What reading level is Greek Lines And Other Architectural Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
89 Architecture, properly conceived, should al- ways contain within itself a direct appeal to the sense of fitness and propriety, the com- mon-sense of mankind, which is ever ready to recognize reason, whether conveyed by the natural motions of the mute, or the no less natural motions of lines. Now history has proved to us, as has been shown, how, when the eloquence of these simple, instinctive lines has been used as the primary element of design, great eras of art have arisen, full of the symp...athies of humanity, immortal records of their age. It cannot be denied, on the other hand, that our eclectic architecture, popularly speaking, is not comprehended, even by the most intelligent of cultivated people ; and that, so long as it is contented to be merely reminiscent and archaeological, the inevitable rapid development of structural science and new materials, and the changes in our social conditions, which necessarily must impose new forms upon buildings, cannot be properly and adequately recognized in art.
