From the Publisher
A study of the world's greatest architectural achievements.
From the beautifully constructed cathedrals of carved stone and intricate structures of glass and steel, to imposing skyscrapers that dominate the horizons, architecture surrounds us.
It can be functional in providing a home, work space or public area, or it can be a form of art that is different to any other in that we do not merely look at it, but interact with it, walk through it, and live in it, on a daily basis.
Architecture a Visual History takes the reader on a guided tour to some of the finest, most breathtaking architectural locations in the world. To Egypt, for example, where the ancient pyramids are an enduring reminder of past dynasties, which were adept at creating monumental and complex structures that have withstood the test of time.
It would be unfair to describe one building as any better than the next, as each, like a work of art exists within its own time and space. All of the structures within this book are unique, yet show the changing tastes and styles in architecture around the world and throughout the centuries. Author James Neal puts this into perspective and with more than 400 stunning colour photographs, of buildings ranging form the ancient to the avant-garde, offers a world of art and science that meets fashion and function.
