Description

Will Pryce unveils a world of beauty and genius in this unparalleled, specially photographed survey of the world s architectural master- pieces. More than 350 color photographs celebrate the finest buildings from over two thousand years of civilization: Hagia Sophia, the Gothic cathedrals of Europe, Islamic masterworks at Isfahan, the Taj Mahal, the Palace of Westminster, Gehry s iconic Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, and much more.There are some eighty buildings featured, more than forty of which receive in-depth attention in detailed photo essays. Pryce s accompanying texts and commentaries provide an extra dimension of understanding for the contexts in which they were created, and of the evolution of architecture through history.
