About the Book

English summary: Guarino Guarini was a Theatine monk, philosopher, mathematician, playwright and an ingenious architect. He lived in the 17th century and left behind buildings with strong dynamics and an original character, especially in Turin. After his death, the plans for twelve unrealised projects were published, which triggered a strong interest among many architects across Europe at the time and were regarded as very modern. Buildings inspired by Guarini can be found in churches from Cadiz to Vilnius, from London to Prague and from Legnickie Pole (Wahlstatt) to Nice. In Germany, buildings like the Frauenkirche in Dresden or the churches of Dientzenhofer and Neumann would be unimaginable without these models. Since most people find it hard to imagine buildings based on sections, ground plans and elevations, images created from the plans make the evaluation of the buildings much easier. Only perspective prawings can convey a vivid spatial impression. The Guarini sketches and the insights drawn from the interior and exterior views do not only enrich our perception of the boldly conceived and origninally designed baroque rooms. They are also of interest to our own century, because they make use of elements of space which are clearly distinct but connected to each other, as do many contemporary architects. Only rarely have buildings of such imaginative diversity been designed. In the end, the intellectual achievement and the importance of a building are not diminished by the question whether or not it has actually been built or not. German description: Guarino Guarini war Theatinermonch, Philosoph, Mathematiker, Stuckeschreiber und ein genialer Architekt. Er lebte im 17. Jahrhundert und hinterliess - vor allem in Turin - Bauten von starker Dynamik und origineller Eigenart. Nach seinem Tod wurden Plane von zwolf unausgefuhrt gebliebenen Entwurfen publiziert, die zu diesem Zeitpunkt bei vielen Architekten in ganz Europa ein starkes Interesse auslosten und als sehr modern empfunden wurden. Von Guarini angeregte Bauten finden sich in Krichen von Cadiz bis Wilnius, von London bis Prag und von Wahlstatt bis Nizza. In Deutschland waren Bauten wie die Dresner Frauenkirch oder Kirchen von Dientzenhofer und Neumann ohne diese Vorbilder nicht denkbar. Da die meisten Menschen Muhe haben, sich Bauten aus Schnitten, Grund- und Aufrissen vorzustellen, erleichtern nach Planen angefertigte Ansichten die Beurteilung erheblich. Nur Perspektiven konnen einen sinnlichen Raumeindruck vermitteln. Die Guarinischen Entwurfe und die aus den Innen- und Aussenansichten gewonnen Einsichten bereichern nicht allen unsere Vorstellung der kuhn erdachten und neuartig gestalteten Barockraume. Sie sind auch fur unser Jahrhundert von Interesse, weil sie - wie viele Architekten heute - klar voneinander abgesetzte und miteinander verbundene Raumelemente verwenden. Selten wurden Bauten von derart phantasievoller Vielfalt erdacht. Letztlich mindert es die geistige Leistung und Bedeutung eines Baus nicht, ob er nun ausgefuhrt wurde oder nicht.
