Synopsis
Excerpt from Architecture an Introduction to the History and Theory of the Art of Building
Even in an historical narrative it may be possible to bring out principles and ideas rather than to describe examples, and the writer would, above all, like to suggest a general theory of architecture as a result of the survey of the past. To anticipate, it may be said here that great art is not a question Of shapes and appearances which may be Copied, it is fine response to noble require ment; a living architecture is always being hurled forward from change to change.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Architecture is not merely the art of styling buildings. It's the art of making spaces for living and working; it's the art of making civilized places. This book traces the origins and evolution of architectureâ"not just as a technical discipline, but as a field influenced by both practicality and decoration. Beginning with the prehistoric, the author takes the reader on a chronological journey starting with the Neolithic period, tracing the evolution of building techniques, materials, and aesthetics through ancient Egypt, Babylonia, and Greece up to the modern era. Along the way, the book examines the ways in which architecture has reflected the social, religious, and political values of different cultures. The author believes that the strength and continuity of the architectural tradition is based on the idea that architecture is about serving life and beauty, about making perfect containers for human use and contemplation. Full of interesting details about design, building methods, and the influence of decoration, the book shows how architecture is both a product of its time and a timeless art form. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
