Synopsis
David Macaulay, author of The Way Things Work, explains three of the most fascinating and enduring structures humankind has ever created.
Inspired by his classic and award-winning Castle, Cathedral, and Mosque, Built to Last offers an engaging and in-depth look into architecture and design. Macaulay has revised texts based on updated research, created gorgeous new drawings, in some cases wholly reimagined scenes, while bringing Castle and Cathedral to life in full color for the very first time. The resulting illustrations add to the reader's understanding of these buildings, capturing intriguing new perspectives and depth of detail in structure and atmosphere.
This impeccably researched volume is not only a necessary addition to the bookshelf of any David Macaulay or architecture fan but will delight readers of all ages who are experiencing his work for the first time.
