| | | 人文主義建筑藝術(shù) | Preface
scope of this book requires a word of explanation, since from a very
simple purpose it has developed to a rather complicated issue. My
intention had been to formulate the chief principles of classical design in
architecture. I soon realised that in the present state of our thought no theory of
art could be made convincing, or even clear, to any one not already persuaded of
its truth. There may, at the present time, be a lack of architectural taste: there is,
unfortunately, no lack of architectural opinion. Architecture, it is said, must be
‘expressive of its purpose’or‘expressive of its true construction’ or ‘expressive
of the materials it employs’ or ‘expressive of the national life’ (whether noble or
otherwise) or ‘expressive of a noble life’ (whether national or not); or expressive of
the craftsman’s temperament, or the owner’s or the architect’s, or, on the contrary,
‘a(chǎn)cademic’ and studiously indifferent to these factors. It must, we are told, be
symmetrical, or it must be picturesque—that is, above all things, unsymmetrical.
It must be ‘traditional’ and ‘scholarly,’ that is, resembling what has already been
done by Greek, Roman, Mediaeval or Georgian architects, or it must be ‘original’
and ‘spontaneous,’ that is, it must be at pains to avoid this resemblance; or it must
strike some happy compromise between these opposites; and so forth indefinitely. | 圖書裝訂：平裝 | 開本：16 | 出版日期：2015-04 | 圖書書號(hào)：ISBN 978 - 7 - 5641 - 5404 - 2 | 出版社：東南大學(xué)出版社 | 作者：（英）斯科特（Scott，G.）著；吳家琦譯 | 版次：2015年4月第1版 2015年4月第1次印刷 | 印張：17 | 字?jǐn)?shù)：430千字 | 上架時(shí)間：2015-06-17 | 圖書點(diǎn)擊數(shù)：3973 | | 價(jià)格：￥49元 |
