The paper explores the architecture of King Philip II royal residence. El Escorial monastery palace represents a system of art treasures of the Spanish Renaissance, manifested in the method of implementing the figurative absolutization of the Classical aesthetics, revealing the ideas of the magnificence of the “Roman spirit” of the Habsburg empire. By reinterpreting the legacy of the theory of architectural rules, El Escorial was the standard of classical construction in late 16th century Spain. The Christian ideas become the cement of the Empire governance. It is symbolic that the year of the completion of Trento Cathedral (1563) was also the year the construction of El Escorial had begun. The first executor of the project was the architect, philosopher, and mathematician Juan Bautista de Toledo, who studied in Rome and Naples under the masters of the Italian Renaissance. He was later replaced by Juan de Herrera, the acclaimed spokesman of the royal architectural style. The paper covers the most controversial issues: problems of the ensemble concept, their interpretations, the role of theoretical sources, biblical semantics, etc.

An expeditious emergency survey. Fort San José in Cartagena de Indias (Colombia)The recent methods of survey and modeling based on digital images or laser scanner technologies, today widely tested, are an exceptional support for the rapidity of acquisition, especially in emergency situations where it is necessary to quickly acquire a documentation in order not to stay long in a place. The Fort San Jose, designed by Juan de Herrera between 1714 and 1725 and completed by Antonio de Arévalo after almost 50 years, completes the defense of navigable access to the bay of Cartagena de Indias between the island of Bocachica and Isla Bomba. Placed on an artificial island in front of the fort of S. Ferdinando it has undergone frequent flooding in recent years due to a sinking process. Studies relating to emergency expeditious surveys are limited and episodic, detailed in most cases in the archaeological field where urgent excavations must be carried out and phenomena and situations that can be lost must be recorded rapidly. The Italian Ministry of Heritage and Cultural Activities in 2013 prepared card systems to document the damage following natural disasters. In the case of study, modern surveying methods are used, integrating the use of laser scanner technologies for accessible areas and aerial photogrammetry for those facing the sea. The objective is to draw up an architectural survey that documents the state of consistency of the fortress that has never been detected to date and in this way initiate a monitoring of the ongoing processes. At the same time, it constitutes an indispensable cognitive support for possible activities and intervention strategies that aim to put an end to instability.

Объектом исследования в контексте испанской архитектуры XVI начала XVII века являются два испанских города Баэса и Убеда, имеющих культурное и историческое сходство. В результате анализа их планов, архитектурных доминант автор обнаруживает отличительные черты архитектурного и градостроительного решения двух близлежащих городов. Особый интерес представляет многообразие художественных течений и традиций разных исторических эпох (поздней готики, мудехара, кастильско-фламандского исабелино, итальянского пуризма, элементов классической архитектуры раннего испанского Ренессанса и др.). Подобное сопоставительное исследование ранее не проводилось искусствоведами. Материалом для анализа послужили наиболее характерные по выразительности стилевых решений арка де Вильялар, ворота Хаена, площадь Популо, дворец Хабалькинто, капелла-усыпальница Сан Сальвадор, дворец Васкес де Молина и собор Санта Мария де лос Реалес Алькасарес, Каса де лас Торрес дворец маркизов Баско дель Пескаро, палаццо Канденас. Автором отмечен вклад таких зодчих, как Энрике де Эгас и Хуан Гуас, Андрес де Вандельвира, Хуан де Эррера и Диего де Силоэ, в формирование архитектурного языка Восточной Андалусии. The object of the study are two Spanish cities Baeza and Ubeda, which have cultural and historical similarities in the context of Spanish architecture of the 16th early 17th centuries. As a result of the analysis of their plans, architectural dominants, the author discovers the distinctive features of the architectural and urban planning decisions of two nearby cities. Of particular interest is the variety of artistic movements and traditions of different historical eras (late Gothic, Mudejar, Castilian-Flemish Isabelino, Italian purism, elements of the classical architecture of the early Spanish Renaissance, etc.). Earlier, art historians did not conduct such a comparative study. The materials used for analysis were the most typical architectural monuments that are most expressive of style decisions: Villalar Arch (Arco de Villalar), Baeza Jaen Gate (Puerta de Jan), Ppulo Square (Plaza del Ppulo), Jabalquinto Palace (Palacio de Jabalquinto), Holy Chapel of the Saviour (Sacra Capilla del Salvador), Vzquez de Molina Palace, Baslica de Santa Mara de los Reales Alczares, House of Towers (Casa de las Torres), Palace of the Chains (Palacio de las Cadenas). The author notes the contribution of architects such as Enrique Egas and Juan Guas, Andres de Vandelvira, Juan de Herrera and Diego de Silo in the formation of the architectural language of Eastern Andalusia.

