The Penguin Dictionary of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (Penguin Reference Books.) by Niko
The Penguin Dictionary of Architecture and Landscape Architecture constitutes a complete revision and expansion--with the addition of the increasingly popular subject of landscape architecture--of a work that has long been recognized as the standard in its field.
Entirely reset and new illustrations, this edition includes many new entries on American architects and architecture. Highly readable, thoroughly cross-referenced, and with bibliographies for further reading, this is an essential reference for architects, students of architecture, and general readers with an interest in the field.
About the Author Hugh Honour was educated at St. Catherine's College, Cambridge. His previous books include Neo-Classicism and Romanticism.
John Fleming was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge and wrote the prize-winning Robert Adam and His Circle, in addition to collaborating with Honour on the Dictionary of Decorative Arts and A World History of Art.
The late sir Nikolaus Pevsner was Professor of History of Art at the University of London. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
