Synopsis
This book traces the principles of design in architecture from the earliest structures to the refined temples of ancient Greece. The author argues that utility was the foundation of all architectural designs, but that over time, the desire for beauty and grandeur led to the development of more elaborate and ornamental styles. The book examines the influence of materials and construction techniques on architectural form, and discusses the relationship between the useful and the graceful in design. It also explores the origins of the three classical Greek architectural orders—the Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian—and their subsequent development and influence on Western architecture. Through a detailed analysis of specific buildings and architectural elements, the author provides a comprehensive understanding of the principles that have shaped the built environment throughout history. This book is an essential resource for architects, architectural historians, and anyone interested in the origins and evolution of architectural design.
