5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting book, 17 Oct 2009
This review is from: Pioneers of Modern Design: From William Morris to Walter Gropius (Hardcover)
I am not an architect but a student of interior design. The book gave an interesting introduction into the artistic inspiration and processes going on at the period from Morris to Grotius. Personally I loved it.
