Fallen glory.

Kunst fotografie educatief internationaal electronics leisure 2023 boek: Buildings are more like us than we realise. They can be born into wealth or poverty enjoying every privilege or struggling to make ends meet.

They have parents -- gods kings and emperors governments visionaries and madmen -- as well as friends and enemies. They have duties and responsibilities.

They can endure crises of faith and purpose. They can succeed or fail.

They can live. And sooner or later they die.

In Fallen Glory James Crawford uncovers the biographies of some of the world s most fascinating lost and ruined buildings from the dawn of civilisation to the cyber era. The lives of these iconic structures are packed with drama and intrigue.

Soap operas on the grandest scale they feature war and religion politi and art love and betrayal catastrophe and hope. Frequently their afterlives have been no less dramatic -- their memories used and abused down the millennia for purposes both sacred and profane.

They provide the stage for a startling array of characters including Gilgamesh the Cretan Minotaur Agamemnon Nefertiti Genghis Khan Henry VIII Catherine the Great Adolf Hitler and even Bruce Springsteen. Ranging from the deserts of Iraq the banks of the Nile and the cloud forests of Peru to the great cities of Jerusalem Istanbul Paris Rome London and New York Fallen Glory is a unique guide to a world of vanished architecture.

And by picking through the fragments of our past it asks what history s scattered ruins can tell us about our own future. .
