Description and Table of Contents
Description
The approach of this book is to see architectural history as a living continuity rather than a museum of neatly labelled styles. The author emphasizes the validity and vitality of the classical language of architecture which links, for instance, the work of Ictinus in 5th-century Athens with that of McKim, Mead and White in 20th-century New York.
