Earth Architecture: From Ancient to Modern

From ancient forts in New Zealand to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., Earth Architecture ranges across the globe, covering more than 6,000 years of human history.

William Morgan, a practicing architect and published author, has created an invaluable compendium of environments shaped by the manipulation of one of the most fundamental building blocks available: earth. This splendidly illustrated volume contains intricate, detailed descriptions of more than fifty sites, written in non-technical language that will appeal to a broad range of readers.

Mounds, shaped hills, and terraces are only a few of the categories of structures Morgan systematically examines as he surveys everything from semi-subterranean dwellings to large-scale engineering projects. His exhaustive look encompasses a 4,200 B.C. settlement in the Negev and a contemporary performing arts pavilion in California. In addition to the unknown master builders and engineers from ancient times, works of modern architects including Le Corbusier, Frank Gehry, and Frank Lloyd Wright appear in these pages.

Morgan's focus on the architectural uses of earth in shaping societies and communities suggests implications for contemporary architecture, and the sites discussed offer numerous precedents for sustainable design, energy conservation, and environmental enhancement.

The Art and Architecture of Ancient Egypt (The Yale University Press Pelican History of Art)

The ancient Egyptians were profoundly concerned with life after death. In their tombs, they recreated life for the dead in a naturalistic way, giving us deep insights into their culture.

These include revealing portraits of the kings and queens, and their civil servants - the men and women who built the pyramids at Giza, the tombs at Thebes and the temples at Luxor and Karnak. These monuments with their wall reliefs, paintings and other works of art are reproduced here in over 400 illustrations, many in colour. First published over 40 years ago, this revised edition confirms its status as one of the definitive accounts of the subject.
