Fowler 67. - Millard Coll. I, 40 (mit Abb.) - Erste Ausgabe. - "The Architecture Modern, on the planning and construction of domestic architecture, marks a watershed between sixteenth and seventeenth-century publications on models for houses of all sizes and eighteenth-century rococo house publications with their emphasis on the design and construction of homes for the well-to-do ... In contrast to earlier works on architectural theory ... this treatise is concerned only with material related to practical problems of planning and construction, following such models as the building handbooks of Louis Savot and Bullet."
