Krátky popis
This atlas of architectural wonders eschews the classic children's
book fare of the Pyramids and the Taj Mahal, and instead takes a
broader view of what constitutes amazing architecture. Buildings
include: the Jameh mosque of Isfahan? in Iran, Native American
plank houses in New Mexico, Stave Churches in Norway, The
Djinguereber mosque in Mali, and extraordinary 18th century wooden
churches on Kizhi Island, Russia. Over 50 buildings span all the
continents equally throughout history.Each of these buildings is
visually striking and architecturally noteworthy, they introduce
new engineering technologies or define a movement or capture the
essence of a moment in human history. They epitomise the ambition
and vison of an architect or a patron. But although most of them
have been recognized by UNESCO or other agencies, they are not part
of the main Western architectural canon.This book seeks out a more
diverse, inclusive approach to what constitutes amazing
architecture, and presents it with fresh illustration and clear,
punchy text.
