Trade Paperback. Condizione: Used - Good. 'This essay on our profound and daily relationship to classical forms is fairly boggling in its scholarship, its scope, its freedom from cant, and also in Rykwert's fresh reading of meanings vested in the orders that 'have dominated Western architecture for nearly three millennia.''-- 'V…illage Voice Literary Supplement' Joseph Rykwert is one of the major architectural historians of this century, and 'The Dancing Column' is his most controversial and challenging work to date. A decade in preparation, it is a deeply erudite, clearly written, and wide-ranging deconstruction of the system of column and beam known as the 'orders of architecture, ' tracing the powerful and persistent analogy between columns and/or buildings and the human body.

Paperback. Condizione: Very good. First Edition. 22 x 27cm 600pp very good paperback. Joseph Rykwert is one of the major architectural historians of this century, whose full humanistic understanding of architecture and its historical significance is unrivaled. The Dancing Column is certain to be his most controversial and challe…nging work to date. A decade in preparation, it is a deeply erudite, clearly written, and wide-ranging deconstruction of the system of column and beam known as the "orders of architecture," tracing the powerful and persistent analogy between columns and/or buildings and the human body. The body-column metaphor is as old as architectural thought, informing the works of Vitruvius, Alberti, and many later writers; but The Dancing Column is the first comprehensive treatment to do this huge subject full justice. It provides a new critical examination of the way the classical orders, which have dominated Western architecture for nearly three millennia, were first formulated. Rykwert opens with a review of their consequence for the leading architects of the twentieth century, and then traces ideas related to them in accounts of sacred antiquity and in scientific doctrines of humor and character. The body-column metaphor is traced in archaeological material from Egypt, Asia Minor, and the Levant, as well as from Greece, drawing on recent accounts by historians. Text puntuated by black and white reproductions. A heavy book, may need extra postage.

"Joseph Rykwert is one of the major architectural historians of this century, whose full humanistic understanding of architecture and its historical significance is unrivaled. T…he Dancing Column is certain to be his most controversial and challenging work to date. A decade in preparation, it is a deeply erudite, clearly written, and wide-ranging deconstruction of the system of column and beam known as the "orders of architecture," tracing the powerful and persistent analogy between columns and/or buildings and the human body. The body-column metaphor is as old as architectural thought, informing the works of Vitruvius, Alberti, and many later writers; but The Dancing Column is the first comprehensive treatment to do this huge subject full justice. It provides a new critical examination of the way the classical orders, which have dominated Western architecture for nearly three millennia, were first formulated. Rykwert opens with a review of their consequence for the leading architects of the twentieth century, and then traces ideas related to them in accounts of sacred antiquity and in scientific doctrines of humor and character. The body-column metaphor is traced in archaeological material from Egypt, Asia Minor, and the Levant, as well as from Greece, drawing on recent accounts by hi storians of Greek religion and society as well as the latest discoveries of archaeologists. Perhaps most important, Rykwert reexamines its significance for the formation of any theoretical view of architecture. Chapters cover an astonishing breadth of material, including the notions of a set number and a proportional as well as an ornamental rule of the orders; the theological-philosophical interpretatio Christiana of antiquity on which the domination of the orders relied; the astrological and geometrical canon of the human figure; gender and column; the body as a constantly refashioned cultural product; the Greek temple building and the nature of cult; and the endurance of ornamental forms and the function of symbols." Contents are as follows: List of illustrations -- Preface -- Order in buildings -- Order in the body -- The body and the world -- Gender and column -- The literary commonplace -- The rule and the song -- The hero as a column -- The known and the seen -- The mask, the horns, and the eyes -- The corinthian virgin -- A native column? -- Order or intercourse -- Notes -- Abbreviations and ancient texts -- Bibliography -- Index. VG: Exlibrary book. Stamp on inside front cover. Stamp on last page. Sticker and due date card on inside back cover.

Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 4to (26.5 cm), XVIII, 598 pp. Publisher's laminated wrappers (minor shelf-wear). A stimulating and erudite study of the classical orders in architecture, in which Rykwert explores the column not merely as a structural element but as a bearer of cultural meaning and symbolic form. Drawing on sou…rces from antiquity through the Renaissance to modern theory, he examines how the Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian orders were understood, codified, and transformed, engaging with figures such as Vitruvius, Leon Battista Alberti, and Andrea Palladio. Rykwert combines historical analysis with philosophical reflection, arguing that architectural order embodies ideas about nature, proportion, and the human body, making the column a "dancing" element that mediates between structure, ornament, and meaning. A major contribution to architectural history and theory.
