QUÉ SIGNIFICA PEDESTAL EN INGLÉS

Pedestal

Pedestal

Pedestal o zócalo es un término generalmente aplicado al soporte de una estatua o un jarrón. Aunque en Siria, Asia Menor y Túnez, los romanos ocasionalmente erguían las columnas de sus templos o propilias sobre pedestales cuadrados, en la propia Roma se empleaban sólo para dar mayor importancia a columnas aisladas, como las de Trajano y Antonino, o como podio A las columnas empleadas decorativamente en los arcos triunfales romanos. Los arquitectos del renacimiento italiano, sin embargo, concibieron la idea de que ningún orden era completo sin un pedestal, y como las órdenes fueron por ellos empleadas para dividir y decorar un edificio en varias historias, la cornisa del pedestal se llevó a cabo y se formó Los alféizares de sus ventanas o, en arcadas abiertas, alrededor de un patio, la balaustrada de la arcada. También parecen haber considerado que la altura del pedestal debe corresponder en su proporción con la de la columna o pilastra que soportaba; Así en la iglesia de San Juan de Letrán, donde la orden aplicada es de dimensiones considerables, el pedestal mide 13 pies de altura en lugar de la altura ordinaria de 3 a 5 pies.

Pedestal or plinth is a term generally applied to the support of a statue or a vase. Although in Syria, Asia Minor and Tunisia the Romans occasionally raised the columns of their temples or propylaea on square pedestals, in Rome itself they were employed only to give greater importance to isolated columns, such as those of Trajan and Antoninus, or as a podium to the columns employed decoratively in the Roman triumphal arches. The architects of the Italian revival, however, conceived the idea that no order was complete without a pedestal, and as the orders were by them employed to divide up and decorate a building in several stories, the cornice of the pedestal was carried through and formed the sills of their windows, or, in open arcades, round a court, the balustrade of the arcade. They also would seem to have considered that the height of the pedestal should correspond in its proportion with that of the column or pilaster it supported; thus in the church of Saint John Lateran, where the applied order is of considerable dimensions, the pedestal is 13 feet high instead of the ordinary height of 3 to 5 feet.
