Theory of Mouldings
C. Howard Walker (Author)
With a Foreword by Richard Sammons
With the revival of interest in traditional design, practitioners,
students, and historians have begun to study and use the vocabulary of
forms that so enriched our architectural heritage.
This republication of a 1926 study looks at mouldings from historical, practical, aesthetic, and perceptual points of view; Richard Sammons' foreword and a selection of mouldings in use address applications in contemporary architecture.
