This book presents the theories of Atlanta architect William T. Baker regarding the impact of classical architecture on the built environment today. He argues that today's architects should draw more on the past to achieve 'timeless' architecture. The book outlines the history of architecture from ancient days and explores the influence of classical architecture on the architects of today. He supports his theories with illustrations from Greek, Roman, Indian, Islamic, Chinese and English architecture. A range of modern architecture is presented for the reader to assess in terms of its longevity in architectural terms.
