The essays selected for this book; presented in chronological order; discuss various aspects of image-making technologies; geometrical knowledge and tools for architectural design; focusing in particular on two historical periods marked by comparable patterns of technological and cultural change. The first is the Renaissance; characterized by the rediscovery of linear perspectives and the simultaneous rise of new formats for architectural drawing and design on paper; the second; the contemporary rise of digital technologies and the simultaneous rise of virtual reality and computer-based design and manufacturing.Many of the contributing authors explore the parallel between the invention of the perspectival paradigm in early-modern Europe and the recent development of digitized virtual reality. This issue in turn bears on the specific purposes of architectural design; where various representational tools and devices are used to visualize bi-dimensional aspects of objects that must be measured and eventually built in three-dimensional space.

If youre more advanced of a player simply add on. After all thats what makes you advanced. If these arrangements were much more elaborate youd be paying a lot more. Thats not to say they are bad. Some are better than others. Canon has a challenging 8 measure passage in the middle of the piece that should challenge any guitarist to play authentically at speed. I took Can Can and added on. Went off on Linus and Lucy in the middle of the piece. Relatively simple is good. Jazz heads are generally simple. Anyhow Im coming from more of a jazz perspective which may not be entirely relevant to this music. Maybe Ill come back and write more after Ive played every note of every piece. Happy election with the hopes that Wednesday doesnt turn into a nightmare !0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. which is where I discovered it and was pleased with itBy String TonesI had actually checked this out of our local library first; which is where I discovered it and was pleased with it. I purchased it after that. It is exactly what I like and I have purchased another book of the same series "Fingerpicking Standards". Both of these books are just right for my level of experience; which is intermediate. I am not a beginner. I have taken lessons to play and read solo guitar music and have been practicing for a number of years. I like the song selections because they are familiar to me and recognizable when I play. I like the page arrangements because I am practicing reading. Left Hand Fingerings are added at some notes to assist. I like that. It has the tabs below for additional help. I like that too.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good Mix of Easy and Intermediate Pieces (Typo in Bouree in E Minor)By Theresa ODonnellGood book with some of the classic pieces. It can be argued they are cliche; but a good intro to classical fingerpicking nonetheless.It should be noted a typo exists in Bouree in E Minor. The tablature in the 9th measure is incorrect. The tab for the final two eighth notes should match the tab for the eighth notes in the 1st measure. There may be others; but that is the only mistake I have identified thus far.
