This enchanting and important book presents the art of the internationally famous architectural photographer, Ahmet Ertug in his latest folio, capturing the spatial essence of that most defining symbol of architecture, the Dome. The book is a journey through architectural history, from the immense spherical dome of the first-century Roman Pantheon, its oculus open to the sky, to the steel and glass of Norman Foster's Bundestag, Berlin, one of the most visited new architectural structures in the world. Along the way, are the domes of Byzantium including the Hagia Sophia, its dome pierced with lunette windows that make it seemingly float by magic, the mighty domes of the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and the Baroque, each presenting its architect with the greatest of all structural challenges - Brunelleschi's Florence Cathedral, Michelangelo's St Peter's, Sir Christopher Wren's St Pauls' in London, and the iron and glass domes of nineteenth-century France.