A new means of minting currency was first used at the Hall Mint in Tyrol in 1567. This new minting process employed a roller instead of a hammer and used hydropower to fuel the laminating and coining mills, as well as ancillary equipment, such as the forge or the lathe. In 1577, Philip II of Spain expressed his interest in the new technology and, after a successful technology transfer negotiation with the County of Tyrol, Juan de Herrera was commissioned to design a factory to accommodate this new minting process. The resulting design seamlessly integrated this new technology. The architectural layout of the factory was derived from the integration of different trades related to the manufacturing workflow, and their effective distribution within a more effective workplace allowed for better use of the hydraulic resources available, and, thus, improvements in the productivity and reliability of the manufacturing process, as well as in the quality of the finished product. Juan de Herrera’s design led to the creation of a ground-breaking manufacturing process, unparalleled in the mint industry in Europe at the time. Segovia Royal Mint Factory (SRMF), as one of the first examples of mass production in the proto-industrial stage, represents a historic landmark in its own right. The objective of this article is to analyse the design of the SRMF to highlight its main innovations. For this purpose, the abundant literature on this project will be reviewed.

En este trabajo examino la figura de Dimas de Miguel y, en particular, de su opúsculo Breve y compendioso compendio de la arte de Raymundo Llull como parte de un debate en torno a la noción de universalidad. Dimas de Miguel perteneció al círculo intelectual que rodeó a Juan de Herrera y que se asoció al rey Felipe II en las últimas décadas de su vida. Este círculo conservó los aspectos misioneros originales del lulismo, pero se concentró en la faceta del arte luliano que prometía una lógica alrededor de la cual todas las disciplinas académicas podían organizarse. Me centraré en tres puntos de análisis de esta universalidad: los catálogos como mapas del legado de la obra luliana en distintas bibliotecas; el establecimiento de un vocabulario de la universalidad en el mencionado tratado de Dimas; y, por último, en la argumentación de esta universalidad en oposición a sus detractores académicos y eclesiásticos.

El artículo revisa el papel que juega la arquitectura surgida a la sombra de Juan de Herrera en Andalucía Oriental (Granada y Jaén) a raíz de la intervención del arquitecto cántabro en el Palacio de Carlos V en la Alhambra. En el arco temporal entre 1590 y 1650, arquitectos procedentes de la corte, como Francisco de Mora o Francisco de Potes, y otros locales, con mayor o menor desafección, continúan y consolidan un clasicismo regido por la excelente tradición estereotómica imperante en la región. De modo especial, resaltamos en este sentido la figura de Juan de Aranda Salazar. Sin olvidar tampoco la aportación de la Compañía de Jesús a través de sus arquitectos, en especial Juan Bautista Villalpando, activo en Baeza, tan ligado a la figura de Herrera.

La biografía del ingeniero militar Cristóbal de Rojas era poco conocida hasta el momento. Este artículo pretende ofrecer nuevos datos sobre la misma, tanto en sus orígenes, como en su posible formación y aparición en Sevilla. Posteriormente se aborda la realización de lo que sería su primera obra documentada: la portada del hastial de la parroquia de Cañete de las Torres (Córdoba). Además, se plantea delimitar su participación en la obra de El Escorial a un contacto con los círculos matemáticos de Juan de Herrera, como parte de su capacitación como ingeniero con Tiburcio Spanocchi. Finalmente se ofrecen algunas novedades sobre sus distintos matrimonios.

El artículo aborda la reconstrucción gráfica de los instrumentos descritos en la Instrucción de Juan López de Velasco para determinar la longitud mediante la observación de los eclipses de Luna. Al final se formula una propuesta teórica: aunque el método para la determinación de las longitudes descrito en el cuestionario de los eclipses, ha sido atribuido en diversas ocasiones a López de Velasco, la invención de los instrumentos es poco probable que se deba al cosmógrafo real, existiendo indicios que apuntan hacia la intervención de Juan de Herrera, arquitecto de Felipe II.
