Architecture, Nature And Magic

By William Richard Lethaby

Book Overview

Architecture, Nature and Magic is a book written by W.R. Lethaby that explores the relationship between architecture, nature, and magic. It delves into the idea that architecture is not just a practical and functional art, but also a spiritual and mystical one. The book examines the ancient beliefs and practices of different cultures and how they have influenced the design and construction of buildings. It also explores the role of nature in architecture and how architects can use natural elements to create harmonious and sustainable structures. Lethaby's writing is poetic and philosophical, and he draws on a wide range of sources, including mythology, folklore, and symbolism, to illustrate his ideas. Overall, Architecture, Nature and Magic is a thought-provoking and inspiring book that challenges readers to think differently about the art of architecture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
