Beschreibung
The plans are drawn up, a site is chosen, foundations are dug: a building comes into being with the expectation that it will stay put and stay for ever. But a building is a capricious thing: it is inhabited and changed, and its existence is a tale of constant and curious transformation. In this radical re-imagination of architectural history, Edward Hollis tells the stories of thirteen buildings, beginning with the once upon a time when they first appeared, through the years of appropriation, ruin and renovation, and ending with a temporary ever after. In spell-binding prose, Hollis follows his buildings through time and space to reveal the hidden histories of the Parthenon and the Alhambra, Gloucester Cathedral and Ayasofya, Sans Souci and Notre Dame de Paris, Malatestas Tempio and Loreto, exploring too the landmarks of our own time, from Hulmes legendary crescents in Manchester to the Berlin Wall and the fibre glass theme parks of Las Vegas.
