If you don’t know your Baroque from your Rococo, or the difference between Art Nouveau and Art Deco, or where Modernism ends and Postmodernism begins, then don’t fear, you’re not alone. Understanding Architecture will reveal all.
From the ancient world to the present day, from medieval Cambodian temples to Paris metro stations, from American shotgun shacks to colonial villas, fascist grandeur to the latest ecologically friendly structures, the book expertly guides the reader through the world’s different architectural styles.
Arranged chronologically, over two spreads a major building is used to illustrate a particular style – King’s College Chapel, Cambridge for Perpendicular Gothic, the Palace of Versailles for Baroque, the Chrysler Building for Art Deco. Each entry is illustrated with both general view photographs and close-ups, accompanied by accessible text explaining the major features of the style. Each chapter also offers a general cultural background to the major architectural movements, putting them into historical context.
Illustrated with more than 200 outstanding photographs of remarkable buildings, Understanding Architectureis an excellent, accessible introduction to the history of architecture.
