If you don't know your Baroque from your Rococo, or the difference
between Art Nouveau and Art Deco, or where Modernism ends and
Postmodernism begins, then don't fear, you're not alone.
Understanding Architecture will reveal all. From the ancient world
to the present day, from medieval Cambodian temples to Paris metro
stations, from American shotgun shacks to colonial villas, fascist
grandeur to the latest ecologically friendly structures, the book
expertly guides the reader through the world's different
architectural styles. Arranged chronologically, over two spreads a
major building is used to illustrate a particular style - King's
College Chapel, Cambridge for Perpendicular Gothic, the Palace of
Versailles for Baroque, the Chrysler Building for Art Deco. Each
entry is illustrated with both general view photographs and
close-ups, accompanied by accessible text explaining the major
features of the style. Each chapter also offers a general cultural
background to the major architectural movements, putting them into
historical context. Illustrated with more than 200 outstanding
photographs of remarkable buildings, Understanding Architectureis
an excellent, accessible introduction to the history of
architecture.
