This handbook provides readers with a well-illustrated and readable
comparative guide to proportion systems in architecture, setting
out the mathematical principles that underlie the main systems and
illustrating these with examples of their use in historical and
modern buildings. The main body of the text traces the interplay of
abstraction and empathy through the history of science, philosophy
and architecture from the early Greeks through to the two early
twentieth-century architects who made proportion the focus of their
work: Le Corbusier and Van der Laan. The book ends with a
reflection on the present and future role of proportion in
architecture.
