Buildings are more like us than we realize. They can be born into wealth or poverty. They have parents—gods, kings and emperors, governments, visionaries and madmen—as well as friends and enemies. They can endure crises of faith and purpose. They can succeed or fail. They can live. And, sooner or later, they die. In Fallen Glory, James Crawford uncovers the biographies of some of the world’s most fascinating lost and ruined buildings! from the dawn of civilization to the cyber era. Soap operas on the grandest scale, they feature war and religion, politics and art, love and be trayal, catastrophe and hope. Frequently, their afterlives have been no less dramatic—their memories used and abused down the millennia for purposes both sacred and profane. Ranging from the deserts of Iraq, the banks of the Nile, and the cloud forests of Peru, to the great cities ofJerusalem, Istanbul, Paris, Rome, London, and New York, Fallen Glory is a unique guide to a world of vanished architecture that asks: What can history’s scattered ruins tell us,about our own future?
