Encyclopaedia of Architectural Terms cover

The study of architecture requires not only an understanding of the history of buildings, but also knowledge of the correct terminology that is used to describe them. The "Encyclopaedia of Architectural Terms" provides a comprehensive, practical guide to the terminology used in the various aspects of architecture and building. It contains over 3500 terms offering definitions of styles, the components of buildings, materials, the various parts of orders and architectural details.

Even experts might learn a thing or two from this excellent new work of reference. The World of Interiors Professor Curl is to be congratulated on a book that is both immensely informative and highly readable with an excellent balance of text, source reference, drawing and photograph ... a must for your bookshelf. RICS Building Conservation Group Newsletter This is an exceptional book...The very wide scope of this work, and the nature of the production and the quality of the illustrations all commend this book as a worthy tool for student, teacher and amateur local historian.
