More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
By the 1930s the Liverpool School of Architecture was the most famous British school of architecture in the world, promoting modern architecture and city planning internationally. This book looks at the cultural environment in Liverpool at the turn of the twentieth century which enabled such an important institution to come to fruition. It examines attitudes towards design practice through the work of patrons, practitioners, institutions and theorists in the city, and considers the way their ideas were formed by national and international trends. From a city microcosm of contesting design aesthetics emerged a unique synthesis that was to exert a profound international influence in architectural and planning design.

A welcome, scholarly, and much appreciated contribution
10 Feb 2003
Format:Hardcover
Design Culture In Liverpool 1880-1914: The Origins Of The Liverpool School Of Architecture by Christopher Crouch (Lecturer, School of Visual Arts, Edith Cowan University, Perth, Australia) surveys the development of an architectural design ideology unique to the British city of Liverpool that took its own distinctive directions quite apart from those commonly ensconced in both British and American architectural trends and developments. After an informative and extensive introduction, the text is nicely organized into seven chapters covering the styling and ideology of the arts and crafts in Liverpool; the university and cultural origins of the Liverpool School of Architecture and Applied Art; the inauguration and evolution of an Integrated Course within the university architectural curriculum; "Liverpool, the United States and the Beaux Arts Vision"; the influence of Charles Reilly; and the role and impact of the "Town Planning Review". Enhanced with a select bibliography and a quite useful index, Design Culture In Liverpool 1880-1914 is a welcome, scholarly, and much appreciated contribution to academic History of Architecture reference collections and architectural design study lists.
