A must have Volume for any Architect or Town Planner.,
By A Customer
This review is from: On the Art of Building in Ten Books (Paperback)
The Ten Books of Architecture by Alberti, is one of the finest texts for the education of an Architect or Town Planner. Alberti's ideas are studied at almost very Architecture Program in the world. The Ten Books of Architecture describe how to design successfully, and how to design towns that are safe. Alberti expands on the work of Vitruvius. I would recommend this book for anyone who has an intrest in design. The text is very simple to understand. After reading these books, one will have a much clearer understanding of design.

A Renaissance Author with a Sense of Humor,
By
This review is from: On the Art of Building in Ten Books (Hardcover)
This book is half a millennium old and I think it's easier and more pleasurable to read than most current authors writing about architecture. This is a classic, no doubt about that - but it's not dry and boring like I assumed it would be since it was assigned reading for a class. Alberti's genial personality and sense of humor shine through and enliven this text.
