Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Architecture is the work of Fiske Kimball, an Assistant Professor of Architecture at The University of Michigan, and George Harold Edgell, an Assistant Professor of Fine Arts at Harvard University. Kimball went on to become the Director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where he served for more than thirty years. There are few people more qualified to have written the history of architecture then these two. A History of Architecture begins with an overview of the principles of architecture, which at their most simplistic are the need to provide an enclosed space from the elements. From this brief introduction the authors launch into a detailed analysis of architecture throughout history. Beginning with prehistoric and pre-classical architecture, the book analyzes the architectural principles of various peoples throughout history, from Greek and Roman, to Byzantine and Gothic, to Modern and American. This is a complete and thorough analysis of the history of architecture. Including more than 300 illustrations, the words of Edgell and Kimball are accompanied by pictures intended to further the reader's understanding of the subject. As a history book, A History of Architecture is a massive success. The depth and breadth of this work are impressive. The writing is authoritative and concise, and the revelations uncovered in a people's architecture are eye opening. It feels very much like the authors have written the definitive work on architectural history, or at least one that will remain indispensible for at least one hundred more years. This text is recommended for all history enthusiasts and anybody interested in architectural history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Architecture, Classic and Early Christian (Classic Reprint) written by T. Roger Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Architecture, Classic and Early Christian This handbook is intended to give such an outline of the Architecture of the Ancient World, and of that of Christen dom down to the period of the Crusades, as, without attempting to supply the minute information required by the professional student, may give a general idea of the works of the great building nations of Antiquity and the Early Christian times. Its chief object has been to place information on the subject within the reach of those persons of literary or artistic education who desire to become in some degree acquainted with Architecture. All technicalities which could be dispensed with have been accordingly excluded; and when it has been un avoidable that a technical word or phrase should occur, an explanation has been added either in the text or in the glossary; but as this volume and the companion one on Gothic and Renaissance Architecture are, in effect, two divisions of the same work, it has not been thought necessary to repeat in the glossary given with this part the words explained in that prefixed to the other. In treating so very wide a field, it has been felt that the chief prominence should be given to that great sequence of architectural styles which form the links of a chain connecting the architecture of modern Europe with the earliest specimens of the art. Egypt, Assyria, and Persia combined to furnish the foundation upon which the splendid architecture of the Greeks was based.

(Alfred Dwight Foster) Hamlin and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-07 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Text-Book of the History of Architecture Seventh Edition, revised By A. D. F. (Alfred Dwight Foster) Hamlin PREFACE. The aim of this work has been to sketch the various periods and styles of architecture with the broadest possible strokes, and to mention, with such brief characterization as seemed permissible or necessary, the most important works of each period or style. Extreme condensation in presenting the leading facts of architectural history has been necessary, and much that would rightly claim place in a larger work has been omitted here. The danger was felt to be rather in the direction of too much detail than of too little. While the book is intended primarily to meet the special requirements of the college student, those of the general reader have not been lost sight of. The majority of the technical terms used are defined or explained in the context, and the small remainder in a glossary at the end of the work. Extended criticism and minute description were out of the question, and discussion of controverted points has been in consequence as far as possible avoided. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

This book was released on 2016-09-15 with total page 838 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Architecture on the Comparative Method: For the Student, Craftsman, and Amateur IN the Preface to the Fourth Edition I explained the many important additions which had been made since the original publication of this book in 1896, and I desire to point out that in the present Edition the nature of the revision has been on an even more extensive scale, amounting to the rewriting of the greater portion of the work. While much new matter has been intro duced, the importance of a thorough revision of that already existing has not been overlooked, the utmost care having been taken to verify all important statements and dates, and to amplify such descriptions where this appeared desirable. These remarks as to the text, apply equally to the illustrations, which have been increased by the addition of some 700, bringing their total up to about Many of the subjects shown in the previous editions have been re-drawn and corrected in the light of the most recent discoveries. The sale of four large editions in the space of a few years affords strong evidence that the book has been of service not only to the strictly professional student and those connected with design in its application to the minor arts and crafts, but also to that larger body of amateurs to whom Architectural History is year by year becoming a matter of lively interest. It is gratifying to know that it has been adopted as a text-book in Art Schools and in the leading Colleges and Technical Institutions of Great Britain, the United States of America, and Australia, for it is upon these centres we must depend for the formation of a cultivated taste, and the future growth of interest in the Arts.
