Greek Refinements: Studies In Temperamental Architecture is a book written by William Henry Goodyear and originally published in 1912. The book is a comprehensive study of the architecture of ancient Greece, with a particular focus on the temperamental aspects of Greek design. Goodyear explores the ways in which the Greeks used architectural forms and ornamentation to express their cultural values and ideals, as well as their emotional and psychological states. He discusses the various styles of Greek architecture, including the Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian orders, and analyzes the ways in which each style reflects different aspects of Greek temperament. Goodyear also examines the role of color, light, and shadow in Greek architecture, and the ways in which these elements were used to create mood and atmosphere. The book is illustrated with numerous photographs and drawings, and includes detailed descriptions and analyses of many of the most famous examples of Greek architecture, such as the Parthenon, the Temple of Zeus at Olympia, and the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. Overall, Greek Refinements is a fascinating and insightful study of one of the world's most enduring architectural traditions, and a must-read for anyone interested in the history of art and design.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
