De westerse architectuur een geschiedenis by David Watkin
"De Westerse architectuur" is zoals de ondertitel aangeeft een geschiedenis van de Westerse architectuur. Ik heb de eerste 3 hoofdstukken gelezen. Ik vind er weinig samenhang in te ontdekken, het is meer een opsomming van alle gebouwen die van belang zijn. Wel zijn de illustraties de moeite waard, vandaar toch 3 sterren. Ik ben gestopt met lezen op blz 115 van 684 blz.
