The authors examine buildings of all kinds, from ancient domes likeIstanbul's Hagia Sophia to the state-of-the-art Hartford Civic Arena.Their subjects range from the man-caused destruction of the Parthenonto the earthquake damage of 1989 in Armenia and San Francisco.
The stories that make up Why Buildings Fall Down are in the end very human ones, tales of the interaction of people and nature, of architects, engineers, builders, materials, and natural forces all coming together in sometimes dramatic (and always instructive) ways.
