A wonderous portfolio that has to be seen to be savored-or even believed for that matter. Here are the plans for the Tower of Pisa-on a skewed drafting table, the Eiffel Tower tipped over across from the Seine, the ruins of a McDonald's stand following some future Vesuvius, the disastrous meeting of the Great and Lesser Walls of China, and many other gems.

There's no one like Macaulay when it comes to creating insightful, witty drawings that explain our physical world. Most of his books are straightforward, which is not to say dry, but in Great Moments in Architecture he has let his sense of humor dominate. Famous buildings are turned upside down and dissected, often hilariously.
Macaulay still instructs, even in his most whimsical moments, and the reader will gain a new understanding of and appreciation for some of the world's great structures, some of which are so often seen as to have become invisible.
The book also has a selection of early working sketches for the final drawings, so that in addition to learning more about these great buildings, we gain an understanding of how one of the world's greatest draftsmen goes about his work.
