Aspiring architects will be in their element Explore this
illustrated narrative history of buildings for young readers, an
amazing construction in itself.
We spend most of our lives in buildings. We make our homes in them.
We go to school in them. We work in them. But why and how did
people start making buildings? How did they learn to make them
stronger, bigger, and more comfortable? Why did they start to
decorate them in different ways? From the pyramid erected so that
an Egyptian pharaoh would last forever to the dramatic,
machine-like Pompidou Center designed by two young architects,
Patrick Dillon's stories of remarkable buildings -- and the
remarkable people who made them -- celebrates the ingenuity of
human creation. Stephen Biesty's extraordinarily detailed
illustrations take us inside famous buildings throughout history
and demonstrate just how these marvelous structures fit together.
