What You Might Expect--An IntroductionBy Charlotte LenoxWhile this guide doesnt offer much space to discuss such a broad topic; what is presented provides ideas for further reading. Little description is given for terms such as Baroque; Gothic; Rococo; Classicism; etc.; which is a shame; but this book does cover such "classic" works of architecture such as Falling Water; the Pantheon; the Parthenon; and others; and each is used to illustrate a point about architecture. The author spends quite a bit more time on what buildings mean; and how that meaning changes depending on the time period; culture; and individual perspective.Overall; I would recommend this book to someone looking for a very basic understanding of architecture; but if you are looking for something more detailed; Id suggest looking elsewhere.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. building a foundationBy troyesffigyIndeed a very short introduction but what it lacks in length it makes up for in concentrated doses of knowledge. As some who is completely unschooled in the architectural domain; I found this book very satisfying. Thanks to this book; I believe I will pursue other books on the subject. At the end of the book; there is a nice `further reading section with blurbs of other book related to buildings and architecture.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Very DisappointingBy CustomerI had high hopes for this book. While the author meant well; the book is very poorly written; and its message unclear. It seemed as though the author did not have a firm grasp of the subject. "A Very Short Introduction" was hardly an introduction at all. The book took major detours into advanced (advanced for me) subject matter that I wondered if the author himself understood. Im probably more confused now about architecture than I was before reading the book. I did not complete the book. I got half way through it and simply could not endure any more. Unfortunately for me; I did not heed some of the bad reviews for this book. I will not be so careless next time. Fortunately; there are far better books available.
