This is a very good softcover copy with almost no wear. Completely clean inside, covers clean, faintly toned. This catalog was prepared by the Belsize Park Conservation Area, (no date but ca. 1986) for an exhibition. The idea for the exhibition was to examine the neighborhood, 'Belsize Park' and try to resolve some of the questions about preservation versus new construction. Belsize Park was Arthur Rackham's last residence. Alfred Stevens lived there, also Agatha Christie. A number of well known architects have designed buildings there, for example C.F. Voysey and Wells Coates. It was also home to a number of modern architects: James Stirling, Norman Foster, Robin Spence and Richard Rogers among others. Essays by Leon Krier, Andrew Saint, John Summerson, Jack Pritchard, Robin Spence, Gwen Barnard, Christopher Wade, Lady Read, and Roy Allen. Illustrated in black & white with many photographs (some 19th century) of Belsize Park architecture. 8" square, 63 pages.
