Synopsis

Starting in antiquity and finishing in the Baroque, this book provides a complete analysis of significant works of architecture from a structural viewpoint. A distinguished architect and academic, the author's highly illustrated exploration will allow readers to better understand the monuments, get closer to them and to explore whether they should be conserved or modified.

The author focuses especially on on ancient architecture has previously be more studied by historians than by technician, and on Baroque architecture, which has never been studied from an engineering viewpoint.
