Résumé

In "How to Judge Architecture: A Popular Guide to the Appreciation of Buildings, " Russell Sturgis deftly navigates the intricacies of architectural criticism through engaging prose and clarity. With an accessible approach, Sturgis demystifies architectural styles'-ranging from classical to modern'-while providing readers with the analytical tools necessary to appreciate the aesthetic and functional qualities of buildings.
The book situates itself within the 19th-century conversation on architecture, reflecting the era's burgeoning fascination with urban development and the democratization of architectural appreciation, thus marking a significant contribution to the discourse on built environments. Russell Sturgis was an influential figure in the American architectural landscape, known not only for his critique but also for his advocacy of design education.
His experiences as an architect and educator, intertwined with a passion for sharing architectural knowledge with the public, led him to pen this guide. Sturgis's background in the Arts and Crafts Movement profoundly shaped his understanding of craftsmanship, and his insights illuminate the often-overlooked relationship between form, function, and societal impact in architecture. This book is a must-read for architecture enthusiasts, students, and professionals alike, inviting them to cultivate a discerning eye for design and a deeper appreciation of the built environment.
Sturgis's engaging narrative not only enhances understanding but also inspires an appreciation for the art and science of architecture in the everyday world.
