A Global History of Architecture

Dostępność: na zamówienie There are several books surveying the history of architecture, but until A Global History of Architecture was published, they were all derivatives of earlier histories of Western architecture, with newer chapters tacked on to address "non-Western" areas. A Global History of Architecture transcends older models of architectural history by taking a fresh look at the world as a whole, and looking at what went on in different parts at specific time periods. With escalating globalization, the shift from the traditional "Euro-centric" model of looking at history is sure to increase, toward a history of architecture beyond Europe and the United States. This truly global perspective turned scholarship of architectural history on its head, and it will never be the same again.
