Summary:
In this illustrated survey, British architect Quinlan Terry presents his guide to classical architecture. With intricate sketches, he explains the classical orders of architecture that were created by Vitruvius around 100 AD. The tradition of building using these orders was maintained well into the 20th century, until modernism began to dominate architecture. With this book, Terry, a strong proponent of classical architecture, aims to place focus on the kind of architecture that dominated the field for almost 2,000 years in the West—the vocabulary and heritage of which is known by few today.

Summary:
Are they frivolous or practical? Follies are buildings constructed primarily for decoration, but they suggest another purpose through their appearance. In this book, Celia Fisher describes follies in their historical and architectural context, looks at their social and political significance, and highlights their relevance today.
