Wilfried Koch's Great Encyclopedia of Architectural Styles is now in its 34th revised and updated edition. Since its first publication in 1982, it has become a comprehensive reference work for anyone interested in art history and an indispensable encyclopedia of architectural styles for both specialists and students of art history and architecture.
This book offers an unusually large volume of illustrations and other information on European architecture from antiquity to the present day: detailed, carefully structured texts for the sections "Religious Architecture," "Fortified Castles and Palaces," "Urban and Public Buildings," and "Urban Development" are vividly illustrated by approximately 2,800 architectural sketches. These sketches also include a number of revised or previously unpublished horizontal projections, as well as 50 site maps.
To complete the broad overview of European architectural styles over 3,000 years, the book concludes with an alphabetically arranged illustrated glossary of approximately 1,100 key words, detailed indexes of place names and personal names, and a five-language glossary.
