Parution : Jasenka Gudelj et al. (dir.), “Networks of Faith and Form. Jesuit Art and Architecture in the Eastern Adriatic”, Turnhout, Brepols, 2026

This book explores how the art and architecture commissioned by the Jesuits along the eastern shores of the Adriatic during the early modern period reflect a distinct cultural identity shaped within a universal and institutionally coherent framework—one that transcended geographical and temporal boundaries. Though diverse in form and style, these buildings were profoundly influenced by the organisational structures and intellectual networks of religious communities. Through enduring traditions and the strategic mobility of their members across...

Parution : José Eloy Hortal Munoz, Merlijn Hurx (dir.), “Building the Presence of the Prince. The Institutions Responsible for the Construction and Management of the Buildings of European Courts (14th-17th centuries)”, Turnhout, Brepols, 2025

By the late Middle Ages, architecture became an increasingly important means of representation of princely rule and institutions. In addition to their symbolic significance, the ruler’s buildings served a host of practical purposes. Obviously, castles and fortresses defended the territory, while urban and rural residences served the itinerant court during its proceedings, but their possessions also comprised a wider network of estates that included infrastructure and agricultural, commercial, industrial, and administrative buildings. Together, these networks...

Appel à contribution : « The Lessons of Rome (9th edition) », Lyon, Musée des beaux-arts, 13 mars 2026, date limite le 15 février 2026

The Lessons of Rome aim to propose a space for reflection for anyone who grasps Italy as an architectural, urban, and landscape research laboratory. Defining Italy as a laboratory involves analyzing contexts of urban policies but also as design experiences, theories, practices, legacies, mutations, and prospects. It means building knowledge and culture, learning and developing tools to conceive the present and to enrich contemporary practices. The Lessons of Rome provide the opportunity to be kept...

Parution : Dijana O. Apostolski et Aaron White (dir.), “Early Modern Architecture and Whiteness. Power by Design”, Londres, Routledge, 2025

Framing whiteness as a sensorial quality connate with ethical, aesthetic, epistemological, and ontological hierarchies, this edited volume examines how the category of whiteness shaped architectural theories and practices across the early modern period. What was architecture’s role in race-making, constructions of whiteness, and processes of othering more generally? How was whiteness architecturally questioned, reinforced, conceptualized, practiced, and materialized? And how did whiteness intersect with categories such as class, nation, gender, beauty, hygiene, and health? In...

Colloque: “Die ehemalige Dominikanerkirche St. Magdalena”, Augsburg, Université d’Augsburg, du 20 au 21 novembre 2025

Prof. Dr. Andrea Gottdang, Universität Augsburg, Lehrstuhl Kunstgeschichte. St. Magdalena in Augsburg diente zwischen 1515 und 1807 als Klosterkirche der Dominikaner, deren Geschichte genau vor 800 Jahren mit einigen Mönchen „Am Schwall“ begann. Sie zogen 1313 in die verlassenen Gebäude des aufgehobenen Templerordens um, und der Konvent wuchs auf zeitweise 40 Brüder an. Als die mittelalterliche Kirche um 1500 nicht mehr repräsentativ genug erschien, ließ Prior Johannes Faber 1513–1515 den Frührenaissance-Bau errichten, dessen riesiges Dach...
