Bearers of Meaning Zusammenfassung

Bearers of Meaning: The Classical Orders in Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance John Onians

For all those interested in the relationship between ideas and the built environment, John Onians provides a lively illustrated account of the range of meanings that western culture has assigned to the Classical orders. Onians shows that during the two thousand years from their first appearance in ancient Greece through their codification in Renaissance Italy, the orders - the columns and capitals known as Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, Tuscan, and Composite - were made to serve expressive purposes, engaging the viewer in a continuing visual dialogue. Bearers of Meaning offers a much-needed overview of the history of architectural theory as an inseparable twin of architectural practice and a vital element in the European intellectual tradition.

Bearers of Meaning Bewertungen

'There is a great deal of original thought in this book. It covers a vast period of time with an enviable command of scholarship and unfaltering self-passion!' -- Sir John Summerson, The Times Literary Supplement
