About this productProduct Information"A classic of architectural history and theory, Heavenly Mansions interprets architecture as a reflection of the age in which it flowers, and traces the alternating themes of fantasy and functionalism as exemplified in various styles and in the works of a number of influential men, including Wren, Viollet-le-Duc, William Butterfield, and Le Corbusier. Succinctly summarizing 800 years of viewpoints about architecture, it ranges from Gothic architecture to the Renaissance to the influence of modern abstract art on twentieth-century architecture. ""Each essay is a voyage of discovery. What is so interesting and what makes Mr. Summerson the architectural critic of his generation . . . is [an] aversion to dogma. . . . It is supremely well worth reading.""-- Spectator " Product IdentifiersPublisherNorton & Company, Incorporated, w. w.ISBN-100393318575ISBN-139780393318579eBay Product ID (ePID)459520Product Key FeaturesBook TitleHeavenly Mansions : and OTHER Essays ON ArchitectureAuthorJohn SummersonFormatHardcoverLanguageEnglishTopicReference, General, History / GeneralPublication Year1998GenreArchitectureNumber of Pages304 PagesDimensionsItem Length8.7in.Item Height0.7in.Item Width5.6in.Item Weight12.9 OzAdditional Product FeaturesLc Classification NumberNa2563.S8 1998Edition Number2Copyright Date1998Target AudienceTradeLccn98-038745Dewey Decimal720Dewey Edition21IllustratedYes
