The 20th edition of Sir Banister Fletcher's A History of Architecture is the first major work of history to include an overview of the architectural achievements of the 20th Century. Banister Fletcher has been the standard one volume architectural history for over 100 years and continues to give a concise and factual account of world architecture from the earliest times.


In this twentieth and centenary edition, edited by Dan Cruickshank with three consultant editors and fourteen new contributors, chapters have been recast and expanded and a third of the text is new.
* There are new chapters on the twentieth-century architecture of the Middle East (including Israel), South-east Asia, Hong Kong, Japan and Korea, the Indian subcontinent, Russia and the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe and Latin America. * The chapter on traditional architecture of India has been rewritten and the section on traditional Chinese architecture has been expanded, both with new specially commissioned drawings
* The architecture of the Americas before 1900 has been enlarged to include, for the first time, detailed coverage of Latin America and the Caribbean
* The book's scope has been widened to include more architecture from outside Europe
* The bibliography has been expanded into a separate section and is a key source of information on every period of world architecture
* The coverage of the 20th century architecture of North America has been divided into two chapters to allow fuller coverage of contemporary works
* 20th century architecture of Western Europe has been radically recast
* For the first time the architecture of the twentieth century is considered as a whole and assessed in an historical perspective
* Coverage has been extended to include buildings completed during the last ten years
* The coverage of Islamic architecture has been increased and re-organised to form a self contained section

This unique reference book places buildings in their social, cultural and historical settings to describe the main patterns of architectural development, from Prehistoric to the International Style. Again in the words of Sir Banister Fletcher, this book shows that 'Architecture ... provides a key to the habits, thoughts and aspirations of the people, and without a knowledge of this art the history of any period lacks that human interest with which it should be invested.'

*Winner of the International Architecture Book Award, The American Institute of Architects Book of the Century.

*THE source book for the historical development of architecture.

Britain is home to an extraordinary array of impressive and historic buildings. They are outstanding architecturally and hold fascinating secrets within their walls.

Durham Cathedral has long been celebrated for the bold simplicity of its architecture and great beauty. But look closer, and its pioneering engineering becomes more apparent and the symbolism of its decoration more mysterious. Much speculation has been focused on the columns in the south transept -- especially on the odd one at the end. In the riddle of its stones, the cathedral gives us important clues to help understand the aspirations, beliefs, and struggles of the society that built it.

The Story of Britain's Best Buildings explores eight such edifices that characterize a nation. From the heroic to the idiosyncratic, this sweeping survey also looks at:

• Windsor Castle
• Holyroodhouse
• Blenheim Palace
• Tower Bridge
• Midland Grand Hotel at St. Pancras
• Highpoint One
• Cardiff Castle.

In this handsome book, illustrated with more than 120 color photographs, the author celebrates the architecture of great buildings and tells their stories which, together, form a gripping portrait of over a thousand years of British history.
