Architectural History Retold by Paul Davies
Roadmap for your journey through the history of architecture. Covering Ancient Greece to the present day, Paul Davies' unconventional, engaging style helps you to think beyond individual components and styles to recognise the bigger picture."We're going to buy everybody in the office a copy!" - Clive Sall, Clive Sall Architecture, London, UK
"Paul Davies’ erudite and (sometimes) misanthropic insights into architectural culture have entertained me for 25 yearsHis thinking was a key influence on my own as it has been for countless students who have enjoyed his unique take on the subject. His scholarship, critical insight, and the ability to place architectural history into a relevant cultural context are all beautifully captured here. Davies shows why architectural history matters. It is a brilliant introduction to the subject." - Sean Griffiths, Founding Director of FAT and Professor of Architecture, University of Westminster, London, UK
