Sinossi
Excerpt from The Poetry of Architecture: Poems Giotto and His Works in Padua
The Science of Architecture, followed out to its full extent, is one of the noblest of those which have reference only to the creations of human minds. It is not merely a science of the rule and compass, it does not consist only in the observation of just rule, or of fair proportion: it is, or ought to be, a science of feeling more than of rule, a ministry to the mind, more than to the eye. If we consider how much less the beauty and majesty of a building depend upon its pleasing certain prejudices of the eye, than upon its rousing certain trains of meditation in the mind, it will show in a moment how many intricate questions of feeling are involved in the raising of an edifice; it will convince us of the truth of a proposition, which might at first have appeared startling, that no man can be an architect, who is not a metaphysician.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an indispensable guide to the history, character, and architectural potential of the humble cottage. Its focus on the "poetry" of architecture examines the ways in which buildings can evoke emotion and engage with their surroundings. The author traces the evolution of the cottage from its humble origins, to the way it has been adapted to its situation in different countries. This book explores the relationship between architecture and national character, as well as how buildings can inspire certain feelings. Through detailed analysis of examples from England, France, Italy, and Switzerland, the author reveals the subtle variations in cottage design that reflect the unique spirit of each nation.
