Architectural history is considered a part of the history of art, concerned with studying the historical development of building design and city planning... We find that architecture arose with the beginning of humanity when the need arose for man to protect himself from the dangers that surrounded him. We find that European arts these days have a widespread influence in most parts of the world, more than the influence of any of the arts of other continents. This influence began after the Middle Ages, as Western European countries became at the forefront of influential global countries. However, this influence began to decrease when Europe's influence began to fade during the twentieth century. In your hands is a book the likes of which you rarely find, which talks about famous modern architecture in the world, the biographies of the pioneers of modern architecture, their intellectual achievements, and their genius facilities.
