Architecture and Mathematics in Ancient Egypt Book

In this fascinating new study, architect and Egyptologist Corinna Rossi explores the use of numbers and geometrical figures by the Ancient Egyptians in their architectural projects and buildings. While previous architectural studies have searched for 'universal rules' to explain the entire history of Eyptian architecture, Rossi attempts to reconcile the approaches of architectural historians and archaeologists by testing architectural theories against the archaeological and historical evidence. Highly illustrated with plans, diagrams and figures, this book is essential reading for all scholars of Ancient Egypt and the architecture of ancient cultures.Read More
