Description
The architects of ancient Rome developed a vibrant and enduring tradition,
inspiring those who followed in their profession even to the present day.
This original book is the first to explore their approach to design. Mark
Wilson Jones draws on both new archaeological discoveries and his own
analyses of the monuments to reveal how Roman architects went about the
creative process. Wilson Jones outlines the state of knowledge regarding
Roman architects, Vitruvius in particular, as well as the dynamics of design
as illuminated by surviving architectural drawings and models. He focuses on
underlying patterns of design that transcend function and typology.
