A Global History of Architecture by Francis D K Ching
Written by a stellar team of architectural educators, this richly illustrated reference is packed with detailed photographs and features drawings by the world-renowned Francis D.K. Ching. This is the first book on architectural history to organize material along a continuous timeline that runs from prehistory to the present.
"The book's most informative and attractive feature is its illustrations, hundreds of drawings by Ching, a noted author and architectural illustrator" (Choice, March 2007) "...a unique and ambitious undertaking..." (The London Review of books, November 2006) "Extremely informative, it will no doubt become a standard reference book." (The Herald {Glasgow}, Saturday 15th December 2007)
