More about the book
Review: "How have innovations in architecture and engineering come about? Who tested new approaches and when were important discoveries and experiments accepted? This book illuminates the history and development of building, in all its constructive, technical and cultural aspects, from the Industrial Revolution to the present and into the future. One hundred case scenarios articulate how new ideas, their context and ideology, became integral parts of the build environment. It also discusses which technical and creative mediums the pioneers and protagonists of the various trends and schools of thought used to articulate their ideas. The insightful texts and numerous images make this volume an essential handbook of architectural and structural history for students and professionals."--BOOK JACKET
