The classical America series in art and architecture

"The classical elements and their combinations are no longer a standard part of architectural education, and may appear arbitrary and dogmatic. Offering a rationale for design rules, this book explains the principles of classical design in a clear and lively form. It presents drawing instruction and tested design strategies to the reader, experienced or not. Each stage includes a series of design problems, beginning with simple ones and increasing in complexity for the reader to address or study as models. The recent classical buildings discussed in the final section testify to the variety and vitality of the current classical revival. They presage the most interesting developments in the architecture of the twenty-first century."--Jacket.
