Produktbeschreibung

This title was first published in 2003. Germain Boffrand's Livre d'Architecture is one of the most original books on architecture ever written in France. Translated for the first time by David Britt, Boffrand's text is here accompanied by an extensive introduction and notes written by Caroline van Eck who explains Boffrand's position within eighteenth century debates about architectural aesthetics. Beautifully illustrated, including all the pictures chosen by Boffrand for his original publication, this book is an invaluable tool for teaching the history of architectural theory and an essential work for any architectural library.
