Understanding Architecture: Its Elements, History, and Meaning

Review\n"Superbly illustrated throughout. . . It remains the only text to discuss architecture as a cultural phenomenon, making this a top recommendation. . . . Understanding Architecture is the ideal textbook for classroom curriculums and a very strongly recommended addition to both community and academic Architectural Studies reference collections." 
--The Midwest Book Review 
Praise for Previous Editions: 
"I enthusiastically recommend this 2nd edition, which includes a comprehensive new chapter on such contemporary architectural trends as postmodern traditionalism, neoexpressionism, deconstruction, critical regionalism, and sustainable architecture. Understanding Architecture is a versatile main text that works well for both general humanities courses and more advanced classes in architectural history."

This survey of western architecture is divided into two parts. The first deals with the basic properties of architecture, examining a building's structure, aesthetic appeal and place in the environment. The second is a chronological survey of western architectural development against a social, cultural and economic background, from prehistoric times to the present.

Understanding Architecture: Its Elements, History and Meaning

A C Black Publishers Ltd

Esta introducción clásica a la arquitectura está planteada a partir de dos enfoques claramente diferenciados y complementarios entre sí: uno temático, que aborda los elementos de la arquitectura, y otro de recorrido histórico, que ahonda en la historia y el significado de la arquitectura. La primera parte, dividida en ocho capítulos, afronta los conceptos básicos de la arquitectura, a los que Roth denomina elementos. La segunda parte se centra de manera didáctica y sistemática en la historia y el significado de la arquitectura. Roth recorre a lo largo de trece capítulos la historia de la arquitectura y el urbanismo. El prólogo de la edición española es de Josep María Montaner.
