From Autos to Architecture: Fordism and Architectural Aesthetics in the Twentieth Century
This is a gorgeous book for looking at the details of the Taj Mahal, the fine stonework and the geometric and flower patterns. This book has relatively few words and is mostly photographs, which is what I wanted: to see the Taj Mahal. It has many many color photographs from many different angles and perspectives, from far away panoramas to very closeup detail. There are views of the roofs; there are views of the two red buildings that function like book ends to the complex. There are views of the garden in front. I was surprised to find no people in the pictures, but I guess that makes sense, when the real interest of the building, in this case, is the building itself. I just thought, in my naivete, that there would be crowds. It's kind of a relief; there are no tourists pictured, so I can more easily focus on the artistry.
