Architecture: World's Greatest Buildings, Styles and History, Architects (Eyewitness...
From Booklist DK's trademark visual verve is applied to this volume in the Eyewitness Companions series. Brief text accompanies numerous, albeit sometimes very small, color photographs, providing a whirlwind tour through the architectural elements, styles, and landmarks of the ages and slightly updating Glancey's The Story of Architecture (2000). Though it's no substitute for standard texts, this is an inexpensive way to add an architecture resource. Mary Ellen Quinn Copyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved Book Description Explore the world's greatest buildings! Architecture is filled with amazing illustrations and photographs that take you to the heart of the world's landmark buildings. Get the opportunity to look beyond the facade. Examine materials and technology that shape buildings, and identify the key elements and decorative features of each architectural style. This is the best definitive visual guide on architecture; it covers 5,000 years of architectural design, style, and construction from airports to ziggurats. Reader Reviews Ultra helpful!!!
