Summary:
'Monumental' brings together places of worship and temples, castles and palaces, walls and towers from more than 10,000 years of architectural history. The book is organized chronologically: for example, who would have thought that at the same time that the Romans were discussing politics in the Roman Forum, life was thriving in the Mexican city of Teotihuacán? Or that the Great Mosque of Djenné and St Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin were both built at the end of the 12th century? And that in the 21st century, especially in China, opera houses are popping up like mushrooms?
"'Monumentaal' brengt gebedshuizen en tempels, kastelen en paleizen, muren en torens samen uit meer dan 10.000 jaar architectuurgeschiedenis. Het boek is chronologisch opgezet: wie had bijvoorbeeld gedacht dat op hetzelfde moment dat de Romeinen de politiek bespraken op het Forum Romanum, het leven bloeide in de Mexicaanse stad Teotihuacán? Of dat de Grote Moskee van Djenné en de St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin beide aan het einde van de 12de eeuw werden gebouwd? En dat in de 21ste eeuw, vooral in China, operahuizen als paddenstoelen uit de grond schieten?"--Provided by vendor.
