In this important book Roger Scruton calls for a return to first principles in contemporary architectural theory contending that the aesthetic of architecture is in its very essence an aesthetic of everyday life. Aesthetic understanding is inseparable from a sense of detail and style from which the appropriate the expressive the beautiful and the proportionate take their meaning. Scruton provides incisive critiques of the romantic functionalist and rationalist theories of design and of the Freudian Marxist and semiological approaches to aesthetic value. In a new introduction Scruton discusses how his ideas have developed since the book's original publication and he assesses the continuing relevance of his argument for the twenty - first century.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: The Aesthetics Of Architecture\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Scruton Roger\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780691158334\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 320 Pages, 90 Halftones. 1 Musical Example.\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 4\/21\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: History Of Architecture","brand":"Scruton Roger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49596809281841,"sku":"IN-G-9780691158334","price":37.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9780691158334.jpg?v=1731020637","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780691158334-the-aesthetics-of-architecture","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
