The Encyclopaedia of Architectural Terms, now reprinted as a paperback edition, provides a comprehensive, clearly written, practical guide to the terminology used in the various aspects of architecture and building. It contains over 3,500 terms offering definitions of styles, the components of buildings, materials, the various parts of Orders, architectural details, and much more.
This scholarly work is illustrated to a high standard and is cross-referenced throughout. It will be an invaluable source of reference for architects, surveyors, architectural historians, and all other professionals with an interest in historic buildings.
Professor Curl is to be congratulated on a book that is both immensely informative and highly readable with an excellent balance of text, source reference, drawing and photograph ... a must for your bookshelf. RICS Building Conservation Group Newsletter
