Featured Book: Architecture : a world history |

Architecture : a world history / Daniel Borden ... [et al] A nice pocket handbook for the architecture buff, yes. However, every so often a class assignment comes along asking someone to create a "timeline of architectural history". This is one of those books that will be helpful for that kind of assignment. Broad movements are laid out by years and then broken down into geographical and individual styles of architecture along time lines, including pre & early history, antiquity & early Christianity, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassicism, 19th Century, Architecture 1900-1945 and Architecture after 1945. This seems like a very nice resource! "Sections are dedicated to significant architectural movements, time lines that explore the evolution of the practice, and capsule biographies of great architects and examinations of their masterpieces."
