1001 Buildings You Must See Before You Die: The World's Architectural Masterpieces (Quintessence Books) by Mark Irving

I wanted to be an architect when i was young (embarrassingly, it was all Mike Brady's influence...) And i wasn't quite as impressed with this book as i have been with the other 1001 must see before you die books. Admitedly buildings are really something you must see in real 3d life, but so are paintings and gardens and both of those books better represented their subjects. Pictures are mostly small and seemed rather scant. And of course it is all subjective.

1001 byggnader du måste se innan du dör by Mark Irving

1001 byggnader du måste se innan du dör (engelska: 1001 Buildings You Must See Before You Die) är en bok som utgavs första gången 2007. Byggnaderna presenteras i kronologisk ordning och artiklarna är ofta illustrerade. Den engelska originalupplagan under redaktion av Mark Irving har bidrag från flera erfarna arkitekturskribenter. Det svenska urvalet har gjorts av Fredric Bedoire, professor i arkitekturhistoria.

Boken guidar läsaren genom världshistoriens arkitektur, från de första show more pyramiderna fram till samtida moderna byggnader. Här återfinns alltifrån välbekanta byggnadsmonument till mer okända byggnader världen över, med exempel som Cheopspyramiden, Parthenon, Colosseum, Hagia Sofia, Notre-Dame de Paris, Lutande tornet i Pisa, Peterskyrkan, Taj Mahal, Skoklosters slott, Sommarpalatset i Peterhof, Kina slott, Versailles, Stockholms stadshus och Kubiska husen. show less
