内容説明

With architecture, more than with other arts, the key to enjoyment is understanding. Great Architecture of the World presents a concise history of architecture in a detailed yet straightforward manner. . This is the chronicle of the greatest monuments created by mankind, told by fourteen of the most distinguished architectural historians, and beautifully illustrated with more than 800 original diagrams, annotated drawings, and superb photographs, many in full color. Beginning with the ancient civilizations of the East and the Americas, the book goes on to relate the spectacular developments that took place in Europe and the Western World, from the earliest temples of Mesopotamia to the most advanced structures of the twentieth century. } Great Architecture of the World is not only a major and lasting reference work, but also an aesthetic treasure. For the student its style of illustration is explicit and informative; for the traveler a gazetteer is added, giving a country-by-country listing of the worlds greatest buildings; and for all of us, this volume provides an exciting and compelling history of our common architectural heritage. }
