Book Description
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.

Book Description
Excerpt from Series of Designs for Villas and Country Houses: Adapted With Economy to the Comforts and to the Elegancies of Modern Life; With Plans and Explanations to Each Some persons are of opinion that many of the designs of modern architects are superior to those of the ancients; but the comparison is unjust: unfortunately Architects of all ages and countries are obliged to submit to national and prevailing customs and were the unexecuted designs of the ancients as superior to their buildings as those of the moderns to our present edifices, I doubt not but the balance would be found greatly in favour of antiquity.
