"I read it in Portuguese. It's the best book about Classical Language on Architecture. It's clear, succint and easy to read. It goes from the first civilizations to use that form of expression, to the latest."
"This is a good intro to classical architecture. However, it's a little too Brit-centric, which is forgivable since it was originally a BBC radio broadcast. Sometimes the author forgets that he's addressing a non-architectural public, so those college days sitting in an architectural history course definitely came in handy. But, with google images nowadays, I think a novice could work through this book and walk away with a keener eye for classical motifs."
