Now architecture students and others interested in the history of the built environment can consult a single reference book to find the answers to these and to hundreds of other questions, quickly and in the form most easily comprehended: clear and logical drawings. There are 2000 drawings in this book covering the history of Western architecture from Egypt through Wright, Saarinen, and Fuller.
Review:
Excellent illustrations explaining architecture.
This book is true to its title. It is a history of architecture, but first of all it is visual. The full-page illustrative examples explain the concepts and terminology of architecture. Want to know what a flying buttress is, a picture tells a thousand words. Years ago I saw this book in a library and have been searching to buy it ever since. Now it's been republished at a rather high price for a large format paperback.
