Volute in Architecture and Architectural Decoration

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. It is the purpose of this study to develop this method of approach in order to explain the extremely wide and varied use of the volute in architecture, and ultimately to present what is apparently the natural and logical reason, as well as the valid argument, for the existence of the volute in an order of architecture.
