baroque trend is often conspicuously ornamental and began to be deployed on the walls of forums and tombs in Italy already in the late first century AD But baroque architecture in Roman antiquity was foremost in the Greek East where high-quality marble and expert marble carvers made it the architectural mode of choice. At Petra in Jordan, tomb chambers were cut into cliffs and elaborate façades carved out of the living rock. The cities of Miletus and Ephesus in Asia Minor were adorned with gates and fountains and libraries and stage buildings that consisted of multi-storied columnar screens. The lecture culminates with the Sanctuary of Jupiter Heliopolit***, a massive temple complex at Baalbek in Lebanon, with Temples of Jupiter and Bacchus in enormous scale and with extreme embellishment, and the Temple of Venus with an undulating lintel that foreshadows the curvilinear flourishes of Francesco Borromini's S. Carlo alle Quattro Fontane in seven***th-century Rome. 00:00 - Chapter 1, Baroque Architecture in the Roman Empire 11:51 - Chapter 2, Exploring Baroque Elements in Italy 23:41 - Chapter 3, Baroque Facadism at Petra 41:39 - Chapter 4, The Baroque in Ancient Asia ...

ArchiTel Archives - Harry Seidler @http://architel.tv Leading Australian and international architect Harry Seidler was known for his strong views on design and on practice. His courage, frequent outspoken sentiments and his reputation for dogma, together with his innovative small and large scale works, have ensured that his reputation will live long after him. He is sadly missed. Harry spoke at the RAIA Challenge of Excellence Conference in March 1992 in Melbourne on "A Design Philosophy...or Fashion", and we recorded the entire illustrated presentation at the time. Harry later lent us his full set of original slides, and we were able to put this presentation together recently from that archival material.
