Synopsis
The first in a series on architectural drawings from the collection at the Royal Institute of British Architects, this volume looks at Sir Edwin Lutyens (1869-1944), one of England's most notable and best known architects. He designed over 300 buildings and projects, all of which were primarily traditional in construction style and technique yet brilliantly inventive. He is well regarded for his many superb designs for the large English country house (as well as the New Delhi Government buildings and the Cenotaph, London). The drawings parallel his career from beginning to end, thus providing the reader with an academic look at Lutyens's design process.
