Architectural details of southern Spain : one hundred measured drawings, one hundred and thirteen photographs

Mack, Gerstle, 1894-1983 · 1928 · New York : W. Helburn · 15 pictures

Architectural details of southern Spain is a 1928 New York publication by Gerstle Mack, issued by W. Helburn, collecting one hundred measured drawings and one hundred and thirteen photographs of Spanish building ornament for architects and students. The pictures show carved and panelled wooden doors, a rotated photograph of a pierced stone or plaster window frame with tiled roofs, and a measured line drawing of a double door with medallion panels and scrolled ornament. A designer might take geometric lattice patterns, coffered panel layouts, and Renaissance medallion framing as sources for pattern and proportion.
