Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the art of architecture, written in a time of great classical revival in Europe. The author delves into the fundamental principles of design, drawing on the timeless wisdom of the ancient Greeks and Romans, and contrasting these with the more ostentatious trends of contemporary architectural practice. The book's primary focus is on achieving true beauty in architecture by adhering to natural principles, advocating a return to the simplicity and elegance of the classical orders. The author meticulously dissects the individual components of each order ââ â the column, the entablature, the pediment ââ â offering insightful observations on their essential forms and appropriate uses. He criticizes architectural excesses of his time, particularly the use of pilasters, arches, pediments placed above pediments, and the gratuitous use of ornamentation, arguing that such embellishments often detract from the inherent beauty of the building's core elements. This book offers a fresh perspective on the enduring principles of architectural design, urging architects to embrace simplicity and a deep understanding of natural forms in their creative endeavors.
