Reviews

'This is an ambitious book, carefully edited and profusely illustrated. It is hard not to be stirred by the questions [Senseney] raises: what were the origins of Greek and Roman architectural drawings? How did drawings determine the actual outcome of a building and a city? And, did architectural drawings affect aspects of intellectual life beyond architecture?' Bryn Mawr Classical Review 'This book is a valuable contribution to a recent tradition of writings that have sought to get inside the working processes of Greek and Roman architects.' American Journal of Archaeology
