Synopsis

Architectural Technology up to the Scientific Revolution examines innovative structures in eras that saw the development of new, large-scale building types and describes the modern scientific tools for clarifying the technological circumstances and the design techniques employed by pre-Enlightenment builders. Illustrated with over 200 diagrams and photographs, chapters follow a sequence from the ground up - looking at the most generally taught western monuments in the light of soils and foundations, walls and other masonry, piers, arches, and buttresses, masonry domes and vaults, and timber roofs and spires.
