Publisher's Synopsis

This original work examines the evolution of spatial concepts and architectural forms as they are manifested in the epic writings of Indo-European and European cultures. It analyzes the earliest cultural perceptions of space and form and shows how they became refined through history. The book also argues that poetry and literature influenced architecture and design.
