Krátky popis
The Great Builders surveys the careers of forty great architects
whose engineering skills were crucial to their success. Sixteen
nationalities and seven centuries of architectural innovation make
for a survey of spectacular scope and depth: from churches and
fortresses to bridges and high-tech skyscrapers, it includes
masterpieces from all over the world and covers 700 years of
architectural history. Here is Brunelleschi, who built the
'unbuildable' dome of Florence Cathedral, Sinan, a Christian
engineer who became chief architect to the Ottoman court, Joseph
Paxton, scribbling down a design for the Crystal Palace, London, on
a piece of blotting paper, and James Bogardus, an early American
evangelist of the opportunities offered by cast-iron
architecture.Rapid advances in industrial production inspired
experiments with new materials and techniques, gradually allowing a
whole new architecture to emerge: reinforced concrete, plate glass
and steel were central to the creations of Le Corbusier, Auguste
Perret and Mies van der Rohe, for instance, and, in the High-Tech
architecture of the present day - represented by Norman Foster,
Frank Gehry and Santiago Calatrava, among others - computer-aided
design has seemingly tested the boundaries of the possible.
