Egyptian Places: An Illustrated Travelogue,
presents an architect's account of visits to 12 of Ancient Egypt's most
spectacular sites, a journey that transports the reader from the urban
metropolis of Cairo and the Great Pyramid of Giza to the remote desert
setting of the rock-cut temple at Abu Simbel; with visits to other
monumental temples and towering pyramids which line the Nile River.


The
book recreates that journey, describing important architectural
features of these sacred monuments, their mystic foundations, and
religious significance. Over 200 colour hand drawings and graphic
studies capture and interpret the character of each site from the
architect's unique perspective.
