Synopsis
The Course And Current Of Architecture: Being An Historical Account Of The Origin, Successive And Simultaneous Development, Relations, Periods, And Characteristics Of Its Various Known Styles by Samuel Huggins. This work surveys architecture as an integrated art, tracing Civil, Military, and Naval architecture and arguing that beauty, function, and scientific principles are interdependent. It begins with an origin in Egyptian architecture and follows a chain of styles—from Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian, Lycian, Pelasgic, Greek, Etruscan, and Roman—through Christian Romanesque and Byzantine, Saracenic, Indian, Chinese, Peruvian and Mexican, to the Italian Renaissance and its offshoots in France, Spain, England, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, and Russia. It offers a synoptic table of styles, notes, and discussions of the mutual influences among cultures, the role of religion and race, and how later styles revived, merged, or diverged. The author also contemplates the future of architecture, advocating a national English expression grounded in classic columnar forms while embracing modern materials and cross-cultural ideas.
