1.Single Author Book

Stillman, D.(1998). English Neo-classical Architecture(2^nd ed). England.A. Zwemmer Ltd.

This book shows the design concepts that dominated the English mansions, towns, residences, banks, churches and other essential building types for different needs. This style has broadened my understanding of the neo-classical ways of creating sturdy and useful building that are necessary and rational.

2. Scholarly Journal Article

Papadakis, A.C. Balslev Jorgenson,L.,Porphyrios,D.(1987).Cpoenhagen & Athens. Neoclassical Architecture,57(3/4),England

The article lets the reader know about the impact of the neoclassical movement during the beginning of the 19^th Century. The hanson brothers were a big part of the neoclassical revival of Greece article. The revival of Greece into the neoclassical inspired me and shows that the classical architecture is a very important point of design and its ideas should be expressed into further projects crossing my path.

3. Edited Book

Middleton, R.Watkin,D.,Alison.E.C.(ed).(1980).Neoclassical and 19^th Century Architecture: Harry N.Abrams, incorporated.

This edited book spans over time from 1750-1870, this book avoided using misleading term neoclassism and emphasised the rationalist theory in France and picturesque movement in England. This book has expanded my view on the movement in England in showing natural beauties as works of great art and could come in handy for naturist thinking during the design year.

Neoclassical Architecture.(2007).Retrieved from http://www.architecture411.com/notes/note.php?id_note=6

This website article talks about the principles of Neo-Classical architecture showing its symmetry large columns for support and triangle shaped roofs. I could and should be using these elements in my design drawings and projects as they are as relevant today as they were in ancient times, and with today’s technology these ancients principles are still featured strongly in modern architecture.

This image by Frederic Church is a inspirational painting of the Parthenon it all of its destructed glory. It paints a sad image of the ancient building but the sun gleaming on it shows almost a glimmer of hope that it shall remain for a long time to come
