Description
From columns to pyramids, each of the carefully chosen 100 words has its own 100-word long description and colourful illustration, providing a fascinating introduction to amazing architecture from throughout history.
From the familiar to the jaw-dropping, the medieval to ultra-modern, this is an inspiring look at some of architecture's greatest developments.
With a clean, contemporary design, each word occupies a page of its own. A large striking illustration neatly encapsulates the accompanying 100 words of text.
