"How to Judge Architecture: A Popular Guide to the Appreciation of Buildings" by Russell Sturgis is an educational book from the early 1900s that teaches people how to look at buildings and understand what makes them good or not so good. The book wants readers to make up their own minds about architecture and not just follow what others say. It starts with old Greek buildings, like the Parthenon, which everyone agrees are beautiful, then discusses the design and why they were built that way, helping readers learn about things like shape, size, and history so they can better understand and enjoy different kinds of buildings on their own.
