This book examines the application of drawing in the design process of classical architecture; exploring how the tools and techniques of drawing developed for architecture subsequently shaped theories of vision and representations of the universe in science and philosophy. Building on recent scholarship that examines and reconstructs the design process of classical architecture; John R. Senseney focuses on technical drawing in the building trade as a model for the expression of visual order; showing that the techniques of ancient Greek drawing actively determined concepts about the world. He argues that the uniquely Greek innovations of graphic construction determined principles that shaped the massing; special qualities and refinements of buildings and the manner in which order itself was envisioned.

That is because the Author didnt do a good enough job in his research.Slipknot. therefore. remains somewhat of a mystery. There is really not a lot known about these guys. Considering the lack of information available on this band. I guess this book is worth reading. But honestly. you might be better off waiting for a more extensive book. which hopefully. someone will write in the future.More importantly. is the fact that this book was written at a time when Iowa was being recorded. Since were almost in the year 2013. and since Slipknot has released two more studio albums since Iowa. this book is extremely outdated.This book is definitely only worth reading if youre a hard-core Slipknot fanatic.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. great view of great beginningsBy MetalMomIm late to the Slipknot world so its interesting to see how it all happened and this author. who is obviously a fan. still was able to show the true side of the artists and the world they emerged from. I was a California transplant living in southern Iowa while they were getting started and I found the tales of the early days quite entertaining! I sure wish I would have found this side of Des Moines! I might not have left! But the guys I knew who grew up in Iowa were a lot like them. they had the same anger and spent their lives listening to metal and hoping for an escape from a life with little promise. Thanks for great introduction to the madness that has become one of my favorite bands!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. SicBy Kindle CustomerThis is a fantastic read about the origins of one of the most original bands around. It gives great insight as to how and why Slipknot perform the way they do. and also portrays the humans that live behind the masks.
