Buildings of every shape and size and from all corners of the
world, populate this colourful and beautifully produced book that
introduces children to history's most iconic architectural feats
and the people behind them. In lively illustrated spreads, young
readers will learn how Christopher Wren reconstructed an
11th-century cathedral after London's great fire of 1666 to become
the St Paul's Cathedral that we know today and how its dome
survived the Blitz. They will find out how Thomas Jefferson, in
building his plantation, Monticello, created a new architecture for
a new nation. They will be introduced to the genius of Frank Lloyd
Wright, Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe and Zaha Hadid and can
examine in detail the wonders of the Eiffel Tower, the Guggenheim
Museum in Bilbao, Spain and Rome's most beautiful theatre. The book
proceeds chronologically, accompanied by a timeline to offer
helpful historical context. Each architect's entry includes a
concise biography, illustrations of major works and lively texts
that speak directly to young readers. Additional information about
the buildings pictured, suggestions for further reading and online
resources will satisfy the most curious of minds.
