Architectural Wonders of the World

A History of Architectural Styles Told through the Worldâ€s Greatest Buildings We live and work among all kinds of different buildings, from low-rise to high-rise, from old to new, but how well do we understand the architecture around us? Could we guess when a building was built? What its architectural style is? And how that style emerged and influenced later styles? From the ancient Egyptian Luxor Temple to Mayan pyramids in Mexico, from Beijingâ€s Forbidden City to New Yorkâ€s Chrysler Building to Spainâ€s Guggenheim Museum, Architectural Wonders of the World explores, through iconic buildings, major architectural styles from all around the globe. Featuring cathedrals and chapels, temples and mosques, palaces and offices, museums and houses, towers and town halls, Architectural Wonders of the World is an accessible history of the development of architectural styles from the ancient world to the present day.
