Product Details

Product Description

From Booklist

DK's trademark visual verve is applied to this volume in the Eyewitness Companions series. Brief text accompanies numerous, albeit sometimes very small, color photographs, providing a whirlwind tour through the architectural elements, styles, and landmarks of the ages and slightly updating Glancey's The Story of Architecture (2000). Though it's no substitute for standard texts, this is an inexpensive way to add an architecture resource. Mary Ellen Quinn

5.0 out of 5 stars My 12-yr-old daughter loves it, Jun 25 2010

This review is from: Eyewitness Companions Architecture (Paperback)
I bought this book for my 12-yr-old daughter when she said that she wanted to explore architecture. She loves it very much and she decides to carry this book in her personal suitcase when we move from NYC to Taipei next month. Those wordings were not easy for her, an non-native English speaker, but she lapped those pictures up. This is a wonderful reading experience for her.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blown Away!, July 1 2011
By The Eye "<O>" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Eyewitness Companions Architecture (Paperback)
This book is a treasure trove of information and a darn good photographic reference (I say "good" instead of "great" because the book is small and so the pictures are, by necessity, even smaller). That said, I was truly impressed by the breadth of architecture covered in this book. I think you will be, too. Scores of buidlings from just about every age and major civilization grace the pages in this volume.

I bought this book looking for reference material for my art work. I thought it performed a great job of showing many diverse types of architecture and very useful for ideas. I would recommend it.
