Elderkin is a scholarly publication written in the early 20th century as part of the Princeton Monographs in Art and Archaeology series. The work delves into architectural analysis, specifically examining irregularities in the design and construction of prominent classical structures from the Periclean period, particularly the Propylaea and the Erechtheum in Athens. Elderkin addresses architectural features and their implications, aiming to uncover the reasoning and similarities influenced by both aesthetic decisions and practical considerations in classical architecture.  At the start of this study, Elderkin discusses the asymmetrical arrangement of doors and windows in the north-west wing of the Propylaea, investigating the architectural intent behind these choices. He notes that while symmetry is a hallmark of the Erechtheum, the Propylaea's design dictates a unique response to the architectural needs of its setting. The opening portion of the book focuses on establishing a methodological approach to understanding these structures, using observations from existing literature and architectural features to pose questions on how their designs enhanced public perception and user experience as one approached the Acropolis. The text sets a foundation for a deeper exploration of how Periclean architects navigated constraints imposed by site, mythology, and visual perception in their monumental creations.
