Book Description Paperback. Condition: Good. 320 pages. Oxford represents a microcosm of the architectural history of Britain as a whole, and as such this book is more tha n just a concise guide to the city's most celebrated buildings. H oward and Webster write knowledgeably about the city, highlightin g, for example, how the collegiate system of buildings arranged a round a courtyard influenced Britain's architecture for more than four centuries, while revealing how patrons and benefactors, who were some of the most powerful people in the land, worked with a rchitects and master-masons of the caliber of Wren, Hawksmoor, th e Peisleys, and Scott. The twentieth century has also succumbed t o Oxford's mix of the traditional and the innovative, with Leslie Martin, Rick Mather, and Hodder Associates, for example, mixing the concepts and techniques of today with the ideals and material s of the past to create new and exciting architecture.
