Description - Elements by Rem Koolhaas

The focus of this book is the evolution of the elements used by architects of every age throughout the history of architecture. Doors, windows, ceilings, floors, stairs, balconies, and other basic elements of architecture—often overlooked but universally familiar—are studied, analysed, and catalogued by means of an endless variety of visual references, from ancient times to modern developments. This exploration avoids the classical Eurocentrism that often still characterises architectural discourse as it looks at the evolution of architectural elements that are common to all cultures.
