Sunrise to High-Rise: A Wallbook of Architecture Through the Ages

This large concertina book brings the joy of architecture to young people. Lucy Dalzell s warm, detailed pencil and illustrations document the evolution of the built environment from its beginnings in the stone ages to the most significant edifices of today. Set up on a long timeline that can be unfolded and which wraps around from front to back, the book includes buildings from all around the world, including: Eiffel Tower Taj Mahal Cologne Cathedral La Sagrada Familia Chrysler Building Fallingwater Seoul Tower Centre Pompidou Guggenheim Bilbao Burj Khalifa The Shard And over 60 others. Short texts next to each building describe what they are and what their architectural significance is in warm accessible tones that will appeal to adults and children alike. The book has a hard cut greyboard cover (similar to You Are Awesome), and is printed on dense stock that can be opened out and refolded without damage. The book can be hung on a wall like a mural, or read as a book. The text is printed in neon. A beautiful book for design and architecture aficionados young and old. Lucy Dalzell illustrated Discovering King s Cross: A Pop Up Book, and has had her artwork featured in numerous publications and on recent Transport For London promotions.
