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 The Practical Book of Architecture The aim of Part I, A Practical Guide to Styles, is to give, as part of a liberal education, a thorough working knowledge of architecture and architectural styles, so far as is necessary for the use of the general reader, and to give it in so succinct and practical a way that it may easily be assimilated. Part II, A Practical Guide to Building, adds to the 'above knowledge information of a more practical kind for those who are about to have erected for them houses or other buildings, either in the city or the country, at either large or small expense, or who may be connected in any way with Advisory Boards for the erection of buildings of a more public character. The chapter on arrangements with architect and contractors treats of a subject never before presented to the lay reader in a direct manner, and a glance at the Table of Contents will show how helpful this portion of the work will prove.

Book excerpt: De Architectura is considered as the first book on architectural theory and as a major source on the canon of classical architecture as as it is the only treatise on architecture to survive from antiquity. It was written by the Roman architect and military engineer Marcus Vitruvius Pollio and dedicated to the emperor Caesar Augustus, as a guide for building projects. It contains a variety of information on Greek and Roman buildings, as well as prescriptions for the planning and design of military camps, cities, and structures both large (aqueducts, buildings, baths, harbours) and small (machines, measuring devices, instruments). De Architectura - Volume I goes into subjects such as town planning and general architecture, the qualifications required of an architect, the building materials, the Temples and the different orders of architecture (includes the section on body proportions that led to da Vinci's drawing) and civil buildings (baths, palæstra, etc.) The descriptions are completed with magnificient hand drawn illustrations by Andrea Palladio and Sébastien Leclerc.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from House Architecture, Vol. 1 of 2: Architecture I began this book ten years ago during an interval in the practice of my profession. Many causes have delayed its completion, foremost among which was a sense of the inadequacy and imperfection of what I had written. The constant engagements of an architect made it difficult for me to give to the book the time needed to make it satis factory. At the same time I was unwilling to lose the labour and the cost already expended. A consequence of the time the writing of the book has occupied is that many of, the views it advocates, which were unusual when they were written, are now current and fashionable. I believe that the book may still be useful. Though inadequate, it is not, I hope, misleading. Throughout it, while stating my own opinions, I have tried to give the reader data for judging for himself.
