Architecture in Context is a series of seven books describing and
illustrating all the seminal traditions of architecture from the
earliest settlements in the Euphrates and Jordan valleys to the
stylistically and technologically sophisticated buildings of the
second half of the twentieth century. It brings together the fruits
of the author's lifetime of teaching and travelling the world,
seeing and photographing buildings in an extraordinary synthesis.
Each stand-alone volume sets the buildings described and
illustrated within their political, technological, social and
cultural contexts, exploring architecture not only as the
development of form but as an expression of the civilization within
which it evolved. The series focuses on the story of the Classical
tradition from its origins in Mesopotamia and Egypt, through its
realization in ancient Greece and Rome, to the Renaissance,
Neo-Classicism, Eclecticism and Modernism. This thread is
supplemented with detailed excursions to cover the development of
architecture in Central America, India, South-East Asia, and the
Islamic world. For students of architecture and art history, for
travellers, and for readers who want to understand the genesis of
the buildings they see around them, each volume provides a
complete, readable and superbly illustrated reference.
