Architecture: The World’s Greatest Buildings

Architecture is civilisation made physical — the most permanent and most visible record of what human societies have valued, believed, and been capable of in every era of history. DK’s Architecture: The World’s Greatest Buildings is the most comprehensive visual celebration of this record ever assembled in a single volume: six hundred pages, thousands of photographs and drawings, and the complete story of human building from the earliest stone structures to the most ambitious contemporary projects.

Every major style, every significant building type, and every landmark structure — from the Parthenon and the Pantheon through Notre-Dame and the Taj Mahal, the Eiffel Tower and the Guggenheim, to the extraordinary buildings shaping the cities of the twenty-first century — receives the visual treatment and the analytical depth it deserves. Architectural drawings and plans make the structure of each building comprehensible even to non-specialists.

The ultimate architectural reference — a magnificent gift and an essential addition to any serious library. Published by DK.
