5.0 out of 5 stars Do It Right!, October 5, 2011

Ryan "Ryan" (Boston, Massachusetts) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The American Vignola: A Guide to the Making of Classical Architecture (Dover Architecture) (Paperback)

Want to learn why the modern McMansions have no style? This 19th century guidebook details the proportions of classicalism for designers to reproduce. This is a must have book for anyone looking to replicate old details on new homes. Its heavily illustrated with all sorts of details. If you are just interested in architecture, this book is also a great addition to your collection. Another great Dover book!
