CLASSIC FORMS
Author
Stuart Dyas
This book offers a visual
introduction to the evolution of round forms, from ancient history to
the present day, providing in the process an enhanced understanding of
design concepts and a multitude of ideas for the contemporary architect,
designer and craftsperson.
Columns are traced from their origins in Egypt, Greece and Rome;
pedestals and vases are shown from the classical period onwards;
balusters from the Renaissance and subsequent periods are covered in
depth. These elements together illustrate the way in which a wide range
of decorative and functional objects such as candlesticks, lamps,
finials, stair rails and table legs have developed.
Designs include all shapes and sizes, simple and complex: from
architectural applications to furniture, household items and objets
d’art. The repetitious clutter which mars some conventional designs
has been removed, simplifying the outline and thus revealing the core elements.
