Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Need a handbook to your architect's business or studies? Struggling with your latest DIY project? Interested in the art of architecture? This classic work, now in its fifth edition, covers every aspect of architecture and landscape architecture. Ranging from ancient times to contemporary trends, it adopts a truly international perspective, focussing on countries and cultures such as Coptic , Tibet and De Stijl .
Without doubt, this is the standard work in the field. As reflected by its new title, 'The Penguin Dictionary of Architecture and Landscape Architecture' has now been expanded to include recent developments in the field of landscape architecture. Full account has been taken, too, of the huge range of building traditions around the world. The text has been completely reset and all the illustrations redrawn.
'Immensely useful, succinct and judicious...this is a book rich in fact and accumulated wisdom.' The Times Literary Supplement
Author notes provided by Syndetics
John Fleming was born in Berwick-upon-Tweed, England on June 12, 1919. He read English at Trinity College, Cambridge. During World War II, he served with the Intelligence Corps and wrote articles for Architectural Review in his spare time. After the war, he qualified as a solicitor and served with the John Hilton bureau at Cambridge. The death of his parents enabled Fleming to follow his own inclinations by going to Italy to try his luck as a freelance writer.In the mid-1950's, he started writing and editing with Hugh Honour. For Penguin Books, they edited the series Style and Civilization. They also edited two more series for Penguin: Architect and Society and Art in Context. Together they wrote The Visual Arts: A History, The Penguin Dictionary of Decorative Arts, and The Penguin Dictionary of Architecture with Nikolaus Pevsner. Fleming won two prizes in 1962 for Robert Adam and His Circle in Edinburgh and Rome. He died on May 29, 2001 at the age of 81.
