This is THE story of Western Architecture,
By
This review is from: Architecture: From Prehistory to Postmodernity, Reprint (2nd Edition) (Hardcover)
I am a Registered architect(with National Certification), Registered Interior Designer and instructor of Architectural History. Trachtenberg and Hyman have written the definitive history of western architecture in this tract. The reading is awkward at times, but the ideas conveyed comprise the foundation of todays architectural theory. There are few, if any textbooks on this subject which maintain a consistant thread of thought all the way through. This one does. If you are vitally interested in the underpinnings of today's designs, you should read it.

Isabelle Hyman was my professor for Renaissance Architecture at NYU. She was my favorite professor in four years there, and when I used this text for an overview class it solidified my opinion of her and her knowledge. An excellent textbook.

This review is from: Architecture: From Prehistory to Postmodernity, Reprint (2nd Edition) (Hardcover)
Book was in virtually new condition. I had one product sticker on back cover, which the description mentioned prior to buying. It didn't contain the plastic face cover, but I saved at least $30 on this book so that didn't bother me.
