New System of Architecture: Founded on the Forms of Nature and Developing the Properties of Metals is a book written by William Vose Pickett in 1845. The book presents a new approach to architecture that is based on the forms found in nature and the properties of metals. Pickett argues that this approach will lead to more efficient and aesthetically pleasing buildings. The book is divided into three parts. The first part discusses the principles of the new system of architecture, including the importance of symmetry and proportion. Pickett also explains how the forms found in nature can be used to create beautiful and functional buildings. The second part of the book focuses on the properties of metals and how they can be used in construction. Pickett argues that metals are superior to other materials because they are stronger, more durable, and more flexible. He also provides detailed instructions on how to use metals in construction, including how to join them together and how to use them in different structural elements. The final part of the book includes several examples of buildings that have been designed using the new system of architecture. Pickett includes detailed drawings and descriptions of each building, highlighting how the principles of the new system were applied. Overall, New System of Architecture: Founded on the Forms of Nature and Developing the Properties of Metals is an important work in the history of architecture. It presents a new approach to design that was ahead of its time and continues to be relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
