A9781138340473Hardback. New. First published in 1999 this volume examines Sir John Soane 1753-1837 who was one of Britain's most inventive architects. His achievements include the Bank of England and the world's first picture gallery at Dulwich buildings of international importance. His country estate work inspired by classical antiquity ranges in scale from the remodelling of existing country houses such as Wimpole Hall in Cambridgeshire and Aynhoe Park in Northamptonshire to simple outbuildings. Here we see the emergence of the key themes of his style and the results of his precise attention to proportion design detail and light and shade. These are among Soane's finest works. Making full use of the Soane Museum and country house archives Ptolemy Dean here examines ten country house projects reconstructing the creative transactions between client and architect architect and skilled craftsman. It is impossible to understand Soane's intentions without the drawings sketches and letters which enable us to trace the process of design. With the author's own drawings in watercolour to illustrate Soane's use of light and space and beautiful photographs by Martin Charles Sir John Soane and the Country Estate offers an enthralling insight into the work of a great architect. An illustrated inventory the first fully researched guide to Soane's country house practice details an architectural legacy that has rarely been matched. hardcover
A9781848226838Hardback. New. <p>At a time of increased pressure for new urban development where there is a focus on either object-based architecture or the rolling out of developer-designed suburban sprawl there is a concern that the lessons learned about the creation of a general attractive ‘townscape’ or ‘streetscape’ have become forgotten or obscured.</p> <p>Featuring 26 of the most attractive and interesting historic town centres this book analyses key routes and the urban or visual incidents along them and explains why they might provoke different sensations of joy interest or containment for the inhabitant or passer-by.</p> <p>Each of the town studies includes two historical maps – one created by John Speed in the C16th which explains the general overall layout of a town its shape size defensive walls and river crossings and the other a first edition OS map from the late C19th which reveals the extent that medieval arrangements have survived or not. Key routes within selected towns are then selected and illustrated as a way to explaining the topography and layout of these towns and how one still experiences them. In particular there is the recurring theme about how the town might naturally draw you through to its centre the subtlety of character and placing of key buildings as markers each of which is uniquely different for each town. The drawings which illustrated the town studies are not only beautiful but can be discriminate in aspects emphasised.</p> <p>While individually the case studies are insightful and full of fascinating history and detail as the book moves through these towns themes patterns and natural groupings of towns emerge. Thus as a whole the volume allows comparisons and explores similarities and contrasts which enrich the book’s findings and lessons.</p> hardcover
