The Picture History of Great Buildings Résumé

The Picture History of Great Buildings Gillian Clements

Here is the history of the buildings that have shaped the world in which we live, ranging from Stonehenge and the Step Pyramid, to the high-rises that dominate our city skylines today. Each page features one building and looks at its history, its builders and the impact the style had on its contemporaries. Along the bottom is a timeline showing what other buildings were being constructed at that time in other parts of the world and how they reflect the growth of the societies in which they were designed and built.

The Picture History of Great Buildings Avis

Spectacular architectural creations throughout history, from the Parthenon to St Paul's and The Globe to the Guggenheim Museum, are introduced to children in this lavish picture books... A fantastic addition to any non-fiction collection. -- Georgina Hanratty Publishing News What a super book! If anything would inspire a 10 to 12 year old with the ambition to become and architect, this will. School Librarian A real treasure. It is crammed tightly full with pictures of the world's greatest buildings and each is load-bearing enough to have information all over the place without the page appearing unbalanced or crowded in any way. The order is chronological from the needs of migratory peoples through all the ages of civilisation, with some specific focus on buildings like the Taj Mahal and Sydney Opera House. The drawings are so full of detail that they will be the cause of much exploratory poring over, and it is all so brilliantly designed that the subject becomes fascinating even for anyone only vaguely interested enough to open the book.
