Architectural Theory - An Anthology from Vitruvius to 1870 V 1 Reviews

The book's range is stunning, its scholarship thoroughly accurate, and its rendering of ideas entirely lucid. Here we have a comprehensive and insightful account of theory that will, I trust, find its way onto the desks of students, professors, and professionals alike. David Leatherbarrow, University of Pennsylvania Harry Mallgrave's Architectural Theory is the most scrupulous, discriminating, and useful anthology one could expect following the last three decades of intense study in the history of Western architectural theory. Martin Bressani, McGill University [Architectural Theory] represents an extremely valuable resource for architectural design, history, and theory education and, more broadly, for aesthetic education, art history, aesthetics, and visual culture...an excellent stand-alone companion to the academic, undergraduate, and graduate student.
