Without solidity, it is dangerous; without usefulness, it is merely large~scale sculpture, and without beauty, it is no more than utilitarian construction," write the authors of Architecture: From Prehistory to Post~Modernism, and in their book they deal brilliantly with this triple aspect of a complex art that touches all our lives. Viewing architectural history in broad terms as a series of dynamic innovations, Professors Trachtenberg and Hyman take into consideration what caused dramatic changes in construction and taste, where influences have originated and what their effects have been, and how technological advances the elevator, iron, steel, and glass~have molded our surroundings. Beginning the story with early prehistoric structures, they carry the thread of architectural inventiveness through nine thousand years of civilization. Architectural peaks in every age are described, with emphasis on major buildings, which are presented in great detail; these are supplemented by a huge cast of other works, all set in the matrix that nourished them: social and political events. As this splendid survey of Western architecture demonstrates, nowhere is the spirit of the times so well revealed as in great structures, both public and private. Architecture: From Prehistory to Post~Modernism is above all a history of remarkable buildings, groups of buildings, the styles in which they were built, and the architects responsible for them. Stonehenge is the focus of prehistory. The Acropolis in Athens is the centerpiece of the chapter on Greek architecture, as is the Pantheon for Roman. Hagia Sophia commands attention in the Early Christian and Byzantine chapter. The great cathedrals receive careful examination in the Gothic period. Rome and Florence take center stage in the Renaissance and Baroque ages. Claude Nicolas Ledoux and Etienne~Louis Boullée convey their visions in the chapter dealing with the eighteenth century, while Paris, with the Ecole des Beaux~Arts and the Opéra, sets the pace for the nineteenth century. The modern age is treated in unusual detail: Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Mies van der Rohe dominate the twentieth century. But hundreds of remarkable samples of architectural ingenuity by living architects~including works by such Post~Modern masters as Robert Venturi, Charles Moore, Michael Graves, Philip Johnson, James Stirling, and Arata Isozaki~round out the picture. This fascinating cultural history, tracing architectural tradition from its beginnings, is richly illustrated on every page. The chapters are purposely varied: some concentrate on stylistic changes, others on building types, still others on chronological events. In every case the authors have succeeded in conveying the quintessential quality of historic buildings, their creators, their times. A glossary of architectural terms, an extensive list of books for further reading, and a detailed index are an integral part of this comprehensive book. The abundant photographs, many of them by Professor Trachtenberg, of exteriors, inte.…
