Architectural Mouldings |
Author |
Schmidt, Carl F. |
Summary |
This book is based on the author's curiosity to trace the source of all historical forms that use decorative light and shade and to develop this research by his own writings, measured drawings, and analytical sketches. Through his approach to the historical significance of mouldings and their evolution based on materials used and the methods of the craftsmen to produce forms, we can better understand the effects on each subsequent period.The writer of this book is concerned with architectural mouldings only, which have been eliminated by the modernist as unnecessary. However, they have performed a necessary function in architectural design for more than 2000 years, creating scale and subtlety. |
