A classic text in architectural and art historical theory. Reissued in trade format with a new introduction, The Architecture of Humanism offers a brilliant analysis of the theories and ideas behind much of nineteenth- and twentieth-century architecture. It discusses the classical tradition as reflected in the architecture of Renaissance and Baroque Italy and the role given the human body in that tradition. It is recommended reading for all architecture students, and essential for those interested in the revival of classical architecture.

Born in Hampstead, Scott was educated at Rugby School and New College, Oxford.
While still an undergraduate he was befriended by Mary Berenson, leading to his admission to the Florence "circle" of Bernard Berenson. From 1907 to 1909 he was employed by Berenson. He worked on the design of the garden of I Tatti, the Berenson villa, with Cecil Ross Pinsent.
This led to work on other gardens.
With little in the way of career, it has been suggested that an unlikely love affair with Vita Sackville-West from 1923 to 1925 spurred him into his later literary production. At the time of his death, of pneumonia in New York, Geoffrey Scott had been retained as an editor of the papers of James Boswell.
