Väčšina z nás každý deň minie stovky budov a už na prvý pohľad rozozná, že niektoré z nich sú čímsi iné alebo zvláštne. Ale čím sa odlišujú? Kedy boli postavené a prečo? Naša publikácia vám pomôže nájsť odpovede na tieto otázky a naučí vás abecedu, ktorú potrebujete, aby ste porozumeli jazyku architektúry. Je to ako s akýmkoľvek iným jazykom: najprv sa musíte naučiť základy, keď však už nadobudnete istotu v jeho štruktúre, dokážete porozumieť čomukoľvek. Pomocou podrobných grafických listov celých budov i jednotlivých častí sa naučíte rozoznávať charakteristické rysy stavieb pochádzajúcich z najrôznejších období od starovekého Grécka až po súčasnosť.… (mais)

I got this book, to understand structures, buildings. The book is laid out from Building types and goes into details of towers, chimneys, and ornaments. Roman architecture, palladian stood out the most to me. A lot of new definitions, terms in this discipline, to outsiders.

The Author mentions to find out similarities in styles, and then read buildings.

An excellent introduction to Architectural Styles. I would recommend this to everyone.

I didn't find this book very helpful. First I tried to read it, cover-to-cover, to try and get a sense of styles, but the organization didn't but the things related to the same style together. Then I tried to pick out features on buildings and look them up to determine the style, but the styles listed under each feature wasn't comprehensive enough to use for this purpose. I remain unsure of the author's intent. The illustrations, however, are excellent, and the two page "Looking for Clues" at the front was helpful.… (mais)
