Art styles not defined by date; History of architecture; Society & Social Sciences
Now in its fourth edition, this classic bestselling book has been

updated with brand new chapters and hand-drawn illustrations. Using a

highly accessible approach, the author takes history rather than

aesthetics as his starting point. Risebero unfolds and explains the

development of architecture in the Western world by examining the

subject as an expression of social and economic conditions.

The Story of Western Architecture

explores not only the buildings constructed, but also how they were

built, by whom and for what purpose. This informative book, brought to

life through the author's expressive line drawings, is an essential guide

to how buildings have evolved through time for keen amateurs and experts

alike.
