One of history's most published architectural treatises this Renaissance volume solidified the architectural canon of the past five centuries. In these pages the distinguished architect known as Vignola identified the five orders — Tuscan Doric Ionic Corinthian and Composite — and illustrated them in full-page elevational detail.Vignola's engravings have been copied countless times since their original publication in 1562. The clear images with brief captions constitute a practical rather than theoretical work offering even lay readers a system of tools that provide accurate proportions. An essential reference for professional architects this book has guided generations of architects including those who rebuilt London after the Fire of 1664. This new edition features an Introduction by architectural historian David Watkin.
