Containing over 6,000 entries from
Aalto to
ziggurat, this is the most comprehensive and up-to-date dictionary of architecture available. Beautifully illustrated and written in a clear and concise style, it covers all periods of Western architectural history, from ancient times to the present day. It also includes concise biographies of leading architects, from Brunelleschi and Imhotep to Le Corbusier and Richard Rogers. The text is complimented by over 250 beautiful and meticulous line drawings, labelled cross-sections and diagrams. These include precise drawings of typical building features, making it easy for readers to identify particular period styles.
The first edition of the
Dictionary of Architecture received excellent reviews. Now it has been fully revised, and expanded, bringing it completely up-to-date. New entries include definitions of landscape terms, and biographies of modern architects. Each entry is followed by a mini-bibliography, with suggestions for further reading. It also contains over 50 new illustrations.
This is an essential work of reference for anyone with an interest in architecture. With clear descriptions providing in-depth analysis, it is invaluable for students and professional architects, and provides a fascinating wealth of information for the general reader.
网友对A Dictionary of Architecture and Landscape Architecture的评论
oxford权威字典，几乎涵盖了所有专业建筑词汇，西方建筑字典不二选择，也有一些中国的东西如fengshui什么的，对于在看建筑史或者有机会去欧洲考察的同学非常合适，关键是非常轻便。。个人认为如果有更多说明的配图就更好了
This is an exceptional reference tool to acquaint any person who is interested in the precise use of architectural terminology. Every architect should have this as part of their library.
The completeness of the entries as well as the variety of drawings for entries---every variation on a capital, or on a roof line, or on window shape--makes this a perfect source book to learn from. The small paperback pocket size makes it handy to carry around when you are touring as well.
A great resource to find and learn your architectural specific definitions. Don't just search the web and use the first definition your search engine provides. Use this and find the right answer.
As a Real Estate Developer this book is a must have for me. It is also great to have for those who work in my office.
good
