50 architecture ideas you really need to know

More about the book

"Exploring the myriad ways in which the built environment has been shaped and created throughout history, [author] explains the key concepts and ideas in architecture clearly and concisely. ... Spanning architecture's earliest roots in ancient Greece, the revolutionary developments of the late 19th century, and the sculptural forms of the expressionists, through to the pared-down, concrete-and-glass buildings of the International Style, and the irony and allusion seen in postmodernism, and the very latest directions of today's green architecture, this essential guide offers a new and informed understanding of architecture and an appreciation of its profound impact on the world in which we live."--Jacket
