Anyone with an interest in buildings and the built environment
would do well to purchase a copy of Owen Hopkins' book. - Monocle
This innovative and unique book is a visual guide to the buildings
that surround us. Architectural features are pinpointed and
labelled on images of buildings so that, unlike with other
architectural dictionaries, you don't have to know the name before
looking it up. Clear line drawings and extensive colour photographs
illustrate each of the main building types, from forts to churches,
stately homes to skyscrapers. The individual structural elements
and materials common to all buildings are then explained, whether
in Classical, Gothic or Modernist style. A comprehensive glossary
completes the book. This revised edition includes an expanded
section on modern structures and materials, as well as the latest
styles and concepts from the last ten years. A must for all lovers
of architecture and those who would like to learn more Over 11,000
copies sold in English worldwide Covers all key building types and
styles, from cathedrals to skyscrapers, Classical to contemporary.
Each building type is illustrated with extensive photographs and
annotated drawings Contains a comprehensive glossary of
architectural terms
