Summary:
"Lavishly illustrated and accessibly written,
Classical
Architecture
takes the reader on a journey through the history of this iconic architectural genre, starting with an introduction to its origins in ancient Greece, through its resurgence across Europe during the Renaissance, to its influence on modern-day architectural design in locations as diverse as Shanghai and Washington DC. Written by Professor of
Architecture
and established author Andrew Ballantyne, and illustrated with over 100 photographs, this book will prove invaluable to anyone wanting to explore and understand this important and pervasive architectural style.
Classical
architecture
has developed through many styles to become the backbone of western
architecture
. It was refined in ancient Greece mainly in sacred places. This
architecture
of finely modelled columns was taken up by the Romans and spread across their empire, changing on the way, so by the time the Roman empire collapsed it had become an
architecture
of arches and vaults. The monuments were impressive, even as ruins, and inspired imitation in later ages."--Publisher.
