Synopsis

Remarks On Secular And Domestic Architecture: Present And Future is a book written by George Gilbert Scott and published in 1857. The book is a comprehensive analysis of the state of secular and domestic architecture at the time and provides insights into the future of architecture. Scott, a prominent architect of his time, discusses the importance of architecture in society and how it can reflect the values and aspirations of a community. He examines various styles of architecture, including Gothic, Classical, and Renaissance, and their relevance in contemporary architecture. The book also delves into the practical aspects of architecture, such as the use of materials, construction techniques, and the role of the architect in the building process. Scott provides examples of successful architectural projects, as well as those that have failed to meet the expectations of their creators.In addition, the book offers a vision for the future of architecture, with Scott advocating for a return to the principles of the Gothic style, which he believed emphasized beauty, functionality, and durability. He also emphasizes the importance of incorporating modern technology and materials into architecture while maintaining a respect for tradition and history.Overall, Remarks On Secular And Domestic Architecture: Present And Future is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and evolution of architecture and the role it plays in shaping society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
