Summary: Interesting discussion of the appeal of classical form.
Comment: A highly useful if somewhat cursory look at the principals of classical architectural form. As an artist I found it to be very illuminating. Even more important was the author's attempt at developing a modern aesthetic which accounts for the lasting appeal of the classical.

Rating: 5
