Abstract

Ten years in the making, A History of Architecture ranges from the first prehistoric environments on record to the most recent examples of architectural and urban design. A landmark work of impressive scope, the book is enhanced by 800 halftone iliustra tions and 150 drawings especially prepared by architect Richard Tobias. Spiro Kostof has written the book in the conviction that "everything built is worth studying." His range of study thus includes not only the religious, governmental, and upper-class monuments around which archi- tectural history has usually been written but also the diversity of ordinary domestic, rural, and urban buildings and landscapes that surround them. Moreover, he evaluates Western achievement in the context of con- temporary cultures elsewhere. Thus he discusses the high points of imperial Rome along with Buddhist stupas and Han palaces, compares medieval Florence with medieval Cairo, and introduces Inca and Aztec cities as the Spanish conquistadores would have seen them. The author's premise is that buildings are conditioned by the social, economic, and political frame of their time; in this sense, Kostof concludes, the history of architecture can be considered an aspect of the history of human institutions. "Architecture, in the end," he writes, "is nothing less than the gift of making places for some human purpose."
