This book, a second volume in a series, is dedicated to the study of the five orders of architecture, taught by the author to great success during his thirty years as an architecture professor. The author believed that a solid understanding of the orders was a vital tool in an architect's arsenal. The book focuses primarily on the Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, and Composite orders as interpreted by Vignola, Palladio, and Scamozzi. Each order is broken down and analyzed by its constituent parts: pedestal, base, column, capital, and entablature. The author provides historical context for each order, showing its evolution over time. He discusses the proper use of each order in architectural design, emphasizing how an architect can play with the size, scale, and proportion of the orders to create different effects. The author's approach provides invaluable lessons in design, helping both students and experienced architects excel in their profession and understand the nuances of each order.
