Críticas
" Joseph Rykwert is a gloriously erudite, ingeniously speculative historian and critic of architecture --- of, that is, the forms (in the most concrete sense) of civilization, of social embodiment itself. His "The Dancing Column" is a sovereign account of its intricate subject and an enthralling mental journey." -- Susan Sontag " Can a highly erudite book enquire what the sex of columns might be? It can, if the author is Joseph Rykwert. Can one imagine anything more rigid, more desperately immutable and dumb than a column? And yet Rykwert not only makes it dance, as he promised in the title; he also makes it speak. We thought we knew all there was to know about the ancient theory of the architectural orders, but Rykwert obliges us to return to the origins of Western civilization and listen to what architecture is telling us - speaking of many other things beside itself." -- Umberto Eco & quot; Joseph Rykwert is a gloriously erudite, ingeniously speculative historian and critic of architecture --- of, that is, the forms (in the most concrete sense) of civilization, of social embodiment itself.

Reseña del editor
This work is a deconstruction of the system of column and beam known as the "orders of architecture", tracing the analogy between columns and the human body. It provides a critical examination of the way classical orders were first formulated, and looks at their consequences.

Hardcover. black cloth boards w/ reflective, lime green printing to spine. book xviii, 598 pgs w/ bw illustration. black, green & red illustrated dustjacket. Remains a nice, bright copy. "Joseph Rykwert is one of the major architectural historians of this century, whose full humanistic understanding of architecture and its historical significance is unrivaled. The Dancing Column is certain to be his most controversial and challenging work to date. A decade in preparation, it is a deeply erudite, clearly written, and wide-ranging deconstruction of the system of column and beam known as the "orders of architecture," tracing the powerful and persistent analogy between columns and/or buildings and the human body. The body-column metaphor is as old as architectural thought, informing the works of Vitruvius, Alberti, and many later writers; but The Dancing Column is the first comprehensive treatment to do this huge subject full justice. It provides a new critical examination of the way the classical orders, which have dominated Western architecture for nearly three millennia, were first formulated."--Worldcat.
