Synopsis
Classical architecture, from its origins in the first houses and temples built by the early societies of the Mediterranean, was to find perfect expression in the temples of the Greek city-states. Its excellence is such that it has endured for over 2000 years as a universal ideal. This handbook on classical architecture traces its history to the present day and provides examples of every aspect of classical design. A special feature of this book is the presentation of illustrative material opposite the subjects of discussion. Derek Brentnall's illustrations have been researched and the position of the text and drawings shows at a glance the ways in which different features of classicism have been interpreted. This book also demonstrates the extent to which the language of this architecture pervades our culture and lays down essential guidelines for the correct application of its principles.
