Features: History is created by people, and the history of architecture is no exception. The many vivid historical scenes presented in this book are not dry conceptual teachings, undoubtedly serving as an indispensable supplement to architecture history textbooks, and thus possessing greater inspirational and educational significance. No wonder some professors have told me that they occasionally quote examples from Reminiscences of Famous Architects in their lectures to inspire students. This book is a sequel to Reminiscences of Famous Architects, published in 2000. Motivated by the positive response the original book received, the editor, at the request of a wide readership, collected and compiled over 70 articles, recreating many living historical scenes in the field of architecture and documenting some little-known moving stories of its predecessors. It provides strong evidence for many historical events, showcasing vivid and compelling historical scenes, making it an indispensable supplement to history textbooks and holding significant importance in inspiring future generations. This book is suitable for architects, faculty and students of architecture schools, architecture historians, and cultural figures.
