Arches to Zigzags introduces its audience (both young and old) to
the world of architecture through the alphabet. It challenges young
readers with new words and images, while adults will widen their
own knowledge of architecture. Captivating images and clever
wordplay entertain folks of all ages to explore the built
environment. The book begins its journey through architecture with
an Arch (for the letter A), then a Balcony, and next on to Column
Capitals. Along the way, readers will learn about some
less-familiar architectural examples (like Finial, for instance),
Keystone, Obelisk, and Quoin. Each letter and its corresponding
image are described with light verse, which asks the reader some
quick questions about what they see. This colourful, lively, and
entertaining book closes with some thoughts about what architecture
is, why it's important, and where you'll find examples of
architecture in the buildings you visit and use every day. There's
also information on the location and history of each of the 26
beautiful images in the book, in case you want to check them out on
your own. Created by an architect, writer, photographer, and
librarian, Arches to Zigzags connects architecture with the letters
of the alphabet, from A to Z.
