Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Riverscapes are the main arteries of the worlds largest cities, and have, for millennia, been the lifeblood of the urban communities that have developed around them. These human settlements given life through the space of the local waterscape soon developed into ritualised spaces that sought to harness the dynamism of the watercourse and create the local architectural landscape. Theorised via a sophisticated understanding of history, space, culture, and ecology, this collection of wonderful and deliberately wide-ranging case studies, from Early Modern Italy to the contemporary Bengal Delta, investigates the culture of human interaction with rivers and the nature of urban topography. Riverine explores the ways in which architecture and urban planning have imbued cultural landscapes with ritual and structural meaning. Exploring the relationship between architecture and rivers, the book examines the interface between terrain and water through the techniques and cultures of landscape, urban, architectural and material history and design.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A reconstruction of the Strand palaces, where Englands earlymodern and postReformation elites jostled to build and furnish new, secular cathedrals This book reconstructs the so-called "Strand palaces"eleven great houses that once stood along the Strand in London. Between 1550 and 1650, this was the capitals "Golden Mile": home to a unique concentration of patrons and artists, and where Englands early-modern and post-Reformation elites jostled to establish themselves by building and furnishing new, secular cathedrals. Their inventive, eclectic, and yet carefully-crafted mix of vernacular and continental features not only shaped some of the greatest country houses of the day, but also the image of English power on the world stage. It also gave rise to a distinctly English style, which was to become the symbol of a unique architectural period. The product of almost two decades of research, and benefitting from close archival investigation, this book brings together an incredible array of unpublished sources that sheds new light on one of the most important chapters in Londons architectural history, and on English architecture more broadly.
