A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Instruction Papers of the American School of Correspondence inC hicago, with the accompanying Plates. These Instruction Papers, forming a simple but comprehensive treatise on The Five Orders of A rchitecture, were prepared with the special purpose of giving correspondence students a clear, concise description of the Classic Orders and the system of proportions to which theO rders were reduced by the Renaissance architects the system still employed in the best architectural offices to-day in reproducing these forms. C. To acquaint persons interested in A rchitecturewith the standard of instruction offered by theS chool, and to meet a demand from architects and draftsmen for a simpler yet more comprehensive reference work on theO rders than now available, these Instruction Papers originally intended exclusively for the students of theS chool are offered to the public. 41. The general method followed in laying out theO rders is that employed in theE cole des Beaux A rts, Paris, but simplified. In addition, there are a number of valuable Plates illustrating the methods of Vignola, Palladio, Biihlmann, Mauch, and other authorities. All the Plates have been carefully selected, analyzed, and explained by architects of acknowledged professional standing.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
