5.0 out of 5 stars This is a fascinating book covering all major buildings in t, 29 Jan 2002

By	peterl@wspasia.com.ph (Hong Kong) - See all my reviews

This book is a marvelous base to start studying the interesting buildings in London.Each entry gives a concise summary with clear conclusions on every building, if the authors don't like certain features then these are pointed out.These summaries are intelligent and thought provoking and I would highly reccomend this book to both amateurs and practising Architects.

5.0 out of 5 stars essential guide and reference book, 6 Sep 2009

By	C. Grafe (Bremen, Germany) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Guide To The Architecture Of London (Hardcover)

This book is both: a fantastic updated reference and a guide to the Fair City.
Written as well-informed, insightful and witty essays, the entries read like an alternative architectural and social history of London and show the city as a collective endeavour over two thousand years.

As a now rare example of historically informed architectural criticism this book provides an antidote to the culture of amnesia in contemporary architecture (and this applies to the followers or prot�g�s of the British crown prince as much as it does to Sub-Hi-Tech architects). Very readable and informing for the intelligent visitor; recommended to architects as an essential reminder that there is more to their discipline than mindless doodling and greed.
