A complete body of architecture : adorned with plans and elevations
A complete body of architecture is a 1756 London architectural treatise by Isaac Ware, published by several booksellers for builders and gentlemen wanting design models. Its plates show architects' plans, elevations and details of country houses and garden buildings drawn in fine line with grey wash shading. A designer could take from them the clear hierarchy of ground plans beside front elevations, the rhythm of sash windows and pediments, and the domed garden temple with its octagonal plan.
