7th Printing, 1997. The spine has faded a bit, likely from exposure to the sun; likewise, the left and upper edges of the front covers have also faded (see pictures to see the difference). The covers have some light wear and minor creasing. A small number of pages have small creases / bends in the upper corners. The pages are free from markings and highlighting. See pictures for more details.

Drawing from Vitruvius, the poetics of Aristotle, the theories of classical architecture, music, and poetry since the Renaissance, and the poetics of the Russian formalists, the authors present classical architecture as a coherent system of architectural thinking that is capable of producing a tragic humanistic discourse, a public art with critical, moral, and philosophical meaning.
