A handbook for decoding a building’s style, history, and evolution. Organized by architectural element (roofs, doors, windows, columns, domes, towers, arches, etc.), this guide book is roughly chronological within each section, examining the elements across history, through different architectural styles, and by geographical distribution. Additional chapters offer overviews of how architecture has been affected by geography, history, and religion, along with an illustrated timeline of architectural elements and exterior ornamentation.
