Originally published in 1756, "A treatise on civil architecture" is an architecture handbook in which Chambers explains the basics of the art of building, aiming "to collect into one volume what is now dispersed in a great many, and to select, from mountains of promiscuous Materials, a Series of Sound Precepts and good Designs." The guidebook is supplemented by texts andl illustrations of classical building types and their functions. Received with considerable acclaim upon its release, "A treatise on civil architecture" quickly became the most popular practical work on architecture in the English language and has since been republished several times.

Probablement liées à la pratique de la marqueterie, ces planches étranges sont fascinantes en ce qu’elles offrent à voir des paysages totalement imaginaires dont les « fausses perspectives » ne sont pas sans rappeler l’oeuvre bien ultérieure de M. C. Escher.

Offering theoretical and practical solutions to a wide variety of architectural issues, this treatise did not, however, address all of the questions that were of concern to early modern architects. This study examines the Italian Renaissance architect's efforts to negotiate between imitation and reinvention of classicism. Through a close reading of Vitruvius and texts written during the period 1400-1600, Alina Payne identifies ornament as the central issue around which much of this debate focused.

La collection des plans-reliefs a été créée en 1668 par Louvois, ministre de la guerre de Louis XIV. Outils employés pour la conception de nouvelles fortifications, puis œuvres de prestige servant la glorification de la puissance des souverains, ces plans-reliefs, chefs-d'œuvre de miniaturisation, offrent le témoignage de plus de deux siècles d'histoire de la fortification bastionnée, de la guerre de siège et de la constitution du territoire, de Louis XIV au XIXe siècle. Ils constituent une source documentaire unique pour l'histoire de la fortification, de l'urbanisme, de l'architecture et du paysage des anciens Pays-Bas français.

For classical architects, the term Palladian stands for a vocabulary of architectural forms embodying perfection and beauty. Of even greater significance than Palladio's buildings is his treatise I quattro libri dell'architettura (The Four Books On Architecture), the most successful architectural treatise of the Renaissance and one of the two or three most important books in the literature of architecture. This is the first English translation of Palladio in over 250 years, making it the only translation available in modern English. This new translation by Robert Tavernor and Richard Schofield contains Palladio's original woodcuts, reproduced in facsimile and positioned correctly, adjacent to the text. The book also contains a glossary that explains technical terms in their original context, a bibliography of recent Palladio research, and an introduction to Palladio and his times.
