Their new format has fewer sections and the absence of a corresponding text - particularly for a book related to architecture - was a major disappointment. ( ) no reviews | add a review

In this engaging series of lectures, Carroll William Westfall, the University of Notre Dame's Frank Montana Professor of Architecture, delves into the classical principles of Western architecture. Exploring features such as ornamentation, decoration, and innovation, Professor Westfall shows how architecture is derived from the very principles that form the cornerstones of our civilization -- and, with scholarly precision; he also demonstrates how this field of endeavor is rooted in nature itself.
