Description

|
|
|
Intelligently adjudged and gorgeously photographed, the 500 buildings and structures in this book form a first-rate chronology of the evolution of architecture, focusing primarily on the Western tradition but also looking to significant examples from all over the world. From the Citadel of Uchisar in Anatolia, dating back more than 5500 years, it includes the Great Stupa in Sanchi, India (200 BC); Caernarfon Castle, Wales (1339); Novodevichi Convent, Moscow (1500); Zwinger Palace, Dresden (1722); Fort Henry in Kingston, Ontario (1837); the Monadnock Building, Chicago (1891); the Pentagon, Washington, D.C. (1943); National Congress, Brasilia, Brazil (1960); Institut du Monde Arab, Paris (1987); and National Stadium, Beijing (2008).
