1001 Buildings You Must See Before You Die is a visual testament to
the beauty, grace, and fortitude of the world's greatest
architectural achievements. Beginning in the ancient and Near East,
the book explores buildings from the Byzantine and Gothic
architecture of the Middle Ages through to splendid contemporary
innovations. The book is not only concerned with size - it also
includes some of the world's most remarkable domestic buildings,
such as the Mongolian yurt and houses of the American pioneers, as
well as railway buildings, chapels, casinos, concert halls,
gentlemen's clubs, and museums, cherished often for the way they
represent and capture a particular moment in history. Comprehensive
and concise entries contain essential information on what is
special about the buildings, their structural processes, and the
social, political and geographical considerations of the architects
who designed them. An aspiring visual testimony to the
extraordinary creative capabilities of the architects, engineers,
and builders, this book also contains information on the tools and
methods they used. 1001 Buildings You Must See Before You Die is
the complete companion to the outstanding architecture of the
world.
