UsefulBy CMLWhile this book is not a textbook on classical architecture; it is the most useful book Ive found for "jumping" into the middle of design projects and getting some clarity on why certain designs "make sense" and others are just ignorant ideas. Regular referencing of the book will give any novice a conversant understanding of classical architecture. Most of the book is based in principle; but on ocassion the author slips into personal preference in dogmatic assertions about various designs.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. fabulous book!By i love norgeI only wish I had known about this book six months earlier! Were attempting to build a period-inspired colonial house. I was so dissatisfied with the house plans I saw that I decided to just design the house myself using library books and determination. I wanted to build something beautiful and the "anti-McMansion". If only I had had this book earlier we wouldve done so many things differently: my second floor windows wouldve been shorter to accommodate all the stuff thats supposed to be under the eaves but now wont fit. I wouldve put the little stoop in a different spot. My dormers would have different proportions. The only problem with reading this book is that now when I look at our house I see all the things I did wrong.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good service.
