Greek Refinements: Studies in Temperamental Architecture (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandDa: Forgotten Books, London, Regno Unito
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is the first installment of a study on the architectural refinements of the ancient Greeks. Until recently, these refinements were wholly unknown, with scholars completely unaware of their existence until 1837. Discovered independently by the English architect John Pennethorne and the German architect Joseph Hoffer in the 1830s, these refinements would not receive widespread attention until much later, with the 1851 publication of Francis Cranmer Penrose's An Investigation of the Principles of Athenian Architecture. This book delves into these refinements and their implications, with particular focus on the horizontal curvature found in the stylobate, entablature, and gables of Greek temples. While other scholars have attempted to explain these refinements as optical corrections for downward sagging, this book presents conclusive evidence to the contrary. Instead, it suggests that these modulations were designed to avoid monotony, accentuate desirable effects, and prevent unpleasant ones. These insights significantly contribute to our understanding of the architectural philosophies employed by the ancient Greeks, while highlighting their pursuit of aesthetic and structural perfection. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Codice articolo 9781330700907_0
