Summary: From the back of the book - "In about 40 BCE the Roman architect and engineer Vitruvius declared Firmatis, Utilitas, et Venustas -Firmness, commodity and delight - to be the three essential attributions of architecture. These qualities are brilliantly explored in this book, which uniquely comprises both a detailed survey of Western architecture, including Pre-Columbian America, and an introduction to architecture from the Middle East, India, Russia,China, and Japan."
