Excellent beginners guideBy Corey StrangeAlthough the case for classical architecture is not as simplified as Mr. Summerson makes it seem in this book. it is a wonderful introduction to this world of art. His prose is lucid and fulfills the artistic need to see associations across various works while also going deeper into a few main issues. For the price. this book cannot be beat. Highly recommended.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A book for the ages!By Edwin L. SmithThis small book gives by far the best. clearest. and most easy to understand analysis of how classical architecture was adapted to and grew through the Renaissance. that Ive ever seen. It ought to be taught in every architecture school.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Daniel MitchellWorth it.
