Description:We take buildings for granted, the large, the small, the round, the square. We see buildings every day of our lives, we move in and out of them, live, work and play in them. But why are some built of stone, some of bricks, some of ice, and some of wood? Why do some last for centuries while others fall down too soon and become unstable?This fascinating book explores the intriguing world of architecture and gives the answers to these questions and many, many more. For the history of the great art of building reads like a detective story in which architects and builders, during hundreds of years, have investigated new methods of construction, solved thousands of difficult problems and found new ways of bringing grace and style to their buildings - the houses, schools, temples and palaces, churches, theatres, and castles.The book describes, also, some of the constructions which turned out to be too big, too unwieldy, or the wrong shape; and, on the other hand, buildings such as medieval castles, which sometimes took two hundred years to complete and which are still standing today.You will be encouraged to go out into your neighborhood and look afresh at the buildings around you with a new eye; to appreciate the resourcefulness and care which architects employ to make their buildings as useful, comfortable and good looking as possible.There are dozens of magnificent illustrations, some in black and white, many in splendid color, of buildings all over the world, to add to the reader's enjoyment of this truly remarkable book.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
