For History of Architecture courses in departments of Art, Design, Art History and Architecture. Moving back and forth between the long view of historical trends and close-ups on major works and crucial architectural themes, this insightful, lively and original modern survey reinvigorates conventional period and thematic structures of architectural history and revitalizes the canon of great buildings. Designed to help students understand and appreciate great architecture and its history, the lavishly illustrated text explains specific qualities of periods in depth and the complex illuminating differences between them in social, intellectual, and aesthetic terms. Exceptionally detailed coverage of the modern age (18th century to the present).

Great Book
| Customer Rating: | | The book arrived earlier than expected. It is a book I needed and could only find on Amazon. I am grateful that the book came in the condition that was describe to me. I encourage people to check out this book. |
This is THE story of Western Architecture
| Customer Rating: | I am a Registered architect(with National Certification), Registered Interior Designer and instructor of Architectural History. Trachtenberg and Hyman have written the definitive history of western architecture in this tract. The reading is awkward at times, but the ideas conveyed comprise the foundation of todays architectural theory. There are few, if any textbooks on this subject which maintain a consistant thread of thought all the way through. This one does. If you are vitally interested in the underpinnings of today's designs, you should read it.

Didactic and moribund overuse of words to describe simple truths.
| Customer Rating: | It does not take a whole lot of verbiage or a Ph.D. to describe what the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, or the modern Americans have achieved in constructing their architecture. This book is written with an unecessary amount of big words and is extremely abstract throughout and tends to over-explains simple architectural realms. It does have great color photos.
If you want to read an excellent architectural book buy or read Sir Banister Fletcher's Architecture. |
