What reading level is Architecture book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This was furtherproved by the discovery by M. Place of the great arched gates of thecity itself, with an archivolt of coloured enamelled bricks formingvarious patterns, with a semicircular arch springing from plain jambs. Extreme care was taken by the Assyrian builders in laying thepavements to ensure their being perfectly level: first a layer ofkiln-burnt bricks was laid on the ordinary sun-dried bricks formingthe terrace; then came a layer of fine sand, upon which the bricks orslabs of the pa...vement proper were laid, forming in many cases anelegant pattern (see Fig. 33).
[Illustration: FIG. 33. --PAVEMENT FROM KHOYUNJIK. ] Great difference of opinion exists as to the manner in which thevarious apartments of the palace were lighted. M. Place suggests thatthe rooms were all vaulted on the inside, and the spandrels filled inwith earth afterwards to form perfectly flat roofs, and he gives arestoration of the building on such an arrangement; but if he iscorrect, it is impossible to see how any light at all can havepenetrated into the interior of many of the apartments, and as theseapartments are decorated with a profusion of paintings it is verydifficult to believe that artificial light alone was used in them.
