Architecture of Humanism A Study in the History of Taste

"A new edition of this minor classic of architectural criticism is welcome not only because it is still worth reading but also because it is so apposite, for the architectural situation a hundred years ago was similar to our own....In a period like our own, where architecture is so dominated by conceptual interpretations, by a seemingly endless succession of -isms, it is useful to be reminded that buildings are--or should be--made to be experienced and enjoyed. Scott can be maddeningly vague at times, but his love of architecture rings clear, and his insights guarantee that THE ARCHITECTURE OF HUMANISM will continue to be read almost a century after it was written."Scott, Geoffrey is the author of 'Architecture of Humanism A Study in the History of Taste', published 1999 under ISBN 9780393730357 and ISBN 0393730352.
