5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent book,
This review is from: Design and Construction in Romanesque Architecture: First Romanesque Architecture and the Pointed Arch in Burgundy and Northern Italy (Hardcover)
I have not only used the book, but experienced Dr. Armi in his element at the University of California Santa Barbara. His enthusiasm, knowledge, and insight to the history, design, and construction of Romanesque buildings is truly special. This book reveals the significance and depth of the First Romanesque period in a comprehensive physical, religious, and cultural context.
