There is no fluff here, nothing extra. It's just a great overview of some great buildings, architectural styles and materials. The photographs are beautiful and the writing crisp and clear. I recommend this book for anyone who wants an introduction to architecture and some insights in the buildings around us or that predate us.' Goodreads reviewer'I am an architect and most certainly enjoyed this book. () [T]he chapters Elements and Materials are a nice take on architectural history and will offer valuable information for non professionals! I see this book as an encyclopaedia to get basic information on various topics. But the very short chapters are really just a starting point. The images are very helpful throughout and the layout is clean and helps the reader navigate the book. You are looking for a Short Story of Architecture? That is exactly what you get, in the best possible way.' Goodreads reviewerOther books in 'The Short Story of' series include The Short Story of Art, The Short Story of Photography, The Short Story of Film and The Short Story of Modern Art.
