With a foreword by Peter St John. 1001 Buildings You Must See
Before You Die is a visual testament to the world's greatest
achievements in architecture. Beginning with the marvels of the
ancient world and continuing with the masterpieces of our present
day, this book details the historical and geographic considerations
that influenced the design, with stunning photographs illustrating
the technical ingenuity and aesthetic brilliance of architects past
and present. Comprehensive yet concise, each article includes
essential information about the featured structure: who designed
it, who commissioned it, key dates in its construction and more.
From B yzantine and Gothic wonders, through the incredible wealth
of the Renaissance and Baroque, and on to the marvels of the
twentieth century, this book also culminates with the achievements
of the past decade, such as Renzo Piano's towering Shard London
Bridge and the billowing glass sails of Frank Gehry's Fondation
Louis Vuitton in Paris. Featuring extra material including the
world's finest and most important public and residential buildings
from palaces, museums and ground-breaking new residences to unique
or unusual structures, such as the ancient Pueblo cliff dwellings
and rustic southern Italian trulli. 1001 Buildings You Must See
Before You Die is the complete yet accessible guide to the
architectural masterpieces of the world - a compendium of familiar
landmarks and undiscovered gems that will inform and delight
everyone with an interest in architecture.
