In this refreshingly accessible history of world architecture, popular commentator Jonathan Glancey conducts an inspiring odyssey through 5,000 years of magnificent buildings, from ancient Sumeria to the spectacular glass-and-steel towers of today's cityscapes, via Buddhist harmony, Baroque excess and Modernist funtionalism. An unprecedented collection of full-colour photographs, artworks and plans blends with sparkling prose to create a memorable story, told with passion and insight.
