"Classical Architecture" Description:
The Open Library:
"This well-illustrated book describes the fundamental principles and various aspects of Classical architecture, including a detailed, illustrated glossary that is almost a dictionary of Classical architecture in itself. Professor James Stevens Curl discusses in clear, straightforward language the origins of Classical architecture in Greek and Roman Antiquity and outlines its continuous development, through its various manifestations during the Renaissance, its transformations in Baroque and Rococo phases, its re-emergence in eighteenth-, nineteenth-, and twentieth-century Neoclassicism, and its survival into the modern era. The text and illustrations celebrate the richness of the Classical architectural vocabulary, grammar, and language, and demonstrate the enormous range of themes and motifs found in the subject."--BOOK JACKET.
