Description

This book establishes architectural aesthetics as a legitimate subject of philosophical inquiry. Characterising the aesthetic understanding of architecture as a rational and conscious activity, Roger Scruton maintains that much contemporary architectural theory mistakes the nature of it's subject and that a return to first principals is necessary. Consequently, he develops a theory of aesthetic judgement and it's place in the understanding of buildings and in practical matters generally.
