Résumé:
New York City is home to more skyscrapers than any other city in the world. Iconic in stature, they tell the story of the city’s commercial and architectural history. The buildings pictured here stretch from the sidewalks to the sky, from the East River to the Hudson, from Battery Park to the far reaches of Central Park. Along with structures that are familiar to readers such as the Empire State Building, the Chrysler and Woolworth buildings, there are other less recognizable but nonetheless important structures that have become a part of New Yorkers’ daily lives. Each chapter focuses on an area of Manhattan, and opens with numbered maps showing the exact locations of the featured buildings. In a series of two to four page spreads, fullpage photographs of the skyscrapers are accompanied by additional illustrations, historical insights, architectural details, and interesting facts about their construction and evolution. An essay on the collective history of the city’s skyscrapers rounds out this compilation.

Résumé:
This is the first in a new series of five books describing and illustrating the seminal architectural traditions of the world. "Antiquity" traces architectural history from its very beginnings until the time when the traditions that shape today's environments began to flourish. Highly illustrated, with 1,200 colour photographs and 400 drawings, the book is divided into ten sections progressing through time: West Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean, Pre-Columbian America, Hellenic Hellenes Divided; Macedonians Ascendant Etruscans and Hellenistic Romans, Imperial Rome Christianity, and Empire Rome, and New Rome; The West: Imperial Revival and the Latin Cross; and The East: Imperial Survival and the Greek Cross. More than a catalogue of buildings, in this work Tadgell provides their political, technological, social and cultural contexts and explores architecture, not only as the development of form and space but as an expression of the civilization within which it evolves. The buildings are analyzed and illustrated with photographs and drawings while the societies that produced them are brought to life through a broad selection of their artefacts

Christopher Tadgell covers the major architectural traditions of the Middle Ages, from the Romanesque architecture of the 9th and 10th centuries, built on the legacy of ancient Rome and including elements from Carolingian, Ottonian, Byzantine and northern European traditions, through to the evolution of the Gothic which heralded new, structurally daring architecture.

L'étude originale et scientifique de Pédro Navascuès Palacio, professeur à l'Ecole Supérieure d'Architecture de Madrid et membre de la Real Academia de Bellas Artes, nous donne à découvrir le paysage monastique espagnol et ses plus belles pages architecturales. l'esthétique et à la chronologie, l'auteur a préféré une approche historique par ordres religieux, qui met en valeur les spécificités de chaque ordre : Bénédictins, Franciscains, Cisterciens, Dominicains, Hiéronymites, Prémontrés, Chartreux, chacun donna lieu à l'édification de monastères parcourus ici par l'oeil du photographe Domi Mora. Ces vingt monographies mettent également en valeur la diversité des paysages espagnols : immensité de la montagne qui domine San Juan de la Peña, vignobles qui enserrent Santa Maria de Poblet, aridité des collines de Santa Maria de El Parral ou champs d'oliviers qui entourent le village où trône Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe.
