About this title

Synopsis:

Centuries of architectural and building design achievements are explored from a structural and environmental point of view. Emphasis is on the Roman and Byzantine Empires, Gothic architecture, and the structures of the Renaissance and the Age of Reason, with briefer discussions of ancient Egypt and ancient Greece. The text includes extensive research results, uncommon photographs, and numerous illustrations, many from obscure books.
