Advances in scientific race theory enabled designers to think of "race" and "style" as manifestations of natural law: just as biological processes seemed to inherently regulate the racial characters that made humans a perfect fit for their geographical contexts, architectural characters became a rational product of design. Parallels between racial and architectural characters provided a rationalist model of design that fashioned some of the most influential national building styles of the past, from the pioneering concepts of French structural rationalism and German tectonic theory to the nationalist associations of the Chicago Style, the Prairie Style, and the International Style. In Building Character, Charles Davis traces the racial charge of the architectural writings of five modern theorists--Eugene Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc, Gottfried Semper, Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright, and William Lescaze--to highlight the social, political, and historical significance of the spatial, structural, and ornamental elements of modern architectural styles. 410 0$aCulture, politics, and the built environment. 606 $aArchitecture and race$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aArchitecture and race$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aArchitecture and society$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aArchitecture and society$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aArchitecture$xPsychological aspects 606 $aDemocracy and architecture 606 $aARCHITECTURE / General$2bisacsh 606 $aArchitecture and race$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00813570 606 $aArchitecture and society$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00813574 606 $aArchitecture$xPsychological aspects$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00813504 606 $aDemocracy and architecture$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01737539 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aArchitecture and race$xHistory 615 0$aArchitecture and race$xHistory 615 0$aArchitecture and society$xHistory 615 0$aArchitecture and society$xHistory 615 0$aArchitecture$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aDemocracy and architecture. 615 7$aARCHITECTURE / General 615 7$aArchitecture and race. 615 7$aArchitecture and society. 615 7$aArchitecture$xPsychological aspects. 615 7$aDemocracy and architecture. 676 $a720.89 676 $a720.1/03 676 $a720.103 700 $aDavis$b Charles L.$cII$0150958 801 0$bN$T 801 1$bN$T 801 2$bN$T 801 2$bP@U 801 2$bOCLCF 801 2$bJSTOR 801 2$bSFB 801 2$bYDXIT 801 2$bOCL 801 2$bTXI 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bQGK 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911109788103321 996 $aBuilding character$94755509 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04614nam 22007214a 450 001 9911148791303321 005 20251117115602.0 010 $a9786613277060 010 $a9781283277068 010 $a1283277069 010 $a9780520928725 010 $a0520928725 010 $a9781597344715 010 $a1597344710 024 7 $a10.1525/9780520928725 035 $a(CKB)111090529078550 035 $a(EBL)223458 035 $a(OCoLC)475928019 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000104458 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11131022 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000104458 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10080098 035 $a(PQKB)11473888 035 $a(StDuBDS)EDZ0000056020 035 $a(DE-B1597)520573 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780520928725 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL223458 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10058572 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL327706 035 $a(dli)HEB06179 035 $a(MiU)MIU01000000000000007009186 035 $a(Perlego)551875 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC223458 035 $a(EXLCZ)99111090529078550 100 $a20021018d2003 ub 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn#---|u||u 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aApocalypse in Rome $eCola di Rienzo and the politics of the New Age /$fRonald G.

A young visionary and the best political speaker of his time, Cola promised Rome a return to its former greatness. Ronald G. Musto's vivid biography of this charismatic leader-whose exploits have enlivened the work of poets, composers, and dramatists, as well as historians-peels away centuries of interpretation to reveal the realities of fourteenth-century Italy and to offer a comprehensive account of Cola's rise and fall. A man of modest origins, Cola gained a reputation as a talented professional with an unparalleled knowledge of Rome's classical remains. After earning the respect and friendship of Petrarch and the sponsorship of Pope Clement VI, Cola won the affections and loyalties of all classes of Romans. His buono stato established the reputation of Rome as the heralded New Jerusalem of the Apocalypse and quickly made the city a potent diplomatic and religious center that challenged the authority-and power-of both pope and emperor. At the height of Cola's rule, a conspiracy of pope and barons forced him to flee the city and live for years as a fugitive until he was betrayed and taken to Avignon to stand trial as a heretic. Musto relates the dramatic story of Cola's subsequent exoneration and return to central Italy as an agent of the new pope. But only weeks after he reestablished his government, he was slain by the Romans atop the Capitoline hill. In his exploration, Musto examines every known document pertaining to Cola's life, including papal, private, and diplomatic correspondence rarely used by earlier historians. With his intimate knowledge of historical Rome-its streets and ruins, its churches and palaces, from the busy Tiber riverfront to the lost splendor of the Capitoline-he brings a cinematic flair to this fascinating historical narrative. 606 $aRevolutionaries$zItaly$zRome$vBiography 607 $aRome (Italy)$xHistory$y476-1420 607 $aRome (Italy)$vBiography 615 0$aRevolutionaries 676 $a945/.63205/092 676 $aB 700 $aMusto$b Ronald G$0781606 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911148791303321 996 $aApocalypse in Rome$91733288 997 $aUNINA
