Architecture a Visual History

Any CG modeler knows that reference images are everything. When I am modeling any type of architecture I refer to this book a lot. The images are very inspiring.

This 511 page book by James Neal is a must buy for any architect, travel buff, or anyone who enjoys architecture. This book talks of Architecture's great history in an introduction, then captivates the reader by bombarding his senses with extraordinary pictures. These pictures probe the prehistoric dwellings made by ancient people, it explores the great roman Architecture that spans centuries, and shows modern Architecture in its entirety. The bulk of the book portrayes Architecture in beautiful color picture form, so the reader can fully experience the Architecture, without boring opinionated documentary. In my opinion this book is a great addition to anyone's collection. Personally I have two copies one for home, and another that helps me in my studies, it is a wonderful resource and a great entertainment tool.
