More than 350 color photographs celebrate the finest buildings from over two thousand years of civilization: Hagia Sophia, the Gothic cathedrals of Europe, Islamic masterworks at Isfahan, the Taj Mahal, the Palace of Westminster, Gehry’s iconic Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, and much more. There are some eighty buildings featured, more than forty of which receive in-depth attention in detailed photo essays. Pryce’s accompanying texts and commentaries provide an extra dimension of understanding for the contexts in which they were created, and of the evolution of architecture through history. 357 full-color photographs Review: A fine coffee table book - This book is about as good as they get when it comes to coffee table books. The color photography is excellent and a rather comprehensive collection of buildings, primarily related to the Western tradition of architecture, are included. The text is not overly memorable, but, then, the purpose of this book is not to educate, but to illuminate and it does that quite splendidly. Review: World Architecture Photography - Will Pryce's unique combination of passions as an architect and a photographer come together to create a stunning collection of photographs. Will's choice of lighting conditions shows that he is acutely aware of their ability to bring about the best of the building being photographed. As a photographer, I found this book at the highest standard of excellence. The set of buildings photographed has no omission that I can think of and their accompanying history well researched. I cannot even single out one of the memorable images in this book as I feel it'll be unjust towards the others. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #164,675 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #108 in Architectural History | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 176 Reviews | ## Images ![World Architecture: The Masterworks - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81MOztOD7NL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fine coffee table book *by D***T on December 26, 2018* This book is about as good as they get when it comes to coffee table books.
