Awards/获奖情况：This is an easy read, which I didn’t expect from a book on architecture, with lots of good pictures. It’s less a rigid history, though, than a romp through the best stories: for example, the fierce ’Battle of the Styles’ that raged over the Gothic/Classical styles in Victorian Britain. This is an approachable introduction for anyone who enjoys wandering round the streets of London, New York or Paris, and who’s also interested in architecture’s origins.
