Riassunto:

This book enables the reader to determine styles and identify architectural terms by comparing real buildings with the book's many photographs.

Product Description: This guide enables the reader to identify various styles and architectural terms by comparing real buildings with the book's photographs. Intended primarily for tourists and travellers, it covers a wide variety of styles including Spanish, colonial, prairie, Georgian and international. The book also explores details such as rooves, porches, windows and chimneys. In order to provide the reader with a compact handbook, the text is kept to a minimum and only the exteriors of buildings are discussed. The emphasis throughout is on domestic architecture rather than museums, monuments or commercial and public buildings.
