"This book aims to initiate all who are concerned with the design of buildings into first principles of arrangement, irrespective of style, period or fashion, and its scope is deliberately focussed on the most elementary of known forms. The culminating periods of Greek and Roman architecture have here been drawn upon as well as the whole range of matured Renaissance architecture in Europe, and the book has been compiled not only from actual buildings but also from the wider field of projected designs. In the illustrations, all the buildings and motifs are presented in their simplest aspect, free from confusing detail, so that the main lines of the various schemes can be understood at a glance and the different forms compared."--BOOK JACKET.
