Description: Reissued In a New Format, with a new introductory essay by Paul Barolsky (University of Virginia) and an expanded portfolio of illustrations compiled by Henry Hope Reed, who wrote the foreword to the book when it was reprinted more than a quarter-century ago, The Architecture of Humanism remains, as Barolsky writes, "one of the classics in the modern literature on architecture. A book that defines critical issues in our understanding of architecture, Scott's study has had a significant impact on thinking about architecture throughout the twentieth century .... (It) is as challenging a book today as it was when first published nearly a century ago. It endures as a classic of clear and artful writing about architecture in the tradition of Ruskin .... Scott endures, above all, as an aesthetic critic, who draws us back to the reasons why we care about architecture in the first place." It is recommended reading for all students of architecture and art history, and essential for everyone interested in the revival of classical architecture.
