Design principles in the Alhambra and Owen Jones’ studies
It has long been recognized that the pivot between the Alhambra and the Alhambresque with regard to architectural forms and, even more so, color, was the work of Owen Jones (1809-1874) in his architectural projects and publications. The present study starts by looking back to the aesthetic principles embodied in the Alhambra, and then examines the distance in the nineteenth century between Jones’ cogent understanding and the subsequent adaptations of the Alhambresque. The Salón árabe (Arab Room) in the Royal Palace at Aranjuez offers a case study of the path from derivation to deviation in a design, which although initiated by Rafael Contreras Muñoz (1824-1890), restorer-decorator of the Alhambra, was overtaken by other forces. This case enables the analysis of the interrelationship between color and geometry, which I take to be the crux of the use of color in medieval Islamic architecture, a principle that was mismanaged at Aranjuez.
Although the Alhambra was built over the course of three centuries, the Nasrid palatial city is remarkably unified, architecturally and aesthetically. The nineteenth-century Orientalist imaginary singled out the Court of the Lions and its adjacent two precincts, the Hall of Two Sisters and the Hall of the Abencerrajes, with their soaring muqarnas vaults, as the paradigm for Alhambresque courtyards and interiors. Jones was the main resource for those projects, both as a theorist and a practitioner. His text, Plans, Elevations, Sections and Details of the Alhambra, was first available in installments in 1836, and then as a two-volume edition, illustrated with Jones’ pioneering chromolithographic plates, between 1842 and 1845 (Goury and
