The book explores the main trends of nineteenth-century architecture through illustrations and clear explanations. Not only are major European buildings described, like Joseph Paxton's Crystal Palace and Charles Barry's Houses of Parliament but also, for example, the growth of the skyscraper in the United States and Australian ironwork construction.
