Since antiquity, Roman architecture and planning have inspired
architects and designers. In this volume, Diane Favro and Fikret
Yegul offer a comprehensive history and analysis of the Roman built
environment, emphasizing design and planning aspects of buildings
and streetscapes. They explore the dynamic evolution and
dissemination of architectural ideas, showing how local influences
and technologies were incorporated across the vast Roman territory.
They also consider how Roman construction and engineering
expertise, as well as logistical proficiency, contributed to the
making of bold and exceptional spaces and forms. Based on decades
of first-hand examinations of ancient sites throughout the Roman
world, from Britain to Syria, the authors give close accounts of
many sites no longer extant or accessible. Written in a lively and
accessible manner, Roman Architecture and Urbanism affirms the
enduring attractions of Roman buildings and environments and their
relevance to a global view of architecture. It will appeal to
readers interested in the classical world and the history of
architecture and urban design, as well as wide range of academic
fields. With 835 illustrations including numerous new plans and
drawings as well as digital renderings.
