Description: Do you know a Doric column when you see one? Perhaps. But what about an entablature, a hypostyle, a pylon, or a pagoda? The Grammar of Architecture uses beautifully engraved plates from the great works of architectural history to illustrate a journey of the architecture of civilizations around the world, from Ancient Egypt to the Industrial Revolution. Most of the drawings and engravings have been taken from early sources, unparalleled for their elegance and delicacy of line, as well as for the amount of fine detail they offer. Extended captions provide a comprehensive naming of architectural elements that, as well as identifying and defining the correct terminology, will cultivate a knowledge of how architects planned and made the buildings of the past, from Amenhotep to Palladio and Vitruvius to Wren. Emily Cole is an architectural historian currently working at English Heritage.
