God og informativ. Skraper på overflaten, noe som og er poenget.

Eh 🤷🏻‍♀️ maybe just not for me ? It wasn’t written poorly or anything, I just couldn’t stay focused. Read about 65% of it, then gave up.

This book offers an overview of architecture, from Stonehenge to the Burj Khalifa. Each example offers concise information about the building or time period. It's a lot of information to take in - certainly helped me recognize more details in architecture and inspired me to learn more.
