Description
Discover the hidden stories behind the buildings that surround us. Carol Davidson Cragoe's comprehensive guide, How to Read Buildings, takes you on a journey through the historical and architectural clues embedded in every structure, from ancient Greek temples to modern-day skyscrapers.
This practical primer is packed with expert advice on how to identify and interpret buildings, along with an accessible visual guide to architectural styles and structural elements. With detailed engravings and text, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the key characteristics of buildings from every period, and be able to put them in their historical context.
Small enough to carry in your pocket, yet serious enough to provide real answers, How to Read Buildings is the perfect companion for anyone interested in architecture and the built environment.
