Illustrated dictionary of architecture

by Ernest E. Burden

"The Illustrated Dictionary of Architecture is focused almost entirely on design. This unique resource contains nearly 4000 design-related definitions and more than 3000 illustrations - far more than any other dictionary." "The Illustrated Dictionary of Architecture covers everything of critical importance to those in the architect/design field: architectural styles, forms, details, building systems, and building elements.". "And added to this edition are more than 300 architect biographies with classic examples of their work." "Meticulously written, heavily cross-referenced, and unique in the fact that it is a dictionary that can truly be called a visual resource, the Illustrated Dictionary of Architecture is the best way for any designer to gain a full understanding of architectural elements."--BOOK JACKET.
