Architecture is an art, a science, and a craft. But buildings also have to fulfill a function, cater to human use, withstand the forces of nature, and be built to a budget. Following his popular Around the World in 80 Treasures, Dan Cruickshank presents a compelling, maverick history of architecture. This handsomely photographed guide navigates eager readers on a tour of the buildings Dan believes have changed the world, such as the Catherine Palace in St. Petersburg and the Hanging Temple in Shanxi, China.

著名建築歷史學家丹告魯力山克帶領觀眾遊遍世界，造訪全球各地具代表性的建築物。從南非的太陽城、阿富汗的賈姆的宣禮塔、中國四川的樂山大佛、俄羅斯的鄉間教堂以至凱撒琳宮，及德國的新天鵝城堡……儘管各國建築風格迥異，擁有不同的歷史、文化及背景，但它們之間竟有著意想不到的聯繫。

整個建築文明之旅中，主持人以由淺入深的方式，為觀眾講解各國於建築學上的歷史及知識，細說每件建築物背後不朽的動人故事。
