Buildings Across Time brilliantly explores the essential attributes
of architecture by uniquely combining both a detailed survey of
Western architecture, including Pre-Columbian America, and an
introduction to architecture from the Middle East, India, Russia,
China, and Japan. Authors have searched out the stories these
buildings have to tell, considered the intentions of the people who
built them, and examined the lives of those who used them. The text
contains extensive descriptive narrative leavened with focused
critical analysis, which both allows the book to stand alone and
invites lecturers to impose their studied interpretations on the
material without the danger of undue ambiguity or conflict. In a
world that grows smaller by the day, it presents a global
perspective, and in a discipline that concerns built objects that
are often beautiful as well as functional, it is copiously
illustrated, intelligently designed, and consistently usable.
