- Synopsis
-
Just as the design of architecture can be avant-garde while at the same time being reflective, the format contained herein offers a pictorially-centric layout while containing related briefs. As a text book that accompanies the lecture portion of a traditional “ground” course, the details are delivered in the classroom and they come in the form of a semester-long story. To see the figures, hear the stories, and “jot down” notes and highlights, is to retain; retain a visual memory of architecture and correlate the application it has to its cause to be built.
The author has taught Architecture of the World for almost two decades. Though several books are suggested as recommended readings, there has never been an assigned text book as no one book has been found to deliver the content in a way that parallels the author’s “contagious enthusiasm” for teaching history through stories and experiences.
The content of this book represents an ongoing accumulation of the author’s experiences, photographs, research, and of course - stories, as lived through travel-study around the world that he has led more than a thousand learners on. It is meant to be more of an album, a record, that along with the live lectures results in a semester-long story of the history of all of us!
