ENCY OF ARCHITECTURE by Doreen Yarwood

Sets out both the broad sweep and the detail of Western architectural heritage in over 1,200 coherently organized essays. The book looks at architects, designers, architectural styles, detail and ornament, building types (ecclesiastical, domestic, civic, educational and entertainment), structural terms, building materials and much more. To guide the reader in locating references to topics which are not the subject of separate articles, there is a separate index to over 4,000 subjects. Over 1000 drawings and photographs accompany the text.

Doreen Yarwood has lectured in schools, universities, and art colleges across the United Kingdom and abroad over the past thirty years. Encyclopaedia of Architecture, A Timeline of Western Architecture, and The English House are among her key works on architectural history.
