This is a radical transformation of a classic book previously viewed as the Eurocentric canon’s centrepiece. With all chapters written anew and encompassing architectural histories and sites across the globe over the past 5,500 years, the 21st edition of 'Banister Fletcher' emerges at the forefront of the march towards global architectural history. Among many new features is an emphasis on the book’s ‘global’ reach, which reshapes its scope and structure.
The highly anticipated 21st edition of 'Sir Banister Fletcher’s Global History of Architecture' was published in January 2020 by Bloomsbury in collaboration with the Banister Fletcher Trust, the Royal Institute of British Architects, and the University of London.
