WORLD ARCHITECTURE
A specially photographed survey of the most important architectural achievements from the past 2000 years Reviews in architecture, art, and travel press / Holiday roundups / National print advertising / Co-op available / Author interviews / Author Web site: willpryce.com
This majestic survey of the greatest buildings from around the globe
includes both the acknowledged stars—the Pantheon, Hagia Sophia,
Gothic and Renaissance cathedrals, masterpieces of Islamic architecture
at Isfahan and Samarkand, the Guggenheim Museum in New York, and
the Sydney Opera House—and the unfamiliar and unexpected: the
Hindu temple of Prambanan in Java, the French pilgrimage church of
Sainte-Foy at Conques, and Santa Maria della Consolazione in Todi, Italy.
More than one hundred magnificent buildings are included, over
fifty of which are featured in highly detailed photo essays. Will Pryce’s
accompanying texts and commentaries provide an extra dimension of
understanding for the contexts in which they were created, and of the
evolution of architectural history.
Will Pryce is an award-winning photographer who originally trained
as an architect at Cambridge University and the Royal College of Art,
London. His most recent books are Big Shed, and,
with James W. P. Campbell, the widely acclaimed Brick: A World History.
