This series offers a range of heretofore unavailable writings in English translation on the subjects of art, architecture, and aesthetics. Wagner's manifesto is a plea for an end to architectural eclecticism and for a more rational approach to design suited to contemporary life.
Mallgrave and the Getty have done it again, bridging the gap between modernity and 18th century classic culture. This beautiful edition, supported on the vast culture of its editors, gives us the image of Wagner as a master, more than a simple architect. In this sense his observations on style, life, architecture, drafting, etc., all melt together, and become general, powerful ideas.
