Book Description
Excerpt from Letters to a School-Boy These letters were written to my son, fourteen years of age, while absent at school. A father who understands the temptations and moral perils that beset the pathway of a boy of that age at school, cannot conceal his solicitude if he would. These letters were designed to put the youth upon his guard, to make him watchful against temptation, to impress his mind with the importance and value of school-days, and to inspire his soul with the noblest aims. They express just what every thoughtful and anxious parent would say to his son at school. They treat of studies, books, games, sports, companions, duties, temptations, morals, and religion. As I deemed them necessary for my son, they may prove of some advantage to other men's sons; and so they are given to the public in this form.

Hendrik Petrus Berlage
Author: Hendrik Petrus BerlagePublisher: Getty Publications
ISBN: 0892363339
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
Hendrik Petrus Berlage, the Dutch architect and architectural philosopher, created a series of buildings and a body of writings from 1886 to 1909 that were among the first efforts to probe the problems and possibilities of modernism. Although his Amsterdam Stock Exchange, with its rational mastery of materials and space, has long been celebrated for its seminal influence on the architecture of the 20th century, Berlage's writings are highlighted here. Bringing together Berlage's most important texts, among them "Thoughts on Style in Architecture", "Architecture's Place in Modern Aesthetics", and "Art and Society", this volume presents a chapter in the history of European modernism. In his introduction, Iain Boyd Whyte demonstrates that the substantial contribution of Berlage's designs to modern architecture cannot be fully appreciated without an understanding of the aesthetic principles first laid out in his writings.
