About this title

Synopsis:

Reissued in a new format, with a new introductory essay by Paul Barolsky (University of Virginia) and an expanded portfolio of illustrations compiled by Henry Hope Reed, who wrote the foreword to the book when it was reprinted more than a quarter-century ago, The Architecture of Humanism remains, as Barolsky writes, "one of the classics in the modern literature on architecture." It is recommended reading for all students of architecture and art history, and essential for everyone interested in the revival of classical architecture.

About the Author:
