neo-classical architectural detailing produced by the finest
traditional architects working today. In 'The Art of Classical
Details' Phillip James Dodd takes a close-up look at some of the
finest examples of contemporary classical architecture. The book

with a foreword by renowned decorator David Easton, 'The Essays'

scholars and craftsmen. Accompanied by sumptuous full page
photographs and renderings that illustrate a use of fine materials,
intricate detailing, and superb artisanship, these insightful texts
are essential reading for anyone with an interest in the theory,
practice and craft of classical design. 'The Projects' presents an
illustrated look at 25 of today's finest classically-designed
homes. Employing the theories prescribed in the writings of the
first chapter, this portfolio of contemporary buildings exhibits
the work of some of the most recognisable and celebrated architects
in Great Britain and the United States. The work featured in within
this book demonstrates the timeless beauty of classicism, and
delights in the role that superbly crafted details play in creating
art. AUTHOR: Phillip Dodd is a well-regarded expert on classical
