This book is a fascinating journey through the history of architectural structures over the last 150 years, taking the World Expos as an original unifying thread.

It does not focus solely on the exhibition buildings; on the contrary, these are continuously compared to buildings beyond the scope of the Expos, thus ultimately providing a general vision of the history of modern structures.

This book is destined to become an essential work of reference within the study of the history of architectural structures. It is generously illustrated with more than nine hundred large-scale illustrations, many of which have not previously appeared in contemporary publications. It offers innumerable facts that will interest architects, engineers or art historians. General readers who do not have any specific knowledge of architecture or engineering will also be able to enjoy the journey.
