520 1 "How have innovations in architecture and engineering come
about? Who tested new approaches and when were important
discoveries and experiments accepted? This book
illuminates the history and development of building, in
all its constructive, technical and cultural aspects, from
the Industrial Revolution to the present and into the
future. One hundred case scenarios articulate how new
ideas, their context and ideology, became integral parts
of the build environment. It also discusses which
technical and creative mediums the pioneers and
protagonists of the various trends and schools of thought
used to articulate their ideas. The insightful texts and
numerous images make this volume an essential handbook of
architectural and structural history for students and
professionals."--Jacket.
