Description:
This fresh and provocative book answers a question that countless people have asked about our manmade world: how did things get so ugly? In this fascinating tour of our buildings and our social history, Jonathan Hale examines the historical moment in the 1830s when builders and architects began to lose their sense of surety. He shows how buildings turned from expressions of the human spirit into structures lade with symbols. He uncovers-in terms the lay reader can understand-the principles that animate beautiful buildings, no matter what their style or period.
