About this product

Product Information

Seit Erscheinen der Erstauflage ist dieses Buch zu einem Klassiker geworden, der die Verbindung zwischen der Architektur und der Kultur der Renaissance beleuchtet. Wittkower hat definitive Erklärungen der wahren Bedeutung bestimmter Architekturformen gegeben und gleichzeitig die Grenzen einer rein ästhetischen Theorie der Architektur der Renaissance aufgezeigt. Hervorragend aufgemacht, integriert diese 2. Auflage zum ersten Mal Abbildungen und Text im Gro format. (05/98)

A Great Presentation of the Mathematics of Beauty
This is a clear presentation of the mathematical principles of harmony and proportion, based upon music theory as it appeared in the architiecture of Alberti and Palladio. He describes traces the development of these ideas going back to the ancient Greeks and contrasts them with those of the medieval masons, who used geometry rather than mathematics to generate their proportions. In order to make this contrast, he gives us also the basics of medieval geometrical proportion. Note , don't expect to learn about the Golden Section, as he states emphatically, it is a modern myth that it was ever used in architecture before the 20th century and Le Corbusier.
