This book is an introduction to the artistic urge that impels humans to build, as well as to the structural properties that enable buildings to stand up, exploring the pragmatic concerns of space, function, structure, and design of architecture.
This widely acclaimed, beautifully illustrated survey of Western architecture is now fully revised throughout, including essays on non-Western traditions. The expanded book vividly examines the structure, function, history, and meaning of architecture in ways that are both accessible and engaging.
