Palladio
Very good source book for traditional details, getting proportions right etc. Not sure why all those neo-georgian architects nowadays can't use this as well.

Very useful for those who are interested in classical architecture, for tourist guides who have to do with architecture and in general for all those who like beautiful buildings, with a special attention to material, setting, proportion and harmony.

In the 16th century, Palladio set himself up as the arbiter of function form and good taste in Architecture. Who am I to argue? Especially since all I seem to have to offer as 20th century competitors are the disneyesque Geary and Gaudi. Timeless Architectural Elegance will always outlast the comedic, which by neccessity only has a comtempory context.

Excellent book on classical architecture

This book is a must have for any architecture student. It is an excellent reference for precedent. I got a lot of use out of it in the first few year of school and still enjoy look through it!
