This article investigates how the Kunstkammer of Johannes Faulhaber, renowned mathematician and engineer of Ulm, functioned as a place dedicated to the advancement of mechanical-architectural knowledge. Examining several unstudied publications associated with his Kunstkammer and a previously unknown inventory, we reconstruct the collection and examine Faulhaber’s advertisement of it in printed catalogues. A comparison of Faulhaber᾽s collection with that of his contemporary Joseph Furttenbach the Elder highlights specifics of its focus and scope. The Kunstkammer was also a place of technology transfer, whereby aspects of Dutch military technology were introduced into the German context, and were in turn further disseminated through Faulhaber’s publications. In this sense, Faulhaber᾽s Kunstkammer can be understood as an entanglement of ‘places’ – both physical and printed.
本文研究了乌尔姆著名数学家和工程师Johannes Faulhaber的Kunstkammer是如何作为一个致力于机械建筑知识进步的地方发挥作用的。研究了与他的《艺术》有关的一些未经研究的出版物和一个以前不为人知的库存,我们重建了这些收藏,并检查了Faulhaber在印刷目录中的广告。将Faulhaber的收藏与他同时代的Joseph Furttenbach the Elder的收藏进行对比,可以突出其关注的焦点和范围。Kunstkammer也是一个技术转让的地方,荷兰军事技术的各个方面被引入德国的背景下,并通过Faulhaber的出版物进一步传播。从这个意义上说,Faulhaber的Kunstkammer可以被理解为“地方”的纠缠——物理的和印刷的。

The article unfolds an account of several overlapping fields of inquiry contributing to the early modern experience of the cosmos. Traversing scale, scope, and media, from the first recorded meteorite fall to scholastic debates over the materiality of heaven and the practice of architecture as cosmic analogue, I argue in favour of bringing together a broad range of interdisciplinary source material in order to explore the spatiality of the cosmos and how it was encountered and reproduced as a place or cosmic space or non-place on earth. The accompanying examples gesture towards an open-ended model defined not solely by the built environment as much as by the ephemeral and rhetorical structures framing the cosmos for human consumption.

The Spedale di Santa Maria della Scala was central to the development of architecture and infrastructure in early modern Siena. A major landowner and patron, the hospital institution oversaw the construction of a wide range of buildings throughout the commune, and also played a crucial role in the perpetuation of a distinctly Sienese corpus of technical knowledge. Archival records attest to the presence of the Spedale’s building workshop, which contributed workers, materials and expertise to both the institution’s projects, as well as those involving Siena’s infrastructure and defences. Several fifteenth-century model books trace the technical tradition spearheaded by the Scala. Assembled by individual practitioners, the books bolstered a collective memory, delineating the ideas and structures that made Siena a place.
Spedale di Santa Maria della Scala 是现代早期锡耶纳建筑和基础设施发展的核心。作为主要的土地所有者和赞助人,这家医院机构负责监督整个市镇范围内各种建筑的建造,并在延续具有锡耶纳特色的技术知识方面发挥着至关重要的作用。档案记录证明了 Spedale 建筑工作室的存在,该工作室为医院项目以及锡耶纳基础设施和防御项目提供工人、材料和专业知识。几本 15 世纪的模型书追溯了斯卡拉率先倡导的技术传统。这些书籍由个体从业者组装而成,增强了集体记忆,勾勒出锡耶纳的理念和结构。

Architectural spaces are usually considered only in their visual and threedimensional character. However, the proper experience of space is multisensory. Sonority is undoubtedly the non-visual characteristic that most affects architecture, influencing its three-dimensional shape, and the size and distribution of its individual parts. Early modern sacred architecture is a case in point. Focusing on Rome and the development of architecture in relation to musical practices, this article demonstrates how architectural forms evolved through a process that ranged from provisional installations to the design of entirely new churches and oratories. In the Baroque period, these religious structures were conceived as synaesthetic spaces of sonority and architecture, in which vision, hearing and liturgical acts merged in an expressive unity.

Foundation-laying practices for marshy conditions have received comparatively little attention in architectural history; however, in the seventeenth century Netherlandish specialized skill and knowledge for the construction of pile foundations was recognized as being exceptional and garnered international esteem. Based on new archival material, this article provides insight into the rigorous processes of foundation design, and draws attention to its multidisciplinary nature. In addition, it sheds new light on the introduction of deep foundations, which was a major engineering innovation, providing greater stability because of the use of longer piles that reached the first solid layer deep below the surface. While Dutch expertise was directly related to the landscapes they inhabited, other factors that fostered innovation in foundation design are considered as well.
