Do you know what famous architectural monuments were built out of brick and which ones out of stone? What are the advantages of reinforced concrete and why is glass used so often in the construction industry today? Have you ever heard of architectural terms like "central building" or "basilica"? ARCHISTORY will explain in simple terms basic architectural forms and building types whilst also introducing you to building materials using dozens of examples from both ancient history and modern times. Originally an illustrated book, Archistory's Polish author wrote it for her four children. The first edition earned the title of "Most Beautiful Book of the Year".
