“A brilliant collaboration . . . The hundreds of color photographs are stunning in their clarity and composition. Highly recommended.”—Library Journal This totally original architecture book—named 2004 Choice Outstanding Academic Title—follows the story of brick from 5000 BC to its use in building today, from the vast baths and basilicas of ancient Rome, through the wonders of Gothic brick in Germany and the majestic temples of Pagan, to its modern revival. Marvelously illustrated with spectacular, specially taken photographs, Brick is at once an historical account of how bricks have been employed by architects of every period, a technical survey of brickmaking and bricklaying, and an essay on architectural and cultural history. The authors have applied their expert visual and technical knowledge to more than one hundred themes, from bricks in ancient Egypt to their distinctive use by such modern masters as Louis Kahn, Alvar Aalto, and Renzo Piano. Great works of engineering—viaducts, tunnels, and bridges—are given prominence alongside great cathedrals, country houses, temples, and mosques, testifying to the incredible versatility and importance of bricks and brickwork.

Über fünf Jahre forschten und reisten Autor und Fotograf dieses Bandes, um über 70 der schönsten und beeindruckendsten Bibliotheken weltweit zu porträtieren. In sieben Kapiteln führen sie den staunenden Betrachter chronologisch durch die Epochen und zu Bauten, die Menschen aller Zeiten und Kulturen für ihre wertvollen Bücherschätze erdachten. Der prächtige Band erzählt von unterschiedlichen architektonischen Konzepten ebenso wie von der aufwendigen Ausstattung der Bibliotheksräume. Dieses umfassendste und profundeste der zahlreichen Bücher zum Thema ist weit mehr als eine Baugeschichte: Reich illustriert und höchst informativ ist hier eine Kulturgeschichte der Bibliothek entstanden.
