A Chronology of Architecture features the Walt Disney Concert Hall and is a groundbreaking survey that examines-together- engineering and architectural accomplishments. Sites are arranged within a timeline that examines them in terms of historic events and trends, social change, economic developments, and technological innovations-factors that all helped shape architecture and engineering design solutions over millennia. The text is organized into seven chapters that chronicle these achievements and each chapter includes snappy “In Focus” sections that target observations and technological developments related to particular sites and people.
A Chronology of Architecture is an invaluable and comprehensive overview of architecture’s history. This will be a wonderful resource for architecture lovers and for those who want to better understand the world around them.
