Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First and Chief Groundes of Architecture There are passages which serve to Show that Shute had made genuine observations of buildings in Italy. He brings to his subject some independent thought, as in his passage on the diminution of Orders upwards. He clearly felt that the expression of character in a building was as necessary as the Orders themselves, although he sets out to illustrate them as the first and chief grounds of architecture. He would like a building to be Doric, Ionic or Corinthian in character rather than to be an exhibition of all the Orders. When adding a special plinth, like the moulded riser of a step, under the complete pedestals of the Ionic and Corinthian he justifies himself as follows.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text-Book of the History of Architecture 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 permissi ble 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 gen eral 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. Ex tended criticism and minute description were out of the question, and discussion of controverted points has been in consequence as far as possible avoided.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of Books Relating to Architecture Most of the difficulties attending the preparation of such a catalogue are too evident to need comment; the majority Of them have to be settled arbitrarily, and only a few points require explanation. Any one familiar with recent archaeological investigations will realize the impossibility of drawing, in such a catalogue, a distinct line between archaeology and architecture. In the present instance it has been deemed advisable to err, if at all, by expanding the first-named subject, although many brief archaeological studies containing a few plates of mosaics, mural decoration, or architectural detail have been omitted. Biography has occasioned difficulties in selection in the case of such artists as Raphael, Michelangelo and Leonardo, whose work includes archi tecture and decoration. Although the great bulk of biographical material dealing with these men has been rejected, enough has been included to supply ample data on their work in this field.

Book excerpt: In The Building in the Text, Roy Eriksen shows that Renaissance writers conceived of their texts in accordance with architectural principles. His approach opens the way to wide-ranging discussions of the structure and meaning of a variety of literary texts and also provides new insights into the famed architectural ekphrases of Alberti and Vasari. Analyzing such words as &"plot,&" &"topos,&" &"fabrica,&" and &"stanza,&" Eriksen discloses the fundamental spatial symmetries and complexities in the writings of Ariosto, Shakespeare, and Milton, among other major figures. Ultimately, his book uncovers and clarifies a tradition of literary architecture that is rooted in antiquity and based on correspondences regarded as ordering principles of the cosmos. Eriksen&’s book will be of interest to art historians, historians of literature, and those concerned with the classical heritage, rhetoric, music, and architecture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Architectural Composition No man of true education has ever attained the commandership of an army or to the presidency of a nation because these positions are highly remunerative, but because he found in them his calling. If the student architect likewise feels the calling to educate through art, or if at least he.is conscious of the influence his work is to have in inculcating into the masses the guiding principles of truth and service allied to beauty, then let him be ushered into the assembly of his elders. He certainly must be aware that if the generation of to-morrow shows proclivities for good citizenship, high aspirations, refined taste, and self control - or for the antitheses of these Virtues - the law of compensation shall deem him largely responsible for it. The architect must realize that as an artist he is a thinker, a preacher and a doctor all in one. Through the artistic, merits of his work he can greatly help to reform, uplift, and cure; and all this he does by being true to his art and to himself.
