Book Description
Architectural historian Etlin defines the main principles of progressive 19th-century architectural thought: the architectural system, the picturesque, philosophical eclecticism, and the spirit of the times. These principles are explored in detail in relation to 19th- and 20th-century architecture, and also to demonstrate their importance to the work of Wright and Le Corbusier. Illustrated with drawings and photos. Distributed by St. Martin's Press. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
