Excerpt from Studies in Architecture
I have aimed at recalling attention to the fact that architecture is not a mystery to be jealously concealed from the uninitiated, or a go as you please affair without principles or tradition, but an expression of the human intelligence, conditioned by the same laws and capable of the same critical analysis as any other imaginative and intellectual effort. For my short; comings in this endeavour, I must plead the limited opportunity possible to a writer whose principal work lies elsewhere.

Excerpt from Studies in Architecture
The following Essays are connected rather by the method of treatment attempted than by subject. Architecture is a difficult art, and it is less popular in England than in other countries. The reason is, I believe, that writers have dealt with architecture either as an affair of dates and technicalities or as a vehicle for moral disquisition. The first method has little interest for the layman, and the latter none at all for the artist. The result has been that architecture, considered as an art, has dropped out of the main stream of educated thought, and has lost touch of that intelligent interest which is freely accorded to the sister arts. The problem for the critic is, I think, to find in architecture the personal equation of the architect, to read his personality in his works, and to find a clue to his works in his personality. After all, the vital interest of architecture is the human interest, not merely the reflection of social habit in buildings, but that play of personal temperament, which is as clearly traceable in the works of architects as it is in those of painters and sculptors. It is to this point that I have addressed myself in the following Essays.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history of architecture in medieval Western Europe, exploring the complex and intriguing influences that shaped the development of Romanesque architecture. The author argues that Romanesque architecture is not simply a precursor to Gothic, but a distinct and innovative style with its own unique characteristics and origins. Drawing upon extensive research and analysis of surviving buildings, the author traces the evolution of Romanesque architecture from its roots in Byzantine and Lombardic traditions to its eventual spread across Western Europe. Along the way, the book sheds light on the role of individual architects, the influence of cultural exchange, and the impact of social and religious factors on architectural design. Ultimately, this book offers a fresh perspective on the origins and significance of Romanesque architecture, providing valuable insights for architects, art historians, and anyone interested in the evolution of Western architecture. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781440037344_0
