Présentation de l'éditeur
The lastest in the popular Crash Course series that includes ART, OPERA and MOVIES.
ARCHITECTURE - A CRASH COURSE is a user friendly guide to the one art form we all have to live with. You can avoid poetry, painting and music but architecture? We look at it, live in it, work in it. Who builds this stuff? What planet are they on? Why do they do things the way they do, how do they decide what will look good, and why do they so often get it wrong? ARCHITECTURE - A CRASH COURSE leads you through the building site of our architectural heritage and inspects the towering egos that support it, showing how styles evolved, how they influenced each other and how technical advances changed the urban landscape.
