Appearance and Essence by Lothar Haselberger

The proceedings of the second Williams Symposium explore the phenomenon of curvature, together with other such "secrets" of classical refinement. Debated ever since the Renaissance, these stunning architectural subtleties are treated here for the first time in a combined effort of international experts.

Ranging from painstaking new technical observations to the wider issues of perception and art theory, this well-illustrated volume demonstrates why classical architecture was-and still is-deemed to be perfect.
Lothar Haselberger, Williams Professor Emeritus in Roman Architecture an der University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, war Forschungsstipendiat des Deutschen Archaologischen Instituts Berlin, des Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton und der American Academy in Berlin.
