"The general impact of Professor Wittkower's book on a whole generation of post-war architectural students is one of the phenomena of our time. Its exposition of a body of architectural theory in which function and form were significantly linked by the objective laws governing the Cosmos (as Alberti and Palladio understood them) suddenly offered a way out of the doldrum of routine-functionalist abdications, and neo-Palladianism became the order of the day. The effect of Architectural Principles has made it by far the most important contribution - for evil as well as good - by any historian to English Architecture since Pioneers of the Modern Movement, and it precipitated a nice disputation on the proper uses of history. The question became: Humanist principles to be followed? Or Humanist principles as an example of the kind of principles to look for?"

(Publisher:) "Since its original publication almost forty years ago, Architectural Principles in the Age of Humanism has acquired the status of a classic, having brought to light, through exemplary scholarship, the connections between the architecture and the culture of the Renaissance. Focusing on the work of the principal Renaissance architects from Alberti to Palladio, Rudolf Wittkower has produced definitive explanations of the true significance of certain architectural forms, and has at the same time revealed the limitations of a purely aesthetic theory of Renaissance architecture. Superbly reproduced in a large square format, this fourth edition of the classic study on Renaissance art and architecture integrates for the first time the illustrations with the text and includes an edited selection of hitherto unpublished lectures on proportion by Professor Wittkower. The bibliography has been usefully extended and updated to incorporate more recent research on the Renaissance". - - - Contents: "Alberti's Programme of the Ideal Church", "Centralized Churches in Later Architectural Theory", "Building Practice: S.
