Book Description
Excerpt from Simplicity and Fascination We knock at the door, and are admitted by a rosy coun try girl into a passage, where is a stand of geraniums, and thence conducted into a large hall, where we will sit. Down in a corner, invisible as ghosts by daylight, and look about us. This hall is a substantial apartment, panelled with black oak. Heavy oaken rafters form the ceiling, and polished oaken planks the floor: over the middle of the latter is a piece of Indian matting. An oaken chimney corner usurps a third of one side of the room, on the hearth of which are placed two bright steel dogs, or andirons. Across these lie big logs of wood, that burn with all their hearts. And as if they took a pleasure in enlivening by their cheerful flames the party assembled near them.

Elements of Architecture
Author: Pierre von MeissPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136737448
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
This internationally significant book analyzes architectural elements, drawing general principles from the prevailing pluralism of architectural approaches. Von Meiss expertly bridges the gap between history and contemporary work by pinpointing the constant factors that exist in all architecture. A comprehensive analysis of the whole architectural phenomenon, this valuable book will prove especially useful to modern practitioners who need to make constant reference to buildings of the past. Staying away from the ineffectual arguments on styles that dominate today's architectural literature, this is the first recent book to attempt such a synthesis of architectural history and contemporary work. As such, it is unique.
