The forms became freer and more organic, and architects become more conscious of the place of man in the natural world. Prague, Vienna, Würzburg, Paris, Nancy, London, Turin, Rome and Copenhagen are cities whose architecture is particularly featured in Christian Norberg-Schulz's book, which culminates in the artistic and technical virtuosity of the Rococo churches designed by the Dientzenhofers and Balthasar Neumann. The two central chapters examine the evolving architecture of the city and palace. The book is richly illustrated with photographs, plans, elevations and sectional drawings
