The Music of the Eye is a book of essays written by Peter Legh that explores the principles of beauty and perfection in architecture. The author uses music as a metaphor to illustrate how the elements of architecture, such as proportion, harmony, and rhythm, can create a sense of beauty and perfection in a building. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a specific aspect of architectural design, such as symmetry, color, and texture. Legh draws on examples from classical architecture and contemporary buildings to illustrate his points. The essays are written in a clear and accessible style, making the book suitable for both architects and laypeople interested in the principles of architectural design. Overall, The Music of the Eye is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between music and architecture and how the principles of one can inform the other.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
