Synopsis
In this large format (10x12"), lavishly illustrated (with line drawings and color photographs) study, Porphyrios, architectural theorist and practicing architect in London, focuses on the profound (and continuing) influence of classical Greek and Roman design and construction techniques in current architectural and building practices. He not only shows how the techniques have affected both postmodern and neomodern architecture throughout the Western world, but also probes a wide range of related aspects by delving into the roles of imitation, tectonics, ornament, and originality in architecture.
