God og informativ. Skraper på overflaten, noe som og er poenget.

Eh 🤷🏻‍♀️ maybe just not for me ? It wasn’t written poorly or anything, I just couldn’t stay focused. Read about 65% of it, then gave up.

Actually quite great at explaining a lot of things as once. Shame you won't remember any by the time you're finished with it.

This book offers an overview of architecture, from Stonehenge to the Burj Khalifa. Each example offers concise information about the building or time period. It's a lot of information to take in - certainly helped me recognize more details in architecture and inspired me to learn more.
