An introduction to building methods from ancient times to the present day. In the afterword (to the 1990 pbk. ed.), the author discusses recent advances in science and technology that have had important effects on the planning and construction of buildings: improved materials (steel, concrete, plastics), progress in antiseismic designs, and changes in both architectural and structural design made possible by the computer.
