Summary:

"The city of Rome is constructed of numerous historical layers and has been influenced by successions of styles, from antiquity to today. What characterizes buildings from the different periods? With text by professor in art history Maria Fabricius Hansen and illustrations by graphic novelist maker Lars Horneman, Rome: An Architectural History describes key aspects of the city's historic buildings. The book introduces Rome's architecture and urban space while also giving an overview of European architectural history as a whole, as reflected in Rome's millennia of architectural change. The drawings illustrate the text but also serve as an independent series of narrative images. The books combination of text and illustrations make it a living history of the upheavals that have altered Rome's cityscape through the ages. A historical timeline places the buildings in their wider context. The book can be read at home but is also equipped with maps that guide the reader on walks around Rome."-- Publisher's website.
