Book Synopsis



Sei es Michael Graves Bestseller-Produktdesign für Target oder Sir Norman Fosters Renovierung des Berliner Reichstagsgebäudes: Architektur ist nach wie vor ein Thema, das im Zentrum des kulturellen Interesses steht und großen Neuigkeitswert genießt.

"Architecture For Dummies" Ein Crashkurs in Sachen Architektur - für Leser, die es eilig haben.

Hier finden Sie die wichtigsten Informationen zum Thema Architektur.

Ein Band aus der beliebten 'For Dummies-Reihe'.

Behandelt werden alle Höhepunkte der Architekturgeschichte - angefangen bei den Pyramiden von Ägypten bis hin zu Frank Gehrys Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.

Das Buch erklärt genau, wie man ein Gebäude betrachtet und bewertet, und wann man nicht mehr von einem Gebäude, sondern von einem Kunstwerk spricht.

Der Abschnitt "Part of Tens" behandelt u.a.: zehn große architektonische Meisterwerke, die zehn größten architektonischen und bautechnischen Misserfolge, zehn der interessantesten modernen Architekten und vieles andere mehr.

Autorin Deborah Dietsch ist eine renommierte Expertin auf diesem Gebiet. Sie war früher Chefredakteurin des 'Architecture' Magazins und leitende Redakteurin des 'Architectural Record'. Aus ihrer Feder stammt auch das kürzlich erschienene Buch 'Classic Modern'.
