About Architecture is an engaging introduction to architecture, exploring the ways in which we construct our built environment, and why. Hugh Pearman guides us through the architecture that shapes our lives – from how our towns and cities are organised, to where we live, learn and work, and how we get around, interact with others and relax. Organised by type—from civic spaces, to homes, offices and museums—the clear and straightforward structure demystifies the many styles and functions of architecture.
