This book is an exploration of architectural aesthetics, taking an analytical approach to the theories behind the composition of a building's exterior design. It's a valuable tool for the professional designer as well as the architectural enthusiast. The author presents a comprehensive examination of architectural conventions throughout history, from the Renaissance to the present day. Within this context, the book explores different aesthetic philosophies, from the classical perspective of Vitruvius, to the innovative ideas of the Arts and Crafts Movement and the modernist movement of the early twentieth century. The primary focus of the book is the idea that architecture should not only be functional and safe, but also pleasing to the senses. This is achieved by considering aspects such as the shape, the size and the positioning of the building's elements. It also considers the materials they are constructed from and how their appearance and quality affect the overall composition and aesthetics of the structure. The author employs examples from architecture's rich history, accompanied by diagrams and illustrations to illustrate the principles he describes. Ultimately, this book makes a significant contribution to both the theoretical and practical dimensions of architecture. It provides a unique perspective on the aesthetic element of architecture, acknowledging its historical context while encouraging a fresh and modern approach to design.
