TL;DR: Architecture, Mysticism & Myth as discussed by the authors provides a window into what is, for most of us, a closed world, and the mysticism inherent in great architecture is explained to the novice and professional alike.
Abstract: This remarkable book, explains to the novice and professional alike the symbolism that underlies so much of 'classical' architecture. Real architecture is more than the geometry of space, it expresses in material form the myths and archetypes of the human unconscious. Clearly and cleverly written, 'Architecture, Mysticism & Myth' provides a window into what is, for most of us, a closed world -- the mysticism inherent in great architecture.

TL;DR: Broneer's path has often lain within the realm of the classic architect, Vitruvius as mentioned in this paper, and it is perhaps appropriate to recognize this formally, if only by an effort to suggest a slight refinement in a structure of theory as compared with his substantial disclosures about structures in stone.
Abstract: VJ ITHIN the almost encyclopedic range of Oscar' Broneer's contributions to our understanding of classical culture, it is conspicuous that his path has often lain within the realm of the classic architect, Vitruvius. It is perhaps appropriate to recognize this formally, if only by an effort to suggest a slight refinement in a structure of theory as compared with his substantial disclosures about structures in stone. Vitruvius, in the first paragraph of the second chapter of Book I, writes as follows: \" Architectura autem constat ex -ordinatione, quae graece taxis dicitur, et ex dispositione, hanc autem Graeci diathesin vocitant, et eurythmia et symmetria et decore et distributione quae graece oeconomia dicitur.\" This is translated by Granger in the Loeb edition as: \"Now architecture consists of Order, which in Greek is called taxis, and of Arrangement, which the Greeks name diathesis, and of Proportion and Symmetry and Decor and Distribution, which in Greek is called oeconomnia \"; the other standard English translation, by Morris Hickey Morgan, reads: \"Architecture depends on Order (in Greek r4tvg), Arrangement (in Greek WtaWErot), Eurythmy, Symmetry, Propriety, and Econonmy (in Greek

TL;DR: The Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) as mentioned in this paper is the only authoritative guide to all of Wright's built work, and it contains full-colour photographs to highlight those buildings that remain essentially as they were first built.
Abstract: Over the past decade, there has been a significant revival of interest in the architecture and designs of Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959). From Barnsdall Park in Los Angeles to the Zimmerman house in New Hampshire, from Florida Southern College to Taliesin in Wisconsin, with Fallingwater in between, Wright buildings open to the public receive thousands of visitors each year, and there is a thriving commerce in reproduction of Wright's furniture and fabric designs. Among the many books available on Wright, William Allin Storrer's classic - now fully revised and updated - remains the only authoritative guide to all of Wright's built work. This edition includes a number of new features. It provides information on Wright buildings discovered since the first edition. It contains full-colour photographs to highlight those buildings that remain essentially as they were first built. To facilitate its use as a convenient field guide, this durable flexibound edition gives full addresses with each entry, as well as GPS coordinates, and offers maps giving the shortest route to each building. Preserving the chronological order of past editions, the catalogue allows readers to trace the progression of Wright's built designs from the early Prairie school works to the last building constructed to Wright's specifications on the original site - the Aime and Norman Lykes residence. "The Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright" should be valuable for anyone fascinated with Wright's unique architectural genius.

TL;DR: The first comprehensive and fully documented study of Philadelphia's architecture (originally published in hardcover in 1974), covering all sections of the city and covering buildings from all periods, from those that have stood since Colonial times to influential and representative works of the twentieth century as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: This is the first comprehensive and fully documented study of Philadelphia's architecture (originally published in hardcover in 1974), covering all sections of the city and covering buildings from all periods, from those that have stood since Colonial times to influential and representative works of the twentieth century. The documentation is based on the latest research available to the authors, including their own extensive searches both in the archives and on the streets.In all, some 450 buildings and/or locations are listed, and about 240 of these are illustrated, in almost every case with a contemporary photograph. The location of each building is noted, along with its date of construction and its architect, when these are known. When applicable, late major alterations are also cited, by date, architect, and extent. And in many cases, brief commentaries are included that place individual buildings in their historic context or that offer critical evaluations of their architectural merits.The book opens with a historical review of architecture and planning in Philadelphia. This is followed be a guide to the city, divided into seven sections, and an abstracted map that the reader can use to pinpoint the locations of the listed buildings. These sections cover the Center City, Fairmount Park, North Philadelphia, the Northeast, South Philadelphia, West Philadelphia (including the University of Pennsylvania campus), and Germantown.The authors stress a sense of area development and general trends, as opposed to the isolated consideration of separate monuments. However, the heterogeneity and diversity that have characterized every period are amply illustrated - highly individualized buildings are pictured in these pages side by side with more "typical" examples of various styles. Much of the best work of architects long identified with the city is shown, ranging from Edmund Woolley and Andrew Hamilton (the architects of Independence Hall) in the eighteenth century; to William Strickland, Frank Furman, Theophilus Chandler, and John McArthur, Jr., in the nineteenth; and to Louis I. Kahn and Robert Venturi in the the twentieth.The book is a boon for the architecturally minded tourist, whether actually walking about the city using the book as a guide or touring Philadelphia from afar and using the book as a well-ordered substitute for the city itself.
TL;DR: In the last fifteen or twenty years, a larger field has been opened for architectural talent, than at almost any period in our modern annals; a greater number of bridges and churches, and of both public and private works, upon an extended scale, have been completed, than in a hundred years before as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: ‘Within the last fifteen or twenty years, a larger field has been opened for architectural talent, than at almost any period in our modern annals; a greater number of bridges and churches, and of both public and private works, upon an extended scale, have been completed, than in a hundred years before. [However] the taste and style of some of the public edifices do not indicate such a state of improvement as might have been desired and expected from the increased opportunities which have been thus afforded.’ The above statement well expresses the general dissatisfaction with contemporary public architecture so prevalent in the periodical criticism of the late 1820s and 30s: a feeling so widespread that Colburn’s New Monthly Magazine of 1828 referred to it half-seriously as a ‘fashion’. It was a relatively recent phenomenon. In the previous decade a strong mood of optimism characterized prospective thinking about metropolitan architecture. The renewal of extensive government patronage of architecture after the Napoleonic wars, together with the profusion of privately financed major works being erected or planned, led contemporaries to envision and hope for a favourable transformation of the topography and architectural image of London.
