Canon of the Five Orders of Architecture

by Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola, Branko Mitrovic (Translator)

One of history's most published architectural treatises, this Renaissance volume solidified the architectural canon of the past five centuries. The distinguished architect known as Vignola identified the five orders — Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, and Composite — and illustrated them in full-page elevational detail. Accessible even to lay readers.

[Sula · Rating 4 out of 5]

Modern reproduction of a classic book. Original contents are good but I wouldn't go for this reprint as there's some distortion of the images on the page.

Triste resolución de las imagenes

La digitalización es deficiente. Las imágenes por más que se acercan no son legibles que para el caso de un libro en donde lo más importante son ellas, no vale la pena.
