The Seven Lamps Of Architecture

Exploring the principles of architecture, this work delves into the seven essential "lamps" that illuminate the art of building. Each lamp represents a different aspect of architecture, including sacrifice, truth, power, beauty, life, memory, and obedience. The author emphasizes the moral and ethical dimensions of architectural design, advocating for a deep connection between the built environment and human experience. Through vivid illustrations and thoughtful analysis, the book serves as both a philosophical treatise and a practical guide for architects and enthusiasts alike.
