What's So Great About the Eiffel Tower?: 70 Q... Jonathan Glancey
Why do we find the idea of a multi-coloured Parthenon so shocking today? Is the Sagrada Família a work of genius or kitsch? Why was the Eiffel Tower such a target for hatred when it was first built?
This book examines the critical legacy of both well known and either forgotten or underappreciated highpoints in the history of world architecture. Why has Le Corbusier, one of the greatest of all architects, been treated as a villain? Through 70 engaging, thought-provoking and often amusing debates, Jonathan Glancey invites readers to take a fresh look at the reputations of the masterpieces and great architects in history.
You may never look at architecture in the same way again!
