KlappentextCulture and Architecture: An Integrated History is a brief survey of architectural history, from its prehistoric origins to the present day. It explores architecture as the most prodigious and most visible art form, examines architecture's integral relationships with culture, and places the great monuments of the world within contexts that help explain why they were built and why they are considered great artistic works.
The text is organized into six major time divisions that explore prehistory, antiquity, late antiquity, the middle ages, the pre-modern era, and the modern era. Each chapter includes photographs and drawings of the most important works during that period, and the appendix lists important general architectural terms.
The third edition features new content on culture, civilization, cultural icons, aesthetic judgements, the functionality of art, architectural art, archaeology, and Post-modern architecture.
Culture and Architecture is an ideal course book for students in foreign studies, art, anthropology, history, or anyone interested in architecture and culture. It is written to foster an appreciation of architecture from students from all disciplines and fields of study.
