4to (31 cm), 240 pp. Publisher's cloth with dust jacket (minor shelf wear, bookplate). New Classicism offers a comprehensive exploration of a form of architectural design once thought lost with the rise of modernism, now experiencing a vibrant revival as interest in classical principles resurges and postmodernism declines in influence. Focusing on approximately thirty exemplary projects by leading classically oriented firms in the United States and Britain, the book highlights the diversity and vitality of contemporary classical design. Among the featured works are the refined eighteenth-century-inspired interior reconfigurations of the U.S. State Department by John Blateau and Alan Greenberg, the Nashville Public Library designed by Robert A. M. Stern, and projects emerging from the classical design program at the University of Notre Dame. Through detailed analysis and abundant illustrations, New Classicism presents a dazzling array of disciplined, high-profile projects that demonstrate how traditional forms and motifs continue to inspire architects and designers today.…

New Classicism provides an in-depth look at a form of design that appeared lost forever with the rise of modernism in architecture. But now, with an intense revival of interest in classical design, and with the demise in popularity of the subsequent postmodernism, new vigor has infused traditional forms and motifs. Focusing on approximately thirty projects by the best classically oriented firms in the United States and Britain, New Classicism examines this burgeoning new vogue for the many varieties of traditional classical design.
The result is a dazzling array of highly disciplined and high-profile classical designs, ranging from the exquisite work of John Blateau and Alan Greenberg's eighteenth-century-inspired reconfiguration of the interiors of the U.S. State Department to the Nashville public library designed by Robert A. M. Stern and projects from the classical-design program at the University of Notre Dame.
