Book Description:
'This essay on our profound and daily relationship to classical forms is fairly boggling in its scholarship, its scope, its freedom from cant, and also in Rykwert's fresh reading of meanings vested in the orders that 'have dominated Western architecture for nearly three millennia.'' -- Village Voice Literary Supplement
Joseph Rykwert is one of the major architectural historians of this century, and The Dancing Column is his most controversial and challenging work to date. A decade in preparation, it is a deeply erudite, clearly written, and wide-ranging deconstruction of the system of column and beam known as the 'orders of architecture,' tracing the powerful and persistent analogy between columns and/or buildings and the human body.
