书籍简介

渴望的建筑师们将会在他们的元素中!为年轻的读者探索这个具有插图的建筑叙事历史，这本身就是一个令人惊奇的建筑。我们一生中的大部分时间都是在建筑物里度过的。我们在里面安家、在里面上学、在里面工作。但是人们是如何开始建造建筑的呢？他们是如何学会把它们变得更结实、更大、更舒适的呢？为什么他们开始用不同的方式装饰它们？从为了让埃及法老永垂不朽而竖立起来的金字塔，到由两位年轻建筑师设计的戏剧性的、像机器一样的蓬皮杜中心，Patrick Dillon讲述这些非凡的建筑——以及建造这些建筑的杰出人物——颂扬了人类创造的独创性。Stephen Biesty的插图非常详细，带我们走进历史上著名的建筑，展示这些奇妙的结构是如何结合在一起的。

Aspiring architects will be in their element! Explore this illustrated narrative history of buildings for young readers, an amazing construction in itself. We spend most of our lives in buildings. We make our homes in them. We go to school in them. We work in them. But why and how did people start making buildings? How did they learn to make them stronger, bigger, and more comfortable? Why did they start to decorate them in different ways? From the pyramid erected so that an Egyptian pharaoh would last forever to the dramatic, machine-like Pompidou Center designed by two young architects, Patrick Dillon's stories of remarkable buildings -- and the remarkable people who made them -- celebrates the ingenuity of human creation. Stephen Biesty's extraordinarily detailed illustrations take us inside famous buildings throughout history and demonstrate just how these marvelous structures fit together.
