A World History of Architecture, 2nd edt Hardback

Hardback

Description

Updated with expanded coverage of non-western architecture, this new edition uniquely comprises a detailed survey of Western architecture as well as architecture from the Middle East, Africa, Central and South America, India, Russia, China and Japan.

Written in clear and engaging style, the text encourages readers to examine the pragmatic, innovative and aesthetic attributes of buildings.

Artistic, economic, environmental, political, social and technological contexts are discussed.

The global reach of the text is matched by a rich assortment of photographs from around the world and a greater array of detailed line drawings than in any architectural survey.

The authors have created a formidable body of work that ranges over much of the world's architectural heritage and testifies to some of the world's greatest achievements of the human spirit.
