Description
A pillar finds myriad applications around us: As a free-standing support it creates places of refuge, as an ornamental detail it surrounds edifices with enchanting decor, or simply carries the load as part of a building's structure. In Athens' Acropolis, Paris' Notre Dame or as the Bictory colunn in Berlin - the pillar always acts as a symbol of grandeur and constancy, making public space without it unimaginable for us.
The present volume leads the reader into the midst of European metropolitan centres, on a path of discovering the base, shaft and capital in their purest form under balconies and roofs, over rivers and on city plazas. This comrehensive collection of photographs documents how this architectural element has been and continues to be used in the various executions, materials and colours that have enchanted building masters from then and until now.
