Oscar Niemeyer, l’Algérie et l’architecture de la Révolution ImageImageImageImage
1) Empêché de travailler suite au coup d’Etat militaire au Brésil, Oscar Niemeyer (communiste) s’exile en Europe en 1967, puis à l’invitation du président Houari #Boumediene, s’installe à #Alger en 1969 où il passera 6 ans de sa vie jusqu’en 1975. ImageImage
2) Le Pdt Boumediène demande à Niemeyer de développer un urbanisme qui donnera au monde une vision moderne de l’Algerie, en rupture avec l’architecture coloniale française. Jason Oddy a séjourné en 2013 en Algérie pour 📸 cet héritage architectural moderniste. ImageImage

Η κηδεία με τιμές αρχηγού κράτους είναι μια πολιτειακή πράξη.

Αποτελεί εκδήλωση ενάσκησης δημόσιας εξουσίας.

#thread #funeral #Constantine
Αποφασίζεται με υπουργική απόφαση που δημοσιεύεται στην εφημερίδα της κυβερνήσεως και επιβάλλει την παρουσία πολιτειακών συμβόλων και αξιωματούχων του στενού πυρήνα της κρατικής υπόστασης.
Δεν αφορά μια απλή περίπτωση κηδείας δημοσία δαπάνη. Ισοδυναμεί με την μέγιστη τιμή που μπορεί η πολιτεία να αποδώσει σε έναν νεκρό.

Oud-koning Constantijn II is overleden, rip. In maart was ik in Griekenland om aan te kloppen bij zijn huis voor een interview (brief mee), maar toen werd al duidelijk dat hij erg ziek was. In mijn boek komt de Griekse monarchie ook voor #boekproject #monarchieEuropa
De koning woonde tot aan de zomer van vorig jaar in Porto Cheli, vlakbij het zomerhuis van onze koning. Mooie omgeving, maar te ver weg van Athene. Vanwege de slechte gezondheid verkocht hij het huis en verhuisde hij met koningin Anne-Marie naar Kolonaki #Constantine2 #greece
Ben in maart ook bij Tatoi geweest. Het voormalige paleis van Constantijn II ligt er nu vervallen bij. Na zijn mislukte tegencoup (1967) vluchtte de familie naar Rome. Begin jaren ‘90 hebben ze spullen en kunst 🖼 weggehaald. Na hun terugkeer (2013) bleef Tatoi leeg @amboanthos

Oh, Rome, the eternal city, the magnificent place, the capital of the mighty #RomanEmpire. Right?

Wrong. Ok, right, but only partially.

The capital (s) of the Roman Empire (as there was more than one) and the shift to the East.

A thread 🧵
A town founded in 753 BC at the banks of Tiber, by the first century BC, Rome turned into the most important city in the Mediterranean. Its optimal location, in the middle of #Italy, right in the centre of the Mediterranean basin, resulted in the rapid growth of the city. /1
It also helped that #Rome was the capital of the rising power, the Roman Republic, which by the end of the first century BC, defeated all its major rivals, including Carthage and the Hellenistic Kingdoms in the East. /2

When the Western Roman emperor Constantius died in 306 ce, his son, Constantine, was named the next emperor at York (in present-day Britain). However, in Rome, Maxentius laid claim to the same title. For nearly six years, Constantine avoided a direct confrontation.
However, in 312 ce, he gathered an army of 40,000 and marched into Rome.
A decisive and historic battle in 312 ce, the Battle of Milvian Bridge was fought between two challengers to the Roman Empire's throne: Constantine and Maxentius.
