This revised edition contains new material on Ancient Greece an Egypt and the more recent years of Postmodernism and urbanism, the New Right ideology of the Eighties and the rising environmental concerns of the Nineties. The author's many hundreds of lively and informative drawings and diagrams provide an attractive, informal and approachable illustration of The Story of Western Architecture.
