“First, What kind of life was lived in this place, that is, Why and how did its builders build as they did?
And second, what rules with general validity and applicability did they follow?”

Paths to Tradtional Architecture

We were pleased to find ourselves in company with some of our favorite architects, urbanists, and craftsmen this month, with the publication the month of an excellent set of profiles in Traditional Building Magazine. The article, compiled by architect Paul A. Ranogajec, details in brief the professional trajectories of a number of classical practitioners across the country. Here is the entry we submitted- we encourage you to read the others to see the variety of ways designers have rediscovered and revived aspects of the traditional and classical city.
