Architecture: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions): summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Architecture: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This highly original and sophisticated look at architecture helps us to understand the cultural significance of the buildings that surround us. It avoids the traditional style-spotting approach and instead gives us an idea of what it is about buildings that moves us, and what it is that makes them important artistically and culturally. The book begins by looking at how architecture acquires meaning through tradition, and concludes with the exoticism of the recent avant-garde period. Illustrations of particular buildings help to anchor the general points with specific examples, from ancient Egypt to the present day.
