5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!!!, March 27, 2002

This review is from: Discoveries: Architecture of the Renaissance (Discoveries (Harry Abrams)) (Paperback)

This book explains the Renaissance architecture very clearly. I wish I had this book in the beginning of the semester. Now I understand what my professor was trying to say. It explains what the Renaissance is all about, the principles, the language, the different building types and more. It also has beautiful photography and illustrations. I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting an introduction to the Renaissance.

This is an excellent overview of Renaissance architecture. I've been carrying it around in my book bag (off and on) for years. If you like art and want to learn more about architecture, buy this book.
