Description
"Architecture: The Critics' Choice is a chronological tour of the world's architectural masterpieces - from the Classical period to Modernism and beyond. Each contributor discusses 15 personal choices, offering the reader a varied selection: buildings known throughout the world, such as the Parthenon and Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water, are found alongside architectural treasures that have, until now, been the private pleasures of experts.". "Each building is described in detail in an essay that gives the critic's personal reasons for his or her choice; covers who built it and why; discusses aspects of design, materials used, and construction; and supplies an overview of the broader social context in which the building was created."--BOOK JACKET.
