This latest compilation volume for The Images Publishing Group
reveals an enticing glimpse into the exquisite architectural works
of innovative and skilled contemporary classicists. While remaining
loyal to traditional classical design, the architectural projects
featured within display a remarkable talent for versatility and
adaptability within the fundamental classical language of
architecture. This richly photographed book masterfully presents a
number of preeminent classicists, who offer unique insight into
their interpretation of the theory of classical design in their
works. This compilation also highlights the collaboration between
the architects' application of excellent detailing, the use of fine

they are creating a refined and seamless fusion with the
surrounding landscape and environment. AUTHOR: Introduction written
