A Philosopher Looks at Architecture

Beschreibung

In this book, Paul Guyer argues that the fundamental goals of architecture identified by the Roman architect Marcus Pollio Vitruvius in the first century BCE - good construction, functionality, and aesthetic appeal - remain valid despite constant changes in human activities, building materials and technologies, and artistic styles and cultures.
