Ägypten

by Jean-Louis de Cenival, Henri Stierlin (Photographer)

The architecture of the pharaohs represents some of the most impressive creative work ever produced in Egyptian art and yet it has never been completely assessed. This volume is a singularly complete record of the architecture of the pharaohs ranging from 3000 BC to the Egyptian style of today, from the Sudan to the Mediterranean, and from simple clay brick buildings to monumental pyramids. Recent research and evocative pictures blend to create a new view on the oldest architecture in the world - a very special kind of journey through Egypt.

It is a dry book on architecture in Egypt in terms of the factors which created the trends more than the trends themselves. Illustrations provide valuable aid to understanding as well as lightening the overall work.
