The Music Of The Eye Or, Essays On The Principles Of The Beauty And Perfection Of Architecture

By Peter Legh and Peter Legh Sir

Book Overview

The Music of the Eye is a book of essays written by Peter Legh that explores the principles of beauty and perfection in architecture. The author uses music as a metaphor to illustrate how the elements of architecture, such as proportion, harmony, and rhythm, can create a sense of beauty and perfection in a building. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a specific aspect of architectural design, such as symmetry, color, and texture. Legh draws on examples from classical architecture and contemporary buildings to illustrate his points. The essays are written in a clear and accessible style, making the book suitable for both architects and laypeople interested in the principles of architectural design. Overall, The Music of the Eye is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between music and architecture and how the principles of one can inform the other.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
