This profusely illustrated introduction to Greek architecture has inspired architects, builders and carpenters for years. It includes the orders of Doric, Ionic and Corinthian in excellent detail so that they can be recreated. Inside you will find an Ionic capital, a Doric cornice, a Corinthian pedestal and a host of inspired designs for dormer windows, wooden fences, vases, balusters, shutters, pilasters, mouldings, circular staircases and more. Each is superbly drawn and described. Available for the first time in paperback, this historic book is one every architect must have, as well as students and fans of history and the arts.
