Softcover. glossy violet wraps w/ white printing. 228 pgs w/ bw illustrations. "The recent revival of interest in classical architecture needs to be matched by a high degree of literacy in the use of the orders if it is to be taken seriously. Presenting a modern interpretation of renaissance rules of proportion, the second editi…on of this successful title now includes both 100-part (metric) and 96-part (imperial) systems of proportioning the orders. These are underpinned by an essay, written by Calder Loth, on James Gibbs, 18th century architect and inventor of a new fractional system of proportions, and his influence on American classical architecture. With the inclusion of additional plates, the book provides a clear introduction and valuable guidance to assist architects and designers with the basic grammar of classical design"--WorldCat.
