Urban Art and the City
This book offers original interdisciplinary insights into cities as a diachronic creation of urban art. The book probes this process primarily through the example of Athens and Byzantine Constantinople, but also Jerusalem, Cyprus and regional cities, revealing how urban space unavoidably encompasses a spatial and temporal palimpsest which is constantly emerging. It engages in a sequence of historical perspectives to examine urban space as an object of apparent quasi-cycles and processes of constitution, exaltation, imitation, contestation and redemption through art.Urban art transforms the city into a human-made sublime which is explored in the context of the Eastern Mediterranean.
These extend from archaic, classical and Byzantine urban It presents new ideas for both the theorization and sensuous conception of artistic reality, architecture, and planning attributes.
