Synopsis
Architecture, Part 1 by Hezekiah Howe. This instructional volume introduces young readers to architecture and its practical and historical aspects. Part I, Ancient Architecture, surveys the origins of shelter and building across civilizations, from primitive huts and tents to monumental Egyptian pyramids and temples, Indian cave temples at Elephanta, Salsette, Ellora, Persepolis in Persia, and Chinese pagodas. Howe explains basic architectural terms such as architrave, frieze, cornice, base, capital, and shaft, and discusses how different cultures used materials and forms—from wooden huts to stone capitals and columns. The book emphasizes the progress of civil architecture, and it includes aims of making architecture a useful, interesting subject in schools, with accompanying questions after chapters. It references biblical and classical sources and presents a comparative view of early architectures while underscoring the social costs of monumental constructions and the universal human drive to build.
