DESCRIPTION:
Iktomi said A Solid Handbook. While Dinsmoor wrote a very comprehensive handbook on Greek architecture, it is a bit dated at this point. Ancient Greek Architects at work was a valuable read for me not only in my Greek architecture survey class, but also as I prepared for my MA exams in Classical . Have been pleased with this studied approach to the architecture of this Dusty Deacon Received promptly and well. Have been pleased with this studied approach to the architecture of this era. Author has an enjoyable style in posting information!
A study of the problems of structure and design, this book relates the architect to the society in which he worked; it shows him as a designer, structural engineer and director of works; it identifies the problems that architects encountered and suggests solutions.
