Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
Quinlan Terry is a British architect and a well-known representative of New Classical architecture. He has received several awards for his work.
Charles III, King of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms. Besides his official royal duties, he is involved in many charities and has a keen interest in, and dedication to, architecture and art.
The British architect Quinlan Terry has created this book as the ultimate guide to classical architecture. With detailed sketches, he illustrates both the principals of which Classical architecture is based and the ornament that enriches it. The tradition of this architecture persisted into the 20th century, when other ideals began to take over. Terry, who is a strong advocate of classical architecture, wants to refocus on the kind of architecture which was dominant in the western world for almost 2,000 years, but whose background and structure is little known today. The book contains many of Quinlan Terry's drawings, sketches from travels and linoleum prints. The preface is written by Prince Charles, who holds Quinlan Terry as one of the top contemporary architects.

Hardback. Etat : New. How do you draw a column? What distinguishes the different orders of columns, and is it really possible for anyone at all to learn how to interpret classical architecture? Quinlan Terry, one of the world's most noted classical architects, has designed cathedrals, castles, villas and university buildings in traditional style. All of his knowledge has now been gathered in The Layman's Guide to Classical Architecture, a complete guide to the rudiments of classical architecture.Using his own drawings and sketches, Quinlan Terry shows step-by-step the structure of the different orders of columns, the relevance of proportions and the importance of the right materials and construction. The book is a contemporary version of the many pattern books in history that previously taught the same knowledge to architects, artisans and clients.Today a wider group of people can benefit greatly from learning about classical architecture, both as historical background and as inspiration for today. The foreword is written by King Charles III, who has worked in partnership with Quinlan Terry for many years. N° de réf. du vendeur LU-9789189069817
