More About This Title MASTER BUILDERS - HISTORY OF STRUCTURAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN FROM ANCIENT EGYPT TO THE NINETEENTH CENTURY
English
Centuries of architectural and building design achievements are explored from a structural and environmental point of view. Emphasis is on the Roman and Byzantine Empires, Gothic architecture, and the structures of the Renaissance and the Age of Reason, with briefer discussions of ancient Egypt and ancient Greece. The text includes extensive research results, uncommon photographs, and numerous illustrations, many from obscure books.
