The Visual Dictionary of Architecture by Gavin Ambrose

The Visual Dictionary of Architecture by Gavin Ambrose

This book is a guide to the many and varied terms used frequently within architecture. From Column to Cornice, Skyscraper to Ha-Ha, this book will prove an invaluable resource to anyone interested in architecture. Each term is explained and contextualised, giving the reader an enhanced understanding of architectural terminology. More than 270 common architecture terms are distilled and illustrated. From practical terms such as Vaulted, Spire and Cladding to conceptual terms such as Modernism and Postmodernism, including modern terminology and many of the traditional terms still in current usage. "The Visual Dictionary of Architecture" is produced in collaboration with a leading London architectural practice and an architectural historian.

'This is a nice little reference title, easy to use and well laid out from a graphic perspective.. the mix of photos, diagrams and drawings keeps the text fresh and offers examples of visualization useful to students.' Hans Hermann, Mississippi State University, USA. 'This would be an excellent pocket reference for a new student starting their studies in Architecture. Easy to read and a good price.'
