Architectural Details
Do you know a Doric column when you see one? Of course. But what about an entablature, a hypostyle, a pylon, or a pagoda?
Architectural Details renders accessible, to students and non-students alike, the vast range of architectural terminology used to describe buildings.
The chronological arrangement of the book allows the reader to place elements, forms, techniques and styles firmly within their context.
Beautifully engraved plates of great works of architectural history accompany the text to illustrate the architecture of civilisations from around the world and throughout history, from Ancient Egypt to the Industrial Revolution.
