Description
For over sixty years Sir Nikolaus Pevsner's study of European architecture has been regarded as a seminal work which has inspired countless students of architecture around the world. In this updated, larger format edition, which also has a new and elegant design and completely new drawings, an extra dimension is provided through the integration of over 200 superb colour photographs. Through his perceptive understanding of the heritage of past civilizations, and in the delineation of the buildings that continue to be recognized as the greatest symbols of artistic endeavour, Pevsner remains the essential guide and companion.
