His account of a man-made lake abundant with fish, a verdant green hill lush with trees, raised walkways, and a plethora of beasts and birds took root in the European imagination as the description of a kind of Eden. Beginning in the sixteenth century, permanent interaction between Europe and China took form, and Jesuit missionaries and travelers recorded in letters and memoirs their admiration of Chinese gardens for their seeming naturalness. In the eighteenth century, European taste for chinoiserie reached its height, and informed observers of the Far East discovered that sophisticated and codified design principles lay behind the apparent simplicity of the Chinese garden. The widespread appreciation of the eighteenth century gave way to rejection in the nineteenth, a result of tensions over practical concerns such as trade imbalances and symbolized by the destruction of the imperial park of Yuanming yuan by a joint Anglo-French military expedition. In Ideas of Chinese Gardens, Bianca Maria Rinaldi has gathered an unparalleled collection of westerners' accounts, many freshly translated and all expertly annotated, as well as images that would have accompanied the texts as they circulated in Europe. Representing a great diversity of materials and literary genres, Rinaldi's book includes more than thirty-five sources that span centuries, countries, languages, occupational biases, and political aims. By providing unmediated firsthand accounts of the testimony of these travelers and expatriates, Rinaldi illustrates how the Chinese garden was progressively lifted out of the realm of fantasy into something that could be compared with, and have an impact on, European traditions. 410 0$aPenn studies in landscape architecture. 606 $aGardens, Chinese$zChina$xHistory$vSources 606 $aGardens$zChina$xHistory$vSources 606 $aLandscape architecture$zChina$xHistory$vSources 606 $aAesthetics, Oriental 606 $aVoyages and travels$xHistory 606 $aTravelers' writings$xHistory 607 $aChina$xDescription and travel$xHistory$vSources 610 $aAfrican Studies. 610 $aArchitecture. 610 $aAsian Studies. 610 $aCultural Studies. 610 $aFine Art. 610 $aGarden History. 610 $aLiterature. 610 $aMiddle Eastern Studies. 615 0$aGardens, Chinese$xHistory 615 0$aGardens$xHistory 615 0$aLandscape architecture$xHistory 615 0$aAesthetics, Oriental. 615 0$aVoyages and travels$xHistory. 615 0$aTravelers' writings$xHistory. 676 $a712/.60951 686 $aLO 89425$qBSZ$2rvk 702 $aRinaldi$b Bianca Maria 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825498403321 996 $aIdeas of Chinese gardens$93923733 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05922nam 22008415 450 001 9910299390803321 005 20200703161625.0 010 $a3-319-76855-7 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-76855-7 035 $a(CKB)4100000004836417 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-76855-7 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5434962 035 $a(PPN)229497381 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000004836417 100 $a20180622d2018 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn|008mamaa 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aAdvances in Indian Earthquake Engineering and Seismology $eContributions in Honour of Jai Krishna /$fedited by M.

A Review of the Response Spectrum Method. 330 $aThis edited volume is an up-to-date guide for students, policy makers and engineers on earthquake engineering, including methods and technologies for seismic hazard detection and mitigation. The book was written in honour of the late Professor Jai Krishna, who was a pioneer in teaching and research in the field of earthquake engineering in India during his decades-long work at the University of Roorkee (now the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee). The book comprehensively covers the historical development of earthquake engineering in India, and uses this background knowledge to address the need for current advances in earthquake engineering, especially in developing countries. After discussing the history and growth of earthquake engineering in India from the past 50 years, the book addresses the present status of earthquake engineering in regards to the seismic resistant designs of bridges, buildings, railways, and other infrastructures. Specific topics include response spectrum superposition methods, design philosophy, system identification approaches, retaining walls, and shallow foundations. Readers will learn about developments in earthquake engineering over the past 50 years, and how new methods and technologies can be applied towards seismic risk and hazard identification and mitigation. 606 $aNatural disasters 606 $aEnvironmental sciences 606 $aEngineering geology 606 $aEngineering?Geology 606 $aFoundations 606 $aHydraulics 606 $aBuildings?Design and construction 606 $aBuilding 606 $aConstruction 606 $aEngineering, Architectural 606 $aFire prevention 606 $aEnvironmental engineering 606 $aBiotechnology 606 $aNatural Hazards$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G32000 606 $aEnvironmental Science and Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G37000 606 $aGeoengineering, Foundations, Hydraulics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23020 606 $aBuilding Construction and Design$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23012 606 $aFire Science, Hazard Control, Building Safety$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23130 606 $aEnvironmental Engineering/Biotechnology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U33000 615 0$aNatural disasters. 615 0$aEnvironmental sciences. 615 0$aEngineering geology. 615 0$aEngineering?Geology. 615 0$aFoundations. 615 0$aHydraulics. 615 0$aBuildings?Design and construction. 615 0$aBuilding. 615 0$aConstruction. 615 0$aEngineering, Architectural. 615 0$aFire prevention. 615 0$aEnvironmental engineering. 615 0$aBiotechnology. 615 14$aNatural Hazards. 615 24$aEnvironmental Science and Engineering. 615 24$aGeoengineering, Foundations, Hydraulics. 615 24$aBuilding Construction and Design. 615 24$aFire Science, Hazard Control, Building Safety. 615 24$aEnvironmental Engineering/Biotechnology. 676 $a551 702 $aSharma$b M.
