Description
Joseph Rykwert is one of the major architectural historians of this century. 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." Rykwert traces the analogy between columns and/or buildings and the human body. Contains many color illustrations.
