The Architecture of Humanism: A Study in the History of Taste
Perhaps one of the finest book ever written about architecture in English, this is also one of the the best general defenses of the classical tradition, and the Baroque in particular. The modern 鈥渇allacies鈥� Scott rebuts (Romantic, Ethical, Mechanical, etc.) are still with us, but his arguments remain as compelling as ever.
Book details:
Includes a portfolio of historic and contemporary classical design illustrating Scott鈥檚 thesis
