Rice's Language of Buildings covers the grammar and vocabulary of British buildings, explaining the evolution of styles from Norman castles to Norman Foster. It aims to enable the reader to recognise, understand and date any British building by explaining the language of architecture. With it, buildings break down beguilingly into their component parts, ready for inspection and discussion. Ungainly and inept descriptions will be a thing of the past and, fluent in the world of volutes, hood moulds, lobed architraves and bucrania, you will be able to leave a cathedral or country house with as much to talk about as a film or play.
