Description

The book presents the first comprehensive history of architecture in Pakistan from pre-historical to contemporary times. Although many of the historic buildings have been catalogued and published as articles, this work fills a significant gap in understanding Pakistan's architecture by encompassing not only the old but the new in one volume. This remarkable study, undertaken over a period of ten years, is illustrated with photographs of the buildings and their architectural features by the athuor and supplemented by numerous plans. In addition a glossary of terms, chronologies and an index of places, people and building types will increase the book's utility to the serious reader and scholar. - from Amzon
