Building on recent scholarship that examines and reconstructs the design process of classical architecture, John R. Senseney focuses on technical drawing in the building trade as a model for the expression of visual order, showing that the techniques of ancient Greek drawing actively determined concepts about the world. He argues that the uniquely Greek innovations of graphic construction determined principles that shaped the massing, special qualities and refinements of buildings and the manner in which order itself was envisioned. 606 $aArchitectural design 606 $aArchitectural drawing 606 $aArchitecture, Classical 615 0$aArchitectural design. 615 0$aArchitectural drawing. 615 0$aArchitecture, Classical. 676 $a722/.8 686 $aART015060$2bisacsh 700 $aSenseney$b John R$g(John Robert),$f1969-$01503990 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785653903321 996 $aThe Art of Building in the Classical World$93732740 997 $aUNINA
