About this product

Product Information

The architectural historian James Ackerman discusses villas from ancient Rome to 20th-century France and America. Unlike farmhouses, castles or manors, villas usually belong to city dwellers. The villa provides a focus for examining not only the relationship between urban and rural life, but also that between building and the environment, and between the effects of social, economic and political change on architectural design. The author illuminates villas of all kinds in a study of one of the most attractive types of dwelling ever conceived.
