When the late Spiro Kostof's A History of Architecture appeared in 1985, it was universally hailed as a masterpiece-one of the finest books on architecture ever written. Now, updated and expanded, this classic reference continues to bring to readers the full array of civilization'sarchitectural achievements. Insightful, engagingly written and graced with close to a thousand superb illustrations, the Second Edition of this extraordinary volume offers a sweeping narrative that examines architecture as it reflects the social, economic, and technological aspects of human history. The scope of the book isastonishing. Kostof examines a surprisingly wide variety of man-made structures: prehistoric huts and the TVA, the pyramids of Giza and the Rome railway station, the ziggurat and the department store. Kostof considered every building worthy of attention, every structure a potential source ofinsight, whether it be prehistoric hunting camps at Terra Amata, or the caves at Lascaux with their magnificent paintings, or a twenty-story hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. | A History of Architecture by Spiro Kostof, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
