About This Book

A comprehensive, illustrated survey traces architectural development across civilizations from ancient monumental traditions through classical, Byzantine, Islamic, Indian, East Asian, and later modern styles. It combines stylistic description, measured plans and restorations, comparative analysis of construction and ornament, and discussion of aesthetic principles and ethnographic influences. The work groups building types and regional schools, often revising earlier interpretations in light of new archaeological measurements and photographs, and offers critical notes on plan arrangements, lighting, and structural systems. Numerous plates and diagrams accompany the text to support assessments of form, proportion, and historical sequence.
