A History of Western Architecture Seventh Edition

English

By (author): David Watkin Owen Hopkins

Far and away the best narrative of western architecture in existence...it stands out as an intellectual triumph. - Sir John Summerson

In this highly acclaimed, classic reference work David Watkin traces the history of western architecture from the earliest times in Mesopotamia and Egypt to the late twentieth century. For this seventh edition, revising author Owen Hopkins provides a new introduction contextualizing Watkin's approach. The final chapter on the twenty-first century has been completely rewritten by Hopkins, who brings the story right up to date with the inclusion of such topics as re-use, digital cities and virtual architecture.
