Requests:  0 Summary:  Examines how architecture has evolved over time by looking at buildings that typify each period, from the pyramids and the Parthenon to the Chrysler Building and the Sydney Opera House. "We spend most of our lives in buildings. We make our homes in them. We go to school in them. We work in them. But why and how did people start making buildings? How did they learn to make them stronger, bigger, and more comfortable? Why did they start to decorate them in different ways? From the pyramid erected so that an Egyptian pharaoh would last forever to the dramatic, machine-like Pompidou Center designed by two young architects, Patrick Dillon's stories of remarkable buildings--and the remarkable people who made them--celebrates the ingenuity of human creation. Stephen Biesty's extraordinarily detailed illustrations take us inside famous buildings throughout history and demonstrate just how these marvelous structures fit together."--Publisher's description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 720.9 Di Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hanapepe Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 720.9 Di Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 720.9 Di Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 720.9 Di Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 720.9 Di Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 720.9 Di Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 720.9 Di Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 720.9 Di Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 720.9 Di Checked In Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 720.9 Di Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 3 Next
