Paperback. Zustand: Very good. First Edition. 22 x 27cm 600pp very good paperback. Joseph Rykwert is one of the major architectural historians of this century, whose full humanistic understanding of architecture and its historical significance is unrivaled. The Dancing Column is certain to be his most controversial and challenging work to date. A decade in preparation, it is a deeply erudite, clearly written, and wide-ranging deconstruction of the system of column and beam known as the "orders of architecture," tracing the powerful and persistent analogy between columns and/or buildings and the human body. The body-column metaphor is as old as architectural thought, informing the works of Vitruvius, Alberti, and many later writers; but The Dancing Column is the first comprehensive treatment to do this huge subject full justice. It provides a new critical examination of the way the classical orders, which have dominated Western architecture for nearly three millennia, were first formulated. Rykwert opens with a review of their consequence for the leading architects of the twentieth century, and then traces ideas related to them in accounts of sacred antiquity and in scientific doctrines of humor and character. The body-column metaphor is traced in archaeological material from Egypt, Asia Minor, and the Levant, as well as from Greece, drawing on recent accounts by historians. Text puntuated by black and white reproductions. A heavy book, may need extra postage.…

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 4to (26.5 cm), XVIII, 598 pp. Publisher's laminated wrappers (minor shelf-wear). A stimulating and erudite study of the classical orders in architecture, in which Rykwert explores the column not merely as a structural element but as a bearer of cultural meaning and symbolic form. Drawing on sources from antiquity through the Renaissance to modern theory, he examines how the Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian orders were understood, codified, and transformed, engaging with figures such as Vitruvius, Leon Battista Alberti, and Andrea Palladio. Rykwert combines historical analysis with philosophical reflection, arguing that architectural order embodies ideas about nature, proportion, and the human body, making the column a "dancing" element that mediates between structure, ornament, and meaning. A major contribution to architectural history and theory.…
