Features: This book primarily introduces the architecture of Europe from the 17th to the 19th centuries. Every major shift in architectural style is preceded by a change in the dominant architectural types. The development of architecture is a process of human creation, and every work included in this book reflects the (unheralded) contributions, gradual accumulation, and evolution of architecture. More importantly, the bold and visionary breaking of old traditions and the establishment of new ones also reflect the rich political, economic, and cultural content of European society at the time. During this period, Europe saw a variety of architectural types, with public buildings being particularly noteworthy. The continuous emergence of artistic techniques and the maturation of styles reached a high level. These mature architectural works represent the great revolution in architectural history, with a significant impact on the world. The purpose of this book is to provide readers with a more detailed understanding of the development and characteristics of architecture during this period.
