The leather-bound book "World Architecture"

Civilization began when the first architect was born and united people and their homes into a single space with his talent. Millennia have passed, and the world has been decorated with millions of buildings, thousands of bridges and hundreds of unique structures. Every city on our planet has its own symbol. These are the objects that they are proud of and where guests and tourists are taken first. And most often it is an architectural object. After all, architecture is the most impartial historian; it is a symbol, a sign and a message to the living from generations of past times. This gift book will tell you about the most remarkable buildings of different countries and eras, recognized as high classics of the art of architecture. The majestic antiquity of Egypt and the harmony of the temples of Antiquity, the ascetic canon of European Gothic, the genius of Renaissance architects, the splendor of the Baroque, the deceptive simplicity of classicism, the quirks of modernist buildings - a colorful picture of the change of styles and directions of "music in stone" will unfold before the reader.

Nevertheless, the wisdom of Confucius, filled with oriental subtlety and insight, deep irony and sanity, has not lost its relevance for two and a half thousand years.
