Briggs is the definitive guide to understanding its grammar. This comprehensive reference work presents the full sweep of architectural history and terminology in an accessible yet authoritative format, covering styles, structures, and movements from antiquity through to the modern era. Illustrated with line drawings by the author himself and supplemented by pages of photographs, it serves as both an expert companion for the professional and an enlightening resource for the curious layperson.\n\nMartin S. Briggs, F.R.I.B.A., brings the precision of a trained architect and the clarity of a gifted communicator to every entry, making this encyclopaedia far more than a dry glossary. The work stands as part of the celebrated Everyman's Reference series, a collection long revered for democratising specialised knowledge. Whether one seeks to identify a Doric column, trace the genealogy of the Gothic arch, or understand the principles of Baroque urban planning, this volume rewards every inquiry — leaving the reader forever changed in how they see the built world around them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130685595867,"sku":"2026200010448-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8e63d6e6-d79f-4843-b752-3a6b5bcf3775.png?v=1786588469","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200010448-secondhand-everymans-concise-encyclopaedia-of-architecture","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
