Philosopher Looks at Architecture

In this book, Paul Guyer argues that the fundamental goals of architecture identified by the Roman architect Marcus Pollio Vitruvius in the first century BCE - good construction, functionality, and aesthetic appeal - remain valid despite constant changes in human activities, building materials and technologies, and artistic styles and cultures.

In aceasta carte, Paul Guyer sustine ca obiectivele fundamentale ale arhitecturii identificate de arhitectul roman Marcus Pollio Vitruvius in secolul I i.Hr. - constructie buna, functionalitate si atractivitate estetica - raman valabile in ciuda schimbarilor constante ale activitatilor umane, materialelor de constructie si tehnologiilor, si stiluri si culturi artistice.
