Guarino Guarini ( 1624-1683) was one of the outstanding architects of the late Italian Baroque, whose work in Sicily and Turin was later to be profoundly influential in Austria, southern Germany and Bohemia. This book--the first about Guarini in English--examines his life and architectural achievements.

Guarino Guarini's dome of San Lorenzo in Turin is singular. There are three predominate features that make it so: first, the pattern of the exposed ribs; second, the radical opening of the webbing between the ribs; and third, the conceit that it is not fully supported by the structure below it. While scholars have long questioned the reasoning behind the domes appearance, the impetus for its creation has not been fully addressed.

The famed linen cloth preserved in Turin Cathedral has provoked pious devotion, scientific scrutiny, and morbid curiosity. Imprinted with an image many faithful have traditionally believed to be that of the crucified Christ "painted in his own blood," the Shroud remains an object of intense debate and notoriety yet today. In this amply illustrated volume, John Beldon Scott traces the history of the unique relic, focusing especially on the black-marble and gilt-bronze structure Guarino Guarini designed to house and exhibit it. A key Baroque monument, the chapel comprises many unusual architectural features, which Scott identifies and explains, particulary how the chapel's unprecedented geometry and bizarre imagery convey to the viewer the supernatural powers of the object enshrined there. Drawing on early plans and documents, he demonstrates how the architect's design mirrors the Shroud's strange history as well as political aspirations of its owners, the Dukes of Savoy. Exhibiting it ritually, the Savoy prized their relic with its godly vestige as a means to link their dynasty with divine purposes. Guarini, too, promoted this end by fashioning an illusionary world and sacred space that positioned the duke visually so that he appeared close to the Shroud during its ceremonial display. Finally, Scott describes how the additional need for an outdoor stage for the public showing of the relic to the thousands who came to Turin to see it also helped shape the urban plan of the city and its transformation into the Savoyard capital. Exploring the mystique of this enigmatic relic and investigating its architectural and urban history for the first time, Architecture for the Shroud will appeal to anyone curious about the textile, its display, and the architectural settings designed to enhance its veneration and boost the political agenda of the ruling family.

Religioso dell'ordine dei Teatini, filosofo e matematico, teorico senza l'esperienza del disegno, Guarini si accosta alla pratica del costruire da una parte attraverso i libri e le letture, dall'altra con i viaggi e i soggiorni nelle case del proprio ordine, che da Modena lo portano a Roma, a Venezia, in Sicilia, a Parigi e in Francia, infine per un più lungo periodo a Torino, con puntate ancora nel Veneto, in Emilia e a Milano. Guarini fonde architettura e geometria, e inventa i suoi straordinari spazi introducendo nella prassi italiana tecniche costruttive derivanti dall'Europa del Nord, come la stereotomia o le strutture a nervature di origine gotica. La percezione visiva diviene, con Guarini, elemento determinante dell'architettura, così come il rapporto tra lo spazio e la luce, dando vita a organismi completamente inediti come la chiesa di San Lorenzo o, sempre a Torino, Palazzo Carignano, vero prototipo della dimora primcipesca. Questo volume, originato dal seminario organizzato nel 2002 dal Centro Internazionale di Studi di Architettura Andrea Palladio e sostenuto dalla Compagnia di San Paolo, costituisce la riflessione più completa e aggiornata sull'opera di questo grande architetto, grazie al contributo scientifico dei più importanti studiosi e dei migliori specialisti.

Baroque architect and mathematician Guarino Guarini is the subject of this issue of the Nexus Network Journal. A group of international scholars were invited to contribute papers that shed light on the unanswered questions in several areas: Baroque architecture in general and Guarini’s architecture in particular; philosophy; history of structural mechanics; mathematics and history of mathematics, cosmology. As always, the NNJ takes an interdisciplinary approach to the broad range of subjects that Guarini concerned himself with, thus the final results will add significantly to our understanding of how Guarini’s actual practical and technical processes were informed by knowledge of his multifaceted scientific and philosophical interests.
