Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a vision of architecture that prioritizes natural beauty and simplicity. The author begins by examining the origins of architecture, specifically the humble hut, and posits that every element of a building should serve a purpose. This leads to his core argument that the column, entablature, and pediment are the only essential components of an architectural order. He then examines different orders of architecture and assesses their strengths and shortcomings, offering guidance on how to use them effectively. The book also covers various topics such as the placement of windows and doors, the use of niches, and the importance of avoiding unnecessary ornamentation. Ultimately, the author aims to guide architects toward creating buildings that are both aesthetically pleasing and structurally sound, while encouraging them to strive for perfection through the avoidance of defects. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
