(ed. Donald M. Rattner)
An excellent resource for the designer, this volume presents a multitude of beautifully drawn examples in all of the classical orders, from antiquity to the eighteenth century, and allows close study and comparison of their proportions and ornamental detail.

This pioneering volume offers an international overview of the revival of classical architecture and design since the founding of the Institute in 1991. Profusely illustrated, the book showcases the work of architects, painters, sculptors, and designers—many of whom are members, friends, or faculty of the ICA&CA—who have given new life to the great mainstream tradition of Western art. Includes an introduction by Robert A. M. Stern.

Before The American Vignola, there was the original Vignola, whose renaissance treatise has been among the most influential architectural books of all time. Vignola’s work has proved to be the most popular basis for instruction in classical design from the renaissance to the present day. This facsimile edition includes a translation of the original text and an introductory essay.
