Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Architecture: Gothic And Renaissance (1908) is a book written by Thomas Roger Smith, an English architect and writer. The book is a comprehensive study of two of the most important architectural styles of the medieval and early modern periods, Gothic and Renaissance. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on Gothic architecture and the second part on Renaissance architecture. In the first part, Smith explores the origins and development of Gothic architecture, tracing its evolution from the Romanesque style and its spread throughout Europe. He examines the key features of Gothic architecture, including the pointed arch, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses, and discusses the social and cultural context in which it emerged.In the second part of the book, Smith turns his attention to Renaissance architecture, which he describes as a ''rebirth'' of classical forms and motifs. He discusses the key features of Renaissance architecture, including symmetry, proportion, and the use of classical orders, and explores the ways in which it was influenced by ancient Roman and Greek architecture. He also examines the social and cultural context in which Renaissance architecture emerged, including the rise of humanism and the rediscovery of classical texts.Throughout the book, Smith provides numerous examples of Gothic and Renaissance architecture, including churches, palaces, and public buildings, and he includes detailed illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the key features of each style. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of architecture, and it remains an important work in the field more than a century after its initial publication.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
