The Ten Books on Architecture (Volume 1)

Ne pas posséder ce livre pour quelqu'un qui se dit intéressé par l'Architecture serait comme si un mélomane ne possédait pas quelques oeuvres de Bach. L'ouvrage se passe de mots, puisqu'il s'agit d'une oeuvre de référence. Ce format est vendu à prix démocratique, parce que les ouvrages d'époque valent des fortunes.

I needed this book for my researches into classical architecture. It is very useful and very well priced !

A must read book. It's for anyone who wants to have a knowledge on how to build great buildings. It's kind of like liberal art.

all time classics for any students of architecture

This book is a MUST for every interested mind to understanding the basics and logic to why construction and design is, what it is! Today construction throws logic out the door and is based off of money ... short term return. This book along with Palladio's book, Four Books of Architecture, will be the corner stone of a new chapter in construction and design. Designers, Builders and politicians (who should not be in the mix of decision makers) all talk the talk of "Green", proving to be a farce in many ways. Simple concepts explained and set in these two books prove more "Green" than anything brought up today in this world based off of fade and fashion. Just make it simple, get these two books into your reading schedule and learn what was forgotten. The thought process becomes clear once taken the time to just sit down and READ!!!
