Bound bilingual specialist book by Heinz Studer on the development of architectural elements and architectural styles from Ancient Egypt to the end of the 20th century. Published by Schweizer Baudokumentation in Blauen. Green cover with architectural drawings.
Experiencing architecture means experiencing building history. Outstanding buildings are an essential part of our cultural creation. Step by step, the annual rings of the built world can be read. The work «Baustilkunde» covers the history of building from Ancient Egypt to the present day. A brief historical overview introduces each chapter. The various eras can be analysed using the drawings and visualised with the photographs. Swiss buildings are an essential part of this documentation. Teachers are thereby encouraged to teach the study of styles and architectural appreciation using local monuments and buildings. The synopsis at the end of «Baustilkunde» provides an overview of the various eras; it helps to better understand historical connections. With «Baustilkunde», we cross the threshold of the new millennium. Important buildings from the late 20th century pave the way into the 21st century. We look with anticipation at the developments that the new century will bring us.
