This book is meant to look at architecture considering its invisible side – connected to its intensity, to its unmanifested potentialities, to the spatial and temporal superpositions that it carries and that infuse places, situations, objects with a specific cultural memory. Identified as a capacity to temporarily manifest a virtual potential that architecture carries, this intensity is seen as a regenerative and transformative dimension, which the real carries. — Marta Jecu

Variations on Mannerism: A Comparative Study Between the 16th Century and the Present

Variações sobre o Maneirismo: Estudo Comparativo entre o Século XVI e o Presente

by Filipe Rocha da Silva

Filipe Rocha da Silva’s Ph.D. thesis in Visual Arts, presented at the University of Évora, Portugal, in January 2005, is subdivisible into several parts that are relatively independent. This is the second volume of a comparative study between art and society in the sixteenth and twentieth centuries, according to several criteria: the artistic freedom, the treatment of the human figure, the composition and structure of the pictorial space, the status of the artist, the art school, globalization, the value of art and the role of the public.

The book is designed by Flatland Design.
