Why do we find the idea of a multi-coloured Parthenon so shocking
today? Why was the Eiffel Tower such a target for hatred when it
was first built? Is the Sagrada Familia a work of genius or kitsch?
Why has Le Corbusier, one of the greatest of all architects, been
treated as a villain? This book examines the critical legacy of
both well known and either forgotten or underappreciated highpoints
in the history of world architecture. Through 70 engaging,
thought-provoking and often amusing debates, Jonathan Glancey
invites readers to take a fresh look at the reputations of the
masterpieces and great architects in history. You may never look at
architecture in the same way again!
