Description
This engaging volume introduces children to history's most iconic architectural feats and the people behind them. Buildings from around the world are showcased in lively illustrated spreads, revealing how they were designed and built.
From the reconstruction of St Paul's Cathedral after London's great fire of 1666, to the creation of Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's plantation, this book explores the genius of famous architects like Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, and Zaha Hadid.
Each architect's entry includes a concise biography, illustrations of major works, and lively texts that speak directly to young readers. Additional information about the buildings pictured, suggestions for further reading, and online resources are also included to satisfy curious minds.
