Global Encyclopedia of Women in Architecture 1960-2015 2-Volume Set
Edited by Lori A. Brown, Syracuse University, USA and Karen Burns, University of Melbourne, Australia This Encyclopedia fills a void in architectural history, giving students, scholars and professional architects an authoritative reference to women architects and their work, and to key terms for gender and feminism in architecture. With over 1,000 entries and 600 images across two volumes, the Encyclopedia covers a key period in women’s history from 1960 to 2015 – from when the gender bar was lifted at iconic architecture schools, to the present day. Women now comprise half of all architecture students in many countries but students and scholars lack authoritative, globally connected histories of female mentors, peers and forebears. The Encyclopedia introduces them to the notable and overlooked women of the global built world. Within a geographical and historical framework, key architects from over 135 countries are included in detailed biographical entries. Coverage includes an expanded field of female designers from related fields (urbanism, landscape, and interiors) plus influential scholars, writers, and activists as well as keys terms, themes, books and exhibitions.

The Ruins of Palmyra and Baalbek Volumes I-II Robert Wood First published in the 1750s, The Ruins of Palmyra and The Ruins of Baalbek contain over 100 engravings of the classical architecture of these two ancient cities. The volumes were unique in providing systematic discussion of the sites' physical and human geography alongside two kinds of pictorial evidence: views of the ancient sites and detailed plans, with measurements, of architectural features. The volumes had great influence upon Neoclassical architecture in Britain, Europe and North America. This new edition features reproductions of all the engravings from the original publications and includes a new introduction by noted scholar, Benjamin Anderson (Cornell University, USA).
