Exquisitely Illustrated Encyclopedia of Classical Form
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
The ne plus ultra of visual references for classical design. Treats each component independently, both verbally and visually, and helps one aquire a weighted and balanced perspective on the full range of formal options. The perfect companion to Sir John Summerson's slight but powerful Classical Language. Highly recommended.
