At last available in English, this classic text was originally published in Germany in 1951 and has been continuously in print since then. Gunter Bandmann analyzes the architecture of societies in western Europe up to the twelfth century that aspired to be the heirs to the Roman empire. He examines the occurrence and recurrence of basic forms not as stylistic evolutions but as meaningful expressions of meta-material content and develops an architectural iconography of symbolic, historical, and aesthetic elements.

Examining the revolution in photography that took place across Europe between 1918 and 1945, this survey orients its examination around three cities, each of which served as a nexus for major developments in the medium: Prague, Paris and Barcelona. Until the First World War, photography had largely followed the aesthetics of painting.
