Pictorial wrappers, ownership inscription of Bengt Lagerkvist (1926-2013). A few markings in pencil. Ithaca, Cornell University Press, 1977. Paperback. 200 pp. Illustrated. With index. (Publisher:) "Ancient Greek Architects at Work approaches a formative historical period in architectural development through its architects. Coulton considers the relations of the architect to the society in which he worked, and shows him as designer, structural engineer, and primary director of workmen. By examining neglected written and built evidence he identifies the problems the architect most commonly encountered and reconstructs his solutions. Coulton assesses the Greek architect's techniques and contributions to structural design while evaluating his theoretical knowledge of mechanics and practical understanding of structural concepts. This book's fine illustrations include original Greek plans and elevations redrawn to scale, as well as photographs of relevant remaining building fragments".
