For over sixty years Sir Nikolaus Pevsner’s study of European architecture has been regarded as a seminal work which has inspired countless students of architecture. In this updated larger format edition with elegant and accessible design, an extra dimension is provided through the integration of over 200 superb colour photographs.
Pevsner reviewed the most beautiful, dramatic and outstanding structures that represent the styles and cultures of Europe from the fourth century onwards. His grand tour of Europe’s Romanesque basilicas, Gothic cathedrals, Renaissance villas and Baroque churches, sublimely defines ‘the changing spirits of the changing ages’.
In later chapters, he considers the revival of medieval forms in the age of Romanticism and the Arts and Crafts Movement through to the radical and unsparing geometry of twentieth-century Modernism. He concluded his survey in the post-war years and the start of the redefinition of so many devastated cityscapes.
In a new preface and an illuminating postscript, the architect Michael Forsyth continues where Pevsner left off by bringing the review to the present day. In a consideration of recent buildings in Europe by modern masters such as James Stirling, Norman Foster and Frank Gehry, he identifies a natural evolution of architectural achievement.
An Outline of European Architecture continues to be as stimulating and relevant as ever. Through his perceptive understanding of the heritage of past civilisations, and in the delineation of the buildings that continue to be recognized as the greatest symbols of artistic endeavour, Pevsner remains the essential guide and companion.
Sir Nikolaus Pevsner (1902–1983) is considered by many to have been the most influential writer on the history of architecture in the twentieth century.
Michael Forsyth is an architect and Director of Studies at the University of Bath.
With this introduction to the work of Andrea Palladio (1508–1580), TASCHEN’s Basic Architecture series shines its spotlight on one of the most influential figures in the history of Western architecture. Palladio’s “Villa Rotonda” in Vicenza became the most famous building of its kind; it influenced many later designs and remains an important source of inspiration for today’s architects. The Palladian style, distinguished by the typical Serlian windows, pillared façades resembling Roman temples, symmetrical floor plans, and elevations, was imported to other European countries and became widely known; in Great Britain it was one the important roots of 17th and 18th century architecture. In the 19th century, American architecture heavily referred to the style, as seen in, for example, Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello home.

Andrea Palladio (1508 - 1580) is considered one of the greatest architects of all time. For centuries it was used all over the world as a source of inspiration.
Palladio's oeuvre is acknowledged in this lavish volume, with its villas, public buildings, town planning and architectural visions. Many never-built projects such as the Rialto Bridge in Venice fünfbogige are presented.
The book includes numerous drawings, plans and sketches that explain the genius of this eminent architect.
With many large-format color photographs and texts all in German, English, French and Dutch.
A previously unknown portrait of the Italian architect in the role of illustrator and theorist on the militia. Published here for the first time are Palladio's preparatory materials for an illustrated edition of Polybius' Histories alongside Palladio's material for his edition of Julius Caesar' Commentaries, (1575). Long thought to have been lost, his original Polybius has now been recomposed by drawing on three manuscript copies: the mock-up used by Palladio to plan the edition, rediscovered in the London British Library in 1977; a second copy found in Florence in 1986 and a third exemplar only very recently found in the New York Public Library. Here the reproductions of the 43 etchings for the Polybius have been accompanied by 42 etchings which Palladio dedicated to Caesar's deeds. This offers us a complete picture of his effort to reconstruct those excellent features of ancient warfare on which Palladio wished to base his own proposals for reforming the contemporary Venetian militia, as well as to give a different point of view on the history of architecture. The volume includes contributions from several scholars including: Stephen Parkin, Sara Mazzarino, Marco Formisano, Luciano Pezzolo, Claudio Povolo, and Paolo Fiore.

Architecture & Arts documents the innovations brought about by painters, sculptors, designers, writers, photographers, and filmmakers, as well as creators from the widest variety of artistic circles and expressive styles, into the field of architecture. At the same time, it reveals the digressions of architects into the visual arts, a discipline that has shared with architecture a common project of a radical, at times visionary, aesthetic transformation of reality. The volume includes works by Malevich, Cartier-Bresson, Steichen, Terragni, Depero, Fritz Lang, Le Corbusier, Gehry, Rossi, Piano, and Oldenburg, to name a few. This richly illustrated volume offers a complete overview of architects and artists from the historic avant-gardes (Futurism, Suprematism, Constructivism, Dadaism, Neoplasticism, Expressionism, Surrealism, and the modern movements until the postwar period) to the contemporary world, starting from Informal-Spatialist work and continuing with Situationism, Brutalism, Pop Art, Minimalism, and Post modernism to the present day.
Collection of constructions, both civil and sacred buildings, ranges from pre-Christian basilicas to buildings dating from the early 19th century, and includes such gems as the cathedrals of St. Peter and Chartres, the Paris Opera House, and the Taj Mahal. Fully illustrated.
L'art de la Russie Ancienne s'épanouit durant plus de 700 ans, du Xème au XVIIème siècle. Profondément marquée par l'empreinte religieuse, son évolution est étroitement liée au christianisme et aux finalités du culte orthodoxe. Très vite, les bâtisseurs russes manifestent un authentique génie créateur, marqué par l'élégance et l'harmonie des proportions. Il ne faut pas attendre longtemps pour voir surgir les principaux chefs-d'œuvre de l'époque kiévienne (Xe-XIIIe siècles), à commencer par les cathédrales Sainte-Sophie de Kiev et de Novgorod, puis la Dormition de Vladimir.
Au XIIIe siècle, l'irruption des Mongols oblige les Russes à se replier sur eux-mêmes. La renaissance artistique s'amorce au XVe siècle, sous l'égide du prince de Moscou qui impose son autorité à l'ensemble du pays et fait de sa ville une métropole aussi bien politique qu'artistique et culturelle. Le XVIIe siècle est marqué par un essor remarquable de l'architecture civile, dont témoignent encore de nombreux palais et demeures princières. Le règne de Pierre le Grand signe la rupture avec l'art traditionnel : le tsar impose les modèles occidentaux et enracine définitivement la Russie dans l'histoire architecturale du reste de l'Europe.
La présente étude se propose de recenser les caractéristiques nationales de l'architecture de la Russie ancienne et de présenter les chefs-d'œuvre de tous ordres produits jusqu'à la fin du XVIIe siècle. L'iconographie, somptueuse et entièrement inédite, témoigne avec éloquence de la maîtrise et des dons artistiques des Russes. Une attention particulière est apportée aux bâtiments de bois, dont il subsiste de nombreux exemples dans les régions du Nord.
