Sobre IBD

First published in 1892, this vintage book looks at religious, mystical, and mythological influences on architecture throughout history and from all over the world, exploring in detail similarities, design, purpose, and much more. Profusely illustrated throughout, 'Architecture, Mysticism and Myth' will appeal to those with an interest in religious architecture and would make for a worthy addition to any collection. Contents include: 'The World Fabric', 'The Microcosmos', 'Four Square', 'At the Centre of the Earth', 'The Planetary Spheres', 'The Labyrinth', 'The Golden Gate of the Sun', 'Pavements like the Sea', 'Ceilings like the Sky', 'The Windows of Heaven and Three Hundred and Sixty Days', and 'The Symbol of Creation'. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
