Fagbøger for børn og unge: bygninger og byggeri

Born in Wisconsin in 1867, Frank Lloyd Wright became obsessed with a set of building blocks his mother had given to him on his ninth birthday. He grew up to become the father of organic architecture and the greatest American architect of all time, having designed more than 1,100 buildings during his lifetime. These included private homes - such as the stunning Fallingwater, churches, temples, a hotel, and the world-famous Guggenheim Museum in New York City. When asked how he could create so many designs, he answered, "I can't get them out fast enough." Frank Lloyd Wright was a man ahead of his time who could barely keep up with his own ideas!

A detailed tour of architecture in the western world beginning with the Egyptian pyramids and ending with the skyscrapers of the early 20th century. In between the reader encounters the architecture of the Greeks, the Romans, the early Christians, and the Saracens, followed by a treatment of Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance architectures and how they manifested differently in different countries. Amply illustrated with dozens of line drawings detailing architectural elements and floor plans, and plates showing representative buildings in their entirety. In this fine supplement to historical studies for the older student the author emphasizes the close association between the architecture of an era and the civilization that produced it, helping us see that through architecture we may grasp much of the spirit of past eras: their emotions, their aspirations, and their beliefs.

Young readers will connect with the story of this National Historic Landmark--the Brooklyn Bridge! Building the Brooklyn Bridge was no simple feat. Despite a brilliant plan from a father-son team of engineers, the process was a dangerous and grueling one. Construction workers developed a mysterious illness (now known as the bends), several died, and the project had devastating effects on the engineers' lives. Still, after fourteen years, the Brooklyn Bridge was finished and became the longest suspension bridge in the world at the time and is still widely admired today. Megan Stine tells the fascinating story behind one of the city's best-loved landmarks. Includes black-and-white illustrations and a foldout color map!

Discover the ruins of the Parthenon, one of the most famous and beautiful places in the world! Athens, Greece, is best known for the Parthenon, the ruins of an ancient temple completed in 438 BC to honor the goddess Athena. But what many people don't know is that it only served as a temple for a couple hundred years. It then became a church, then a mosque, and by the end of the 1600s served as a storehouse for munitions. When an enemy army fired hundreds of cannon balls at the Acropolis, one directly hit the Parthenon. Much of the sculpture was destroyed, three hundred people died, and the site fell into ruin. Today, visitors continue to flock to this world famous landmark, which has become a symbol for Ancient Greece, democracy, and modern civilization. Includes black-and-white illustrations and a foldout color map!

Buildings protect us, help us and inspire us, but do you ever wonder what they would say if they could talk? Do they have feelings? Are they happy to see us? Does it hurt when we stomp?

Written by Nikki Clinton and illustrated by 14 real-life architects and designers, If Buildings Could Talk invites kids of all ages to ponder the conversations they might have with the architecture in their lives. Illustrators: Elaine O'Brien, Cory Hester, Anh Tran, Darin Eng, Devin Wiesler, Emma Wallace, Charles Todd, Thomas Carlson-Reddig, Danielle Baker, John Komisin, Ron Boozer, Jim Thompson & Aranya MomAt Little (littleonline.com) we believe that architecture has the power to transform lives and we're excited to inspire the next generation of designers, engineers and planners to fall in love with the built environment.

The payloader makes the hole for the foundation ("DIG"), the semi-loader brings in the huge blocks ("HAUL"), and the crane lifts them up ("HOIST"). But is this a real construction site, or a boy's backyard? And after the structure is done, what happens next? Yes, the inevitable: he makes it all tumble down and is ready to start all over again!"--
