Oxford Dictionary of Architecture states in its preface that "This book is intended to help the subject of architecture to become more accessible to the general public." It includes "a wide range of entries, including biographies of architects and others who have made contributions to architecture; architectural terms; architectural styles; building types; and certain regional and national movements." The scope of the book is limited to Europe, North and South America, but influences of other parts of the world are noted.
