Product Description

What makes a great building? This is a question that has preoccupied architects, critics and travellers alike for centuries. Despite the rich variety of buildings around the world, no fully illustrated, specially photographed survey of the greats has been attempted. Until now. A world of beauty and genius is unveiled in over 350 photographs which take you on an epic journey celebrating the finest examples of architecture from over 2,000 years of civilization. Deftly splitting the history of architecture into two parts at AD1500, World Architecture: The Masterworks contains over 80 buildings, over 40 of which are featured in detailed photo essays. Will Pryces texts provide an extra dimension of understanding for the contexts, peoples and evolution of architectural history.

Customer Reviews

Stunning big book5
Bought this as a present for a fellow traveller rather than a book for someone interested in architeture. Wonderful photographs of places all over the world. Good to make a wish list of "must see" places. As I have not been able to read it myself I can only say that the person who received it was very pleased.
