The book is divided into ten chapters, ranging from antiquity to modernism and beyond, each written by an eminent specialist. Following an introductory overview of the period are commentaries on the critic's fifteen personal favorites from that era. Each absorbing, self-contained essay covers who built the featured structure and why, technical and design details, and the broader social context in which it was created.
The contributors' choices give the reader an enormously varied selection that includes world-famous masterpieces such as the Parthenon and Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater alongside lesser-known architectural treasures that have, until now, been the private pleasures of the experts.
