Synopsis
Perhaps the greatest achievement of 18th Century English architectural thought, this groundbreaking work established Palladianism as the national style, unifying the nation's landscape. Originally published in three volumes, it features 300 extremely detailed illustrations, blueprints, and cross sections of country homes and parks. No design library is complete without this amazingly influential work, the reprint of "Vitrvius" or "The British Architect", London, 1715-1725.
