Book, History of Architecture, A (Nuttgens) 2/15[LS]

Throughout history, the creation and structuring of the built environment have been at the forefront of human achievement. For this new edition of The History of Architecture, Patrick Nuttgens has updated the book and expanded the approach to the modern and contemporary periods. There was a complete restructuring of the work, which currently has more than 400 illustrations, half of which are in color. Maps, chronological tables, glossary, architect biographies and a comprehensive index are precious new resources. Through a clear and fluent narrative, using accessible language, the author uses his own experience to inspire the reader to enter the mind of the architect, always seeking to answer the question: “Why is this so?”.
