The Encyclopaedia of Architectural Terms, now available both in paperback and hardback, 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.
