This is the first close look at an innovative architect and inventor who held that traditional styles could be successfully adapted for modern times. The authors examine the work of Grosvenor Atterbury, highlighting his versatile talent as a designer of luxury homes, museums, town plans and low-cost housing. Between the 1890s and the Depression, Atterbury employed classical and Beaux-Arts traditions to find solutions to modern problems.

hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
