From the Egyptians to the not-too-distant past, public buildings of note, palaces, churches, abbeys and seats of government among them, were built to last for all time. Workmen had few machines, pre-cast concrete and stick-on cornices were unknown. They weren't labourers, they were craftsmen, master masons, artists with tools and stone, sculptors and architects of vision. And these buildings were the result.
This is as beautiful a book as its companion book on Gothic architecture, and just as illuminating and entertaining to own. Its very much the sort of coffee-table book you could give to someone you want to impress, but one look at it and you would want to keep it for yourself. ( )
