Style: Style in the Technical and Tectonic Arts or Practical Aesthetics
There is perhaps good reason why Gottfried Semper's masterpiece on artis tic style has resisted English translation for 140 years, despite the plans of two highly regarded architects, Lawrence Harvey and Bernard Maybeck. The reason lies neither in the opacity of the literary style nor in the profundity of the ideas nor even in the diffuseness of the book itself; it resides rather in the considerable patience and resources necessary to bring such a difficult proj ect to fruition, The current volume represents a collaborative effort of two translators and a team of scholars, stylists, and researchers, some of whom devoted years of effort to bringing this work to completion. It is a project for which only a major research institute could muster the necessary ambition and resources.
