I enjoyed this book. There is no fluff here, nothing extra. Its just a great overview of some great buildings, architectural styles and materials. The photographs are beautiful and the writing crisp and clear. I recommend this book for anyone who wants an introduction to architecture and some insights in the buildings around us or that predate us. - Goodreads reviewer.
I am an architect and most certainly enjoyed this book. (...) T]he chapters Elements and Materials are a nice take on architectural history and will offer valuable information for non professionals I see this book as an encyclopaedia to get basic information on various topics. But the very short chapters are really just a starting point. The images are very helpful throughout and the layout is clean and helps the reader navigate the book. You are looking for a Short Story of Architecture? That is exactly what you get, in the best possible way. - Goodreads reviewer.
