"This book examines the creative exchanges between architects, artists and intellectuals, from the Early Renaissance to the beginning of the Enlightenment, in the forging of relationships between architecture and emerging concepts of language in early modern in Italy. The study extends across the spectrum of linguistic disputes during this time - among members of the clergy, humanists, philosophers and polymaths - on issues of grammar, rhetoric, philology, etymology and epigraphy, and how these disputes paralleled and informed important developments in architectural thinking and practice. Drawing upon a wealth of primary source material, such as humanist tracts, philosophical works, architectural/antiquarian treatises, epigraphic/philological studies, religious sermons and grammaticae, the book traces key periods when the emerging field of linguistics in early modern Italy impacted on the theory, design and symbolism of buildings"--

This study examines the influence of perspective on architecture, highlighting how critical historical changes in the representation and perception of space continue to inform the way architects design. Since its earliest developments, perspective was conceived as an exemplary form of representation that served as an ideal model of how everyday existence could be measured and ultimately judged. Temple argues that underlying the symbolic and epistemological meanings of perspective there prevails a deeply embedded redemptive view of the world that is deemed perfectible. Temple explores this idea through a genealogical investigation of the cultural and philosophical contexts of perspective throughout history, highlighting how these developments influenced architectural thought. This broad historical enquiry is accompanied by a series of case-studies of modern or contemporary buildings, each demonstrating a particular affinity with the accompanying historical model of perspective.

This is the first book to examine the reception of the classical tradition in architecture in different regions of the world. Exploring the impact of colonialism, the authors show how classical principles were disseminated across the globe, highlighting both similarities and differences. By identifying numerous unresolved and contentious issues, they question long-held assumptions and draw attention to the Euro-centric nature of existing approaches to classical architecture. Featuring over thirty essays from a range of international scholars, the book is divided into three parts: I) Thematics of Classical Architecture; II) Classical Architecture and the Trading Routes; III) Geographical and Historical Survey. Part III covers Europe and the Levant, Asia and the Indian Subcontinent, the Americas, and Australasia, with essays dedicated to countries such as Italy, France, Germany, England, the Nordic countries, Greece, Russia, Lebanon, India, China, Korea, North and South America, New Zealand, and Australia. An essential reference guide, The Routledge Handbook on the Reception of Classical Architecture makes a major contribution to the study of architectural history.
