The Architecture of the Classical Interior (Classical America Series in Art and Architecture)

The principles of classical architecture applied to the design of interiors, both residential and public.

A practicing architect shows how the elements that constitute the classical interior-wall and ceiling treatments, doors and windows, fireplaces, and stairs-can be composed into rooms satisfying both aesthetic and practical criteria. Historic and contemporary examples illustrate both generic and specific solutions for designers working in the classical tradition today.
