Greek temples captivate anyone with an interest in antiquity, and the Doric, Ionic and Corinthian columnar orders that clad them launched the classical architectural tradition down to modern times. This title proposes new theories in both areas as it elucidates the nature and function of Greek architecture.

Drawing on new archaeological discoveries and his own analyses of Roman monuments, Mark Wilson Jones discusses how the ancient architects dealt with the principles of architecture and the practicalities of construction as they engaged in the creative process.
