paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The True Principles of Pointed or Christian Architecture: Set Forth in Two Lectures is a book written by Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin in 1841. Pugin was a prominent British architect and designer who played a significant role in the Gothic Revival movement of the 19th century. In this book, Pugin argues that the Gothic style of architecture, also known as Pointed or Christian architecture, is the only true form of architecture for Christian worship. He believes that the classical style, which was popular in the 18th and early 19th centuries, is inappropriate for Christian buildings because it lacks the spiritual and symbolic qualities that Gothic architecture embodies.Pugin's arguments are based on his interpretation of medieval architecture, which he sees as the pinnacle of Christian architectural achievement. He discusses the various elements of Gothic architecture, such as pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses, and explains how they contribute to the spiritual atmosphere of a building.The book is divided into two lectures. The first lecture provides an overview of Pugin's philosophy of architecture and his critique of classical architecture. The second lecture focuses on the practical aspects of Gothic architecture, such as construction techniques and the use of materials.Overall, The True Principles of Pointed or Christian Architecture is an important work in the history of architecture and a key text for understanding the Gothic Revival movement. It remains relevant today as a testament to the enduring appeal of Gothic architecture and its continued influence on contemporary design.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
