Exploring the principles of architecture, this work delves into the moral and aesthetic values that underpin the art of building. John Ruskin emphasizes the importance of light, beauty, and craftsmanship, presenting seven key "lamps" or guiding principles that illuminate the relationship between architecture and society.
