A lavish introduction to architecture features die-cut comparisons of igloos, huts, and yurts; a fold-out cross-section spread of the Coliseum; a mini-book that highlights a castle; and a tracing page depicting Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water.
From the back of the book:
Architecture and Construction is a voyage of discovery through time –from an ancient Egyptian pyramid to the modern glass pyramid at the Louvre in Paris, from the Roman Colosseum to medieval cathedrals; through space-exploring relationships across cultures and continents, from Mongolian yurts made of felt to skyscrapers of glass and steel in the United States. Architecture and Construction is interactive –designed to be read, handled... fully experienced! Through spectacular art and interactive elements in the book, you can turn a transparent page to see how a pyramid is constructed lift a tracing paper page to compare Frank Lloyd Wright's design to the finished house complete illustrations with reusable vinyl stickers, and more!
