The Anatomy of Architecture: Seven Books on Logic, Form, and Meaning
19.99 €
The aim of the book by art historian Sergey Kavtaradze is to explain to the reader in the simplest and most understandable language what architecture as an art form is. The author shows how the mechanisms of perception of an architectural structure work, why the viewer gets aesthetic pleasure from it. The book teaches to independently see and analyze the plastic merits of the form and endless layers of meaningful content of architectural monuments, popularly outlining the history of European styles and the logic of their development. The book is addressed to a wide range of readers interested in architecture and art history. The cover features a photo of the facade of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence (photo by the author) and a photo by Svetlana Mishina from the Enlightener Award ceremony (November 2016).
