The Lost Meaning of Classical Architecture: Speculations on Ornament from Vitruvius to Venturi - The MIT Press
George L. Hersey
By analyzing this poetry - the tropes founded on the Greek terms for ornamental detail - he reconstructs a classical theory about the origin and meaning of the orders, one that links them to ancient sacrificial ritual and myth.
