A world history of architecture / by Fazio, Michael W.(CARDINAL)515165; Moffett, Marian.(CARDINAL)734123; Wodehouse, Lawrence.(CARDINAL)147050;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 571-575) and index.Introduction -- The beginnings of architecture -- The Greek world -- The architecture of ancient India and southeast Asia -- Traditional architecture of China and Japan -- The Roman world -- Early Christian and Byzantine architecture -- Islamic architecture -- Early Medieval and Romanesque architecture -- Gothic architecture -- Indigenous architecture in the Americas and Africa -- Renaissance architecture -- Baroque architecture -- The eighteenth century -- Nineteenth-century developments -- The twentieth century and modernism -- Modernisms in the mid- and late-twenty-first [i.e. twentieth] century and beyond."In about 40 B.C.E. the Roman architect and engineer vitruvius declared firmitas, utilitas, and venustas - firmness, commodity, and delight - to be the three essential attributes of architecture. These qualities are brilliantly explored in this book, which uniquely comprises both a detailed survey of Western architecture, including pre-Columbian America, and an introduction to architecture from the Middle East India, Russia, China, and Japan. Written in a clear and engaging style, the text encourages readers to examine closely in photographs and line drawings the pragmatic, innovative, and aesthetic attributes of buildings, and to imagine how these would have been praised or criticized by contemporary observers. Architecture is discussed in various contexts - artistic, economic, environmental, political, social, and technological - so as to determine the extent to which buildings met the needs of clients, society at large, and future generations." "This book also examines the unique methods of great architects past and present. Among them are Alvar Aalto, Robert Adam, Leon Battista Alberti, Filippo Brunelleschi, Gustave Eiffel, Peter Eisenmain, Antonio Gaudl, Frank Gehry, Walter Gropius, Imhotep Le Corbusler, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Michelangelo, Glenn Murcutt, Andrea Palladio, Eero Saarinen, Koca Sinan, Louis Sullivan, Christopher Wren, and Frank Eloyd Wright.

Includes bibliographical references and index.In the middle -- At the start -- Charlemagne -- Feudalism -- The church -- Medieval architecture -- The Crusades -- The Hundred Years' War -- The Black Death -- Society changes -- The end? -- Key dates of the Middle Ages -- Glossary."The Middle Ages aren't just an uninteresting period of history trapped between ancient times and the Renaissance, as the name suggests. It's 1,000 years of fascinating historical events, including the Crusades, the Black Death, and the longest war that has ever been fought. This comprehensible book takes young historians on the journey from the beginning of medieval times--with the fall of the Roman Empire--to the end, often believed to be the invention of Gutenberg's printing press. Maps, historical artwork, and a timeline help readers understand the essential moments of the Middle Ages."--Provided by publisher.
