book: a global history of architecture
well, in every great course you study in, you will always came up with the ‘big ass book’. for example, there is always a big ass book of laws for lawyers and big ass book of art for art students. and there you go- I’m going to announce the winner of the title, ‘big ass book of architecture’;
a global history of architecture
- francis dk ching, mark m jarzombek, vikramaditya prakash
- published by wileys
I’ve finished the book, and I admit it’s really a lot of information – but hey, if youre trying to substantially increase your knowledge in architecture, this is it.
I give, two glue-stained thumb-ups!
a quote from the book;
“Architecture, like civilization itself, was born in our prehistory, and was plural from the beginning.”
