Understanding Architecture by Jeremy Melvin
A new edition of the bestselling introduction to design styles and movements in architecture. This is an easy-to-use guide to a wide range of architectural styles, from classical times through to the post-modern era. For each style there is a definition, an introduction to the topic, a list of key architects, keywords, and major works as well as suggestions of other styles you might be interested in. This new edition now includes four brand new chapters covering Performatism, Ornamentalism, Giganticism and Bioclimatism. Understanding Architecture is a must for anyone interested in architecture and wanting to know more - whether you are a sightseer, a visitor of historic buildings or an architecture connoisseur.
