What is a hammer-beam roof? Where does a voissoir fit in an arch? What churches did Nicholas Hawksmoor design? 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.
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.
