Seller's Description:
Used-Very Good. Classical architecture is a visual 'language' and like any other languagehas its own grammatical rules. Classical buildings as widely spaced in time as aRoman temple, an Italian Renaissance palace and a Regency house all show anawareness of these rules even if they vary them, break them or poetically contradictthem. Sir Christopher Wren described them as the 'Latin' of architecture and theanalogy is almost exact. There is the difference, however, that whereas the learningof Latin is a slow and difficult business, the language of classical architecture isrelatively simple. It is still, to a great extent, the mode of expression of oururban surroundings, since classical architecture was the common language of thewestern world till comparatively recent times. Anybody to whom architecture makes astrong appeal has probably already discovered something of its grammar forhimself. in this book, the author's purpose is to set out as simply and vividly aspossible the exact grammatical workings of this architectural language. He is lessconcerned with its development in Greece and Rome than with its expansion and use inthe centuries since the Renaissance. He explains the vigorous discipline of 'theorders' and the scope of 'rustication'; the dramatic deviations of the Baroque and, in the last chapter, the relationship between the classical tradition and the'modern' architecture of today. The book is intended for anybody who cares forarchitecture but more specifically for students beginning a course in the history ofarchitecture, to whom a guide to the classical rules will be an essentialcompanion. The author's purpose is to set out as simply and vividly as possible the exact grammatical workings of an architectural language. Book is signed by previous owner. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks. Used copy with only slight wear.
