Peter Allen Bücher

Eine wahrhaft inklusive Feier der Architektur weltweit und über die Jahrhunderte. Dieser Atlas architektonischer Wunder nimmt eine breitere Sichtweise darauf ein, was erstaunliche Architektur ausmacht. Zu den Gebäuden gehören: die Jameh-Moschee von Isfahan im Iran, die Plankenhäuser der Ureinwohner in New Mexico, die Stabkirchen in Norwegen, die Djinguereber-Moschee in Mali und außergewöhnliche Holzkirchen des 18. Jahrhunderts auf der Insel Kizhi in Russland. Über 50 Gebäude aus allen Kontinenten und Epochen werden vorgestellt. Jedes dieser Gebäude ist visuell beeindruckend und architektonisch bemerkenswert; sie führen neue Ingenieurtechnologien ein, definieren eine Bewegung oder fangen das Wesen eines Moments in der Menschheitsgeschichte ein. Trotz ihrer Bedeutung sind sie jedoch größtenteils nicht Teil des klassischen westlichen Architekturerbes. Dieses Buch sucht einen vielfältigeren, inklusiven Ansatz dafür, was erstaunliche Architektur ausmacht, und präsentiert ihn mit frischen Illustrationen und klaren, prägnanten Texten.

This atlas of architectural wonders eschews the classic children's book fare of the Pyramids and the Taj Mahal, and instead takes a broader view of what constitutes amazing architecture. Buildings include: the Jameh mosque of Isfahan? in Iran, Native American plank houses in New Mexico, Stave Churches in Norway, The Djinguereber mosque in Mali, and extraordinary 18th century wooden churches on Kizhi Island, Russia. Over 50 buildings span all the continents equally throughout history. Each of these buildings is visually striking and architecturally noteworthy; they introduce new engineering technologies or define a movement or capture the essence of a moment in human history. They epitomise the ambition and vison of an architect or a patron. But although most of them have been recognized by UNESCO or other agencies, they are not part of the main Western architectural canon. This book seeks out a more diverse, inclusive approach to what constitutes amazing architecture, and presents it with fresh illustration and clear, punchy text.
