Oh yes, thanks! I had that on my handwritten list, but missed it. I'll edit the list above to include it, as soon as I confirm the order!would it be an idea to include ‘Moorish Architecture’
That looks super. So long as they're one at a time!How about the following separate threads?
Haven't you hear of Likes?what it the intended purpose of these threads?
Fine. But I like simple classification systems and I'm prepared to force everything to fit!.this post is meant as a challenge for those who like categories.
To keep to keep us all sane until we can get out of our cages!... what it the intended purpose of these threads?
The Mudejar style remained long after the Moors were in Spain. To give an example in Madrid there are quite a few Mudejar buildings from the 19th and 20th century though in this case is called NeoMudejar.It would be a shame to stop at Gothic. Could we continue right up to contemporary architecture? The Spanish Arts website lists periods/styles of Spanish architecture in the following high-level categories
Prehistoric Spanish Architecture / Roman Spanish Architecture / Pre-Romanesque Architecture / Mudejar Style / Romanesque Spanish Architecture / Gothic Spanish Architecture / Renaissance Spanish Architecture / Baroque Spanish Architecture / Colonial Spanish Architecture / Neoclassical Spanish Architecture / 19th Century Spanish Architecture / 20th and 21st Century Spanish Architecture
2. Is it accurate to call Mudejar architecture pre-Romanesque? I think there may be an overlap?
For anyone walking the Primitivo, Asturian pre-romanesque is right on the way and it is beautiful. It is definitely different than Romanesque, but you could give it a shout-out on the current Romanesque thread and consider it done.Pre-Romanesque (is this necessasry)
Thank you for the reference. Fletcher's "A History of Architecture on the Comparative Method" is one of the few textbooks I have kept from way back when. It's long out of print, and copies such as mine are probably worth much more than I paid for it in the college bookstore back in the early 60s. However, it apparently is now in the public domain and Amazon lists what appears to be a scanned copy (perhaps incomplete) for a reasonable price, if anyone is interested.The authority is Sir Bannister Fletcher.
This is a great idea and will enrich our pilgrimages! The divisions you have suggested look very reasonable. Do you intend to do a broad sweep across several Camino routes, or describe the architecture on specific Camino routes?(I would find that very helpful) Thank you so much for expediting this! (Happy memories of exploring some churches with Peregrina2000 on the Camino del Norte! Thanks Laurie!)Now that I seem to be the course planner for architectural studies on the forum, I need to consult with members on how to proceed. Should we go back to the beginning, or move on from Romanesque to Gothic. Since we have camino time on our hands, I suggest going back to earlier times and moving forward. How about the following separate threads?
We will worry about the more recent styles after we do Gothic.
- Prehistorical architectural sites (there must be a few)
- Roman
- Visigothic
- Moorish
- Pre-Romanesque (is this necessasry)
- Romanesque (the subject of this thread)
- Gothic
Are those reasonable divisions? Do I need to add any transitional elements? Remember - this is for beginners! Should we start with prehistory?
[Edited to add Moorish - There seems to be overlap in dates, so someone should confirm if this sequence makes reasonable sense.]
Are those reasonable divisions?
You don't ask much, do you!?Don't care how it is done as long as it covers the whole from prehistory to contemporary. Well done for taking it on.
Yippee!I have made the executive decision to address #2 next. I'll create a new thread for it here.
RABBIT HOLE ALERT!!!if you love Spanish history and buildings I can recommend the website and programs of the Fundacion Santa Maria la Real del Patrimonio Historico
