This inspiring book chronicles the most influential ideas that have
shaped architecture. Entertainingly written by an expert on
architecture, it provides a concise history of the subject, and
offers a fascinating resource to dip into for the general reader.
Starting with the basic building 'components' of door, window,
column and beam and the Classical orders, it then goes on to
explore historical movements such as the Picturesque and
Beaux-Arts, innovative materials such as steel and reinforced
concrete, technical innovations, such as the lift and electric
lighting, through to modern movements such as Universal Design and
Deconstruction. Arranged in a broadly chronological order, the
ideas are presented through fascinating text and arresting visuals,
100 Ideas that Changed Architecture explores when each idea first
evolved and the subsequent impact it has had up to the present day.
