This impressive book by acclaimed television historian Dan Cruickshank tells the story of architecture through the stories of 100 iconic buildings.
With a journey through time and place, from the ancient Egyptian pyramids to the imposing skyscrapers of Manhattan, Dan Cruickshank explores the most impressive and distinctive creations of global architecture.
His selection includes some of the most well-known buildings in the world that represent defining or groundbreaking moments in architectural history, such as the Pantheon in Rome, Hagia Sophia in Turkey, the Taj Mahal in India, and the Forbidden City in China.
However, the book also covers less apparent and more astonishing structures, the often unrecognized heroes of an endlessly fascinating story. Buildings like the Oriel Chambers in Liverpool and the Narkomfin apartment building in Moscow.
Dan Cruickshank has visited almost all the buildings included in the book, many of them in locations that are now inaccessible and under serious threat. "A History of Architecture in 100 Buildings" is an imaginative and often moving testimony to the power of great architecture to shape and be shaped by global history.
