Pyramides, temples, tombeaux, chapelles, cités grandioses, palais, forteresses, toutes ces constructions participent d'un même esprit qui leur confère un caractère unique. Cet ouvrage propose une synthèse claire et accessible de l'architecture pharaonique. L'auteur s'appuye sur des données historiques et archéologiques afin de nous révéler la signification spirituelle de cette architecture aussi bien que les techniques de construction et les mystères qui demeurent. Il nous permet de comprendre pourquoi et surtout comment l'art égyptien, qui n'a cessé de fleurir et de renaître pendant trois mille ans, a produit certains des plus grands chefs-d'œuvre de l'humanité. Les sites de Guizeh, Saqqarah, Karnak, Louxor, la Vallée des Rois, Abou Simbel, Edfou, Dendéra, Philae se livrent à nous par l'image et le texte pour notre plus grand plaisir.

Summary:
Children are rarely introduced properly to architecture, but there are in fact few subjects more important—because the quality of the architecture that surrounds us has such an impact on our mood and sense of well-being. The bitter truth is that in modern times we’ve built a world that’s far too often ugly or charmless—and we’ve done so because very few people ever feel(...)

Summary:
Children are rarely introduced properly to architecture, but there are in fact few subjects more important—because the quality of the architecture that surrounds us has such an impact on our mood and sense of well-being. The bitter truth is that in modern times we’ve built a world that’s far too often ugly or charmless—and we’ve done so because very few people ever feel they have the right to comment on what gets built around them. This is a chance for the next generation to develop the tools to talk about architecture with confidence, knowledge, and passion. It tells us about what a satisfying building is, what makes a street enticing (or not), why some cities are charming and others repel us—and how we might build going forward in a way that will reliably delight and uplift us. This engaging guide is designed to help children (and their favorite adults) to understand how buildings work and how we might create the better looking world we all crave and deserve.
