In this large format (10x12"), lavishly illustrated (with line drawings and color photographs) study, Porphyrios, architectural theorist and practicing architect in London, focuses on the profound (and continuing) influence of classical Greek and Roman design and construction techniques in current architectural and building practices. He not only shows how the techniques have affected both postmodern and neomodern architecture throughout the Western world, but also probes a wide range of related aspects by delving into the roles of imitation, tectonics, ornament, and originality in architecture.

From Introduction - The narrative of recent architecture tells how Post-Modernism, was born to disreputable Modernist parents, left home and took to the road, how he went to Shingle-style and Neo-Corbusian American, how he served in the household of Late-Modernism, and how, after more adventures - such as the short-lived affairs he had with Queen-Anne Revival and Collegiate Gothic - he returned to a Classicism that was to qualified as Free-style.

It details each of the individual buildings with insights from the architects responsible. Throughout, it is generously illustrated with historic photos and maps, drawings and diagrams, graphics summarising key data and photographs of both construction phases and the end results.

Demetri Porphyrios' work as an architect is closely related to his ideas as a theorist. He believes that architecture must be firmly grounded once again in technology and the craft of building and in the principle of firmness, commodity and delight. The projects assembled in this volume range from his early didactic pavilions and houses to the more recent urban projects and large scale buildings such as the Belvedere Village, the Patermost Offices and new Quadrangle at Magdalen College, Oxford.
