內容簡介: |
The latest in this successful series, this book features
around 150 of the most important buildings in the history of world
architecture from the pyramids and Parthenon to some of the most
significant works by recent architects. The buildings are organized
by type from places of worship and public buildings to houses and
are divided into nine chapters, each with an informative
introduction that surveys the history of that type. For each
building there are numerous, accurate scale drawings showing a
combination of floor plans, elevations and sections as appropriate,
all specially redrawn for this book. The quality and number of the
line drawings, together with the authoritative text by a renowned
architectural historian, allow all the buildings to be understood
in detail and make this an invaluable resource for students.
