约翰•萨莫森爵士对古典建筑的简要回顾本身就堪称经典。很少能有这样一本著作,它不仅在学界引起热烈的反响,同时也极大地增进了公众欣赏其周围环境的兴趣。如果想更好地欣赏古典风格,包括它的各种变化形式、特点,及其高明与独到之处,的确需要专家指点。作者信手拈来,轻...
评分在建筑风格的发展中描述了古典元素的贯穿与一脉相承,一本挺详细清楚的小书。图片配的也很有代表性。 Chpt.1 The Essentials of Architecture Classical architecture has its roots in antiquity, in the temple architecture of the Greek world and the religious, militar...
评分我个人认为这是一本披着理论皮的历史书,因为作者并没有深入古典建筑的原理,而是在描述这种建筑语言的历史发展。从作者对柱式(order;不知道中文版如何翻译)这一概念的解释中就可以看出这种不充分(第 10 页最上段): "An order is the 'column-and-superstructure' unit o...

Classical architecture is a visual "language" and like any other language has its own grammatical rules. Classical buildings as widely spaced in time as a Roman temple, an Italian Renaissance palace and a Regency house all show an awareness of these rules even if they vary them, break them or poetically contradict them. Sir Christopher Wren described them as the "Latin" of architecture and the analogy is almost exact. There is the difference, however, that whereas the learning of Latin is a slow and difficult business, the language of classical architecture is relatively simple. It is still, to a great extent, the mode of expression of our urban surroundings, since classical architecture was the common language of the western world till comparatively recent times. Anybody to whom architecture makes a strong appeal has probably already discovered something of its grammar for himself.in this book, the author's purpose is to set out as simply and vividly as possible the exact grammatical workings of this architectural language. He is less concerned with its development in Greece and Rome than with its expansion and use in the centuries since the Renaissance. He explains the vigorous discipline of "the orders" and the scope of "rustication"; the dramatic deviations of the Baroque and, in the last chapter, the relationship between the classical tradition and the "modern" architecture of today. The book is intended for anybody who cares for architecture but more specifically for students beginning a course in the history of architecture, to whom a guide to the classical rules will be an essential companion.
