Information Architecture Blueprints
Lack of information on the Byzantine Empire?

Why though it is often referenced in literature and history is the Byzantine Empire so little described? I mean it came after Rome, there is plenty of record of it, yes?

You hear so much about Bynzantium and Byzantine Politics, yet there are VERY few books outside of stale plain history books on their politics, political positions, fashions, palaces (I only found 1 3D representation of the famous Byzantine Great Palace of Constantinople which served as the seat of the Byzantine Emperors for 800 years.

On the other hand you have a plethora of graphical books, novels, illustrations, and everything on all levels from preschool to academic history on Rome, Roman life, Roman fashion, Roman architecture. I know it influenced the West but is there nothing but academic history books on Byzantium?

What about illustrations of their architecture, blueprints of their palaces? Documenting their way of life? Anyone know any resources?

This is purely because the Byzantine Empire only had a small effect on the development of western (i.e. wester Europe and USA) culture - in the same way, we are never taught much about the hugely important and diverse cultures of China and India, for instance.

I come from Greece and the Byzantine influence is still very much felt over there, and we are taught about it during our schooling as well.

My favourite books about Byzantium are those written by John Julius Norwich (see links below) which are very educational and informative, without being as dry as dust.
