About this Item

In this large, profusely illustrated book, the firm's work since its last monograph 15 years ago is highlighted. The new book, Porphyrios Associates: The Allure of the Classical, features residential projects in Greece, Jordan, England, France, and the U.S., and other major new projects in Germany, Egypt, and at Oxford, Cambridge, and Princeton Universities. A celebration of new traditional buildings by a renowned classicist. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
