The year 1992 was a milestone in the long debate between the Classical and Modernist camps, as it witnessed the unprecedented coincidence of two major classical exhibitions on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean: 'A Vision of Europe', which was inaugurated by HRH The Prince of Wales on 29th September at the appropriately classical setting of San Giorgio in Poggiale in the heart of Bologna; and 'Building America - Conference on the work of Emerging Classical Architects', held on 30th October, organised by the newly-formed Classical Architecture League at the stately Greek Revival Lyceum in Alexandria, Virginia. This book features the compiled work from the exhibitions, together with the symposium transcripts. The material makes it clear that the new classicism has moved beyond the realm of the esquisse - everywhere, classical and traditional buildings are being erected. Comparative study of the American and British interpretations of classicism. Introduced by well-known theorist and practitioner Demetri Porphyries. Foreword for The 'Vision of Europe' by HRH The Prince of Wales. Highlights the latest projects by leading figures in New Classicism including Robert Stern, John Simpson, Rob Krier and Allan Greenberg. Essays by David Watkin, Carroll William Westfall, and Thomas Gordon Smith lay out the new directions charted by this book.
