Architectural Styles

A Visual Guide, Second Edition
A clear and easy-to-navigate guide to identifying the key styles of western architecture from the classical age to the present day.
Have you ever wondered what the difference is between Gothic and Gothic Revival, or how to distinguish between Baroque and Neoclassical? This richly illustrated chronological survey takes readers through architectural styles and movements from Ancient Greece to the present. A chapter is devoted to each period, with a general explanation, followed by a series of spreads devoted to subcategories of that period. Images with extended captions explain concepts and elements clearly so that readers can recognize styles and elements in the buildings they see around them. This revised edition brings the story right up to date, with a fully updated chapter on contemporary architecture, including features on biomimicry, activism, earth practices, post-human and virtual architecture.
