The A to Z of Architecture provides information on architects like
Frank Lloyd Wright, Tadao Ando, Leon Battista Alberti, Filippo
Brunelleschi, Michelangelo, and Konstantin Stepanovich Melnikov, as well
as on famous structures like the Acropolis, the Colosseum, the Forbidden
City, Machu Pichu, Notre Dame, the Pyramids of Giza, Stonehenge, and the
World Trade Center. The dictionary examines the development of
architecture over the centuries through a chronology, an introductory
essay, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary
entries on the major architects, well-known buildings, time periods,
styles, building types, and materials in world architecture.
