Graphic History of Architecture

Rating:
Summary: Excellent illustrations explaining architecture.
Review: This book is true to its title. It is a history of architecture, but first of all it is visual. The full-page illustrative examples explain the concepts and terminology of architecture. Want to know what a flying buttress is, a picture tells a thousand words. Years ago I saw this book in a library and have been searching to buy it ever since. Now it's been republished at a rather high price for a large format paperback.
