From the Dust Jacket: "This history of western architecture extends well beyond merely surveying major buildings and styles: it introduces the reader to new ways of seeing and understanding them. The expert contributors look at the buildings of each era from ancient Greece to the present day, tracing the development of architecture within each period in turn. For example they examine the masterpieces of Chartres Cathedral in the light of advances in medieval technology, and the houses of Frank Lloyd Wright in the context of the social and aesthetic upheavals of the early twentieth century. Attention is also paid to the often neglected aspects of vernacular houses and town planning."
