A reference for the language of architecture
With more than 3,500 entries, this revised encyclopaedia gathers terminology from across architecture and building. Its scope ranges from architectural styles and building components to materials, parts of the classical orders, and architectural details. The emphasis is practical: definitions provide a vocabulary for describing buildings and their features, complementing the study of architectural history. The volume is a broad reference work rather than a guide centered on one period, style, or restoration project.
Based on publisher information and book metadata.
The study of architecture requires not only an understanding of the history of buildings, but also knowledge of the correct terminology that is used to describe them. The "Encyclopaedia of Architectural Terms" provides a comprehensive, practical guide to the terminology used in the various aspects of architecture and building. It contains over 3500 terms offering definitions of styles, the components of buildings, materials, the various parts of orders and architectural details.
