Reviews
This is the best survey/textbook level treatment of any subject that I have ever seen. Curtis strikes a great balance between writing a good general survey and having a strong point of view. It makes me hope for a new edition just to have the author’s take on more recent developments. The truly global coverage, the choice of illustrations, the connections drawn across works and eras, it’s just ridiculously good and far better than anything else available. Curtis has more than encyclopedic knowledge; he “gets” architecture. He doesn’t seem able to write anything pedestrian or uninteresting. Buy this if you’re interested at all in architecture or buy it for someone who is.
