Hewasaquietman: What was the architecture book referenced in the movie Beastmaster?
In the commentary to the movie Beastmaster, the makers reference a book called “Architecture Before Architects” They said that this is a great book, covering everything from housing to urban planning in ancient times, and had an influence on the production design. I can’t find this title mentioned anywhere, and I think they may have remembered the title wrong. If any architects or architecture students are reading this, would you know what title this was? Or maybe recommend a better book on ancient architecture? Thanks

I don’t believe you will find it anywhere. I’m thinking they called a book that ’cause it sounds cool. I’ve watched all the Beastmaster movies. I like the bat people, especially when they show solidarity with Beastmaster to defeat the bad guys.

I can’t think of anything about Beastmaster but in World of Warcraft ( WoW ) book. He is called Rexxar, a descendant of Orc and Human.

I haven’t heard of a book called “Architecture Before Architects,” and I couldn’t find it for sale on amazon.com. There is a famous book called “Architecture WITHOUT architects” by Bernard Rudofsky (published in 1964) which covers some of the topics you describe (the link to its amazon.com page is below).

Rudofsky also curated a show at MOMA by the same title, affirming a patronizing view of the primitive huts of the noble savage…Modernism in architecture was on its way to dying a slow death. So, I think the text and theory behind the book is pretty terrible, its probably a good reference if you’re looking for a nice collection of photographs.
