The success of the "History of Architecture" by Auguste Choisy (1841-1909), a French railway engineer and former adjunct professor at the École Polytechnique, was due to several reasons. Firstly, the breadth of the author's plan: the books presents the stages of development of architecture of the prehistoric era, the states of the Ancient East, Antiquity, including India, China, Japan, European countries in the Middle Ages, the new and modern times. Secondly, the scientific integrity of the researcher, who scrupulously described the buildings, their individual parts, materials and ways of their use, construction techniques and on the basis of direct years of personal experience made bold assumptions, giving the ground for reflection on his architectural hypotheses to other scholars following him. Finally, Choisy's work is a professional's view of the history of the formation and development of human society through the prism of the interpenetration of various architectural techniques and forms. This complete edition includes both volumes of O. Choisy's History of Architecture. Clear and easy language, author's drawings and under-drawing comments make the book understandable and interesting for the modern reader.
