Stories of Famous Buildings with Illustrations: Architecture Inside+Out
Description
Book Introduction
From ancient palaces and grand cathedrals to futuristic homes and stunning skyscrapers, architecture plays a vital role in the development of history and culture.
[Architecture Inside+Out] examines 50 of the world's most impressive buildings, revealing their architectural characteristics through detailed illustrations and providing key interpretations within the context of each building.

This book will help you learn how ancient structures like the Parthenon and the Colosseum were built, and you'll even understand the color codes of the exposed structures at the Centre Pompidou in central Paris.
You'll also get a glimpse into the sinuous curves of Canada's Absolute Tower, and the architecture of the U.S. Congress through the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C.

In particular, we sought to reveal the technical characteristics and original intentions of the construction process through hand-drawn floor plans, cross-sections, and interior perspectives, and examined the construction process over time with each architect.
Although the true meaning of a building can only be grasped when one lives within it, [Architecture Inside+Out] explores the main space beyond bricks and mortar to indirectly explore the fundamentals of the interior of the space.

The buildings featured here have been selected based on their significance in architectural history, their role in the development of architecture, and their architectural characteristics revealed through three-dimensional drawings. Through over 400 illustrations, they will offer a new perspective on the world's most famous buildings.

Publisher's Review
Public Life
When people hear the word "public" in relation to architecture, they think of government-built structures, i.e., tax-funded buildings that provide essential services to citizens.
Examples include buildings such as post offices, police and fire stations, garbage dumps, transportation facilities, city halls and government buildings, and courthouses.
Another representative facility is the legislative body for elected representatives.
We will examine representative public spaces beloved around the world, such as the Colosseum in Rome, Dulles International Airport in the United States, and the London Aquatic Centre in the United Kingdom, as representative architectural structures related to public life.


Monuments
When people think of 'Monuments', they always think of souvenirs, sculptures, etc. for important events or people.
In fact, the word itself comes from the Latin 'monumentum', which reminds people of past achievements and personalities.
The word also connotes buildings that represent great symbols or cultural icons of their time.
The monuments section of this book introduces architectural monuments that remind us of humanism and major historical events, such as the Palace of Versailles in France and the Parthenon in Greece.


Arts and Education
The topic of 'arts and education' is very comprehensive, including art schools and museums, and performance venues can also be included in this category.
In fact, all formal and informal educational facilities, including libraries, universities, schools, and technical colleges, fall into this category.
The Arts and Education section features world-renowned museums (such as the Sir John Soane Museum and the Grand Louvre) as well as dynamically designed post-war concert venues such as the Berliner Philharmoniker.


Residential Living
"Live well!", "Live a life of abundance!", "A good life is the best revenge." In a sense, these proverbs can refer to a luxurious and extravagant lifestyle.
Some of the houses introduced in the residential section have sites, spaces, and views that go beyond the everyday meaning of the word 'shelter'.
But on the other hand, it also features homeless shelters, clinics, and small, modern houses that are built efficiently and inexpensively.
Representative examples of residential buildings include Villa Rotunda, a retirement villa in Vicenza, Italy, and Villa Mairea, a summer vacation villa in Finland.


Worship
When we think of Western religious structures, the cathedral often comes to mind first.
The worship section includes several key examples, including the Gothic Chartres Cathedral in France, the Early Renaissance Cathedral in Florence, the High Renaissance and Baroque St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, and the Baroque and Neoclassical St. Paul's Cathedral in London.
