註釋This book is based on the authors very successful Architecture for Children. The original book has been completely revised and new illustrations have been specially drawn. Architecture and the Environment gives a comprehensive account of the role of architecture in the environment of a constantly developing world. It traces the history of building from its most primitive origins to the complex architecture of the present day. The book takes as a starting point ideas that will be familiar to all its readers, then leads them on to an examination of the attitudes and approaches of architects and planners, so that they can follow the creative process step by step. The style of the book is direct and very readable, with a minimum, of technical language. The authors are known internationally as architects, teachers and writers.
