"Compelling and readable. . . . [O]ne not just to read but to return to and to query with persistence and concentration, a book in fact not to borrow and peruse, but to possess and make one's own." --Anthony Savile, Times Literary Supplement, "A remarkable contribution that should interest designers, teachers, critics, and historians." ---Michael McMordie, Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians, This is an important book which deserves to be read, not just by students and academics, but by all who take an intelligent interest in architecture. ---Peter F. Smith, RIBA Journal, "This book is powerful and unusual. . . . The author combines wide knowledge of both buildings and the main writings on architecture with searching philosophical analysis." -- Literary Review, "This is a highly readable book, valuable in its examination of philosophical concepts in the immediate context of architecture, and valuable in its overview of architecture itself." ---Kenneth Nugent, Month, This is an important book which deserves to be read, not just by students and academics, but by all who take an intelligent interest in architecture., " The Aesthetics of Architecture has long been recognized as an important book. This new edition demonstrates that it is indispensable for anyone concerned about rectifying the 'uglification of the world.'" --Roger Kimball, editor and publisher of the New Criterion, "This is an important book which deserves to be read, not just by students and academics, but by all who take an intelligent interest in architecture."-- Peter F.

Seeing architecture through his eyes is at once a revelation and a compelling narrative for architectural detail and the classical tradition!" --Duncan G. Stroik, University of Notre Dame, This is a highly readable book, valuable in its examination of philosophical concepts in the immediate context of architecture, and valuable in its overview of architecture itself., " The Aesthetics of Architecture is clear and rigorous in argument, but also brilliantly imaginative and illuminating. This is simply the most important treatment of its subject and it will be read for so long as that subject is discussed." --John Haldane, University of St Andrews

Synopsis
A landmark account of architectural theory and practice from acclaimed philosopher Roger Scruton Architecture is distinguished from other art forms by its sense of function, its localized quality, its technique, its public and nonpersonal character, and its continuity with the decorative arts. 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., Architecture is distinguished from other art forms by its sense of function, its localized quality, its technique, its public and nonpersonal character, and its continuity with the decorative arts.
